cryptic clues

@Uootem

Sometimes I am a poet of cryptic clues
words don't always come out straightforwardly
so look for the obscure messages and subtle hints
meanings that couldn't mean anything else but what they do
avoid the poetic illusions and dismiss all confusion
for once you knew me as well as yourself,
love connected us that way.

a man on desert land
with oar in hand and
a yearning for the sea in his heart...
an oasis in the distance
the source to sate the thirst
visited on a prior journey

look upon this words not with eyes
but with a heart where lost love resides
if you don't, this verse means absolutely nothing,
but it holds the truth for all time, if you find the view.

the moon obscured by winter's sky
no stars to navigate our journey
kept in darkness is the truth of hearts
I don't like the blankness of such a night
eyes that see love can illuminate
where is the glance that youth gave
so much promise of future pathways
I now wait for sunrise vistas.

poetic messages that have no logic obvious
you must unravel phrases with shared memories
to find the words that only the heart can pronounce
then the meaning will become apparent.
