Here Comes the Sun?
February 14, 2015
A phrase is fraught with ambiguity,
its message this or that or neither nor.
The essence lost en route from you to me,
I then must analyze what lies in store.
The real encoded meaning can give rise
to feast or famine on the table set.
A ray of hope shines through in my surmise,
yet caution needs eclipse my biased bet.
For one interpretation makes it seem
my sunny disposition comes to light,
but in the shadows of the other beam,
my polar inhibition bids goodnight.
So should I hasten unto you or stay
some ninety thousand thousand miles away?

Very cool! I have always been an introvert myself, but I am perfectly fine with that. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this poem. I will tell you, this is absolutely outstanding! I can honestly say that I love it. I have a style much like yours, whereas I`m actually a bit too abstract. I have a style where I`ll start out with an idea or though, and I`ll build off of it. It`s generally an abstract or broad thought, but I can`t quite make it narrowed down or make it very clear or detailed like you can. What I really, really love about this is how you took a kind of abstract idea and turned it into something beautiful and meaningful. I have written many, many poems, but so many of them turn out too abstract, or just lame and random. I believe that all written word items have beauty, but this poem shows very deep, asymmetrical thoughts. It`s amazing!
I am an introvert, and I hope that other introverts can relate to my social angst! I want to get close to other people, but I frequently overanalyze their motives when they communicate with me in any way. This sonnet expresses that confusion.
