Poem of the Day
I just came across this in an old file of poems I had. I don't really remember it, so it was cool to read it, as if for the first time.
The Woman I Am
By Glen Allen
The woman I am
Hides deep in me
Beneath the woman
I seem to be.
She hides away
From the stranger's eye-
She is not known
To the passers-by.
She goes her way,
The woman I seem,
But the woman I am
Withdraws to the dream!
The woman I seem
Goes carelessly-
When love goes by
Does not seem to see.
But the woman I am
Knows sudden fear...
And hides more deeply
When love draws near!
For love might look closely
Perhaps... and see
Her beneath the woman
I seem to be!
