Poem: I knew you



I knew you,
although I'm sure 
our paths haven't crossed before
I knew you, 
like I know my toes
sipping warmth from the soil
I knew you, 
like I know my fingers
steeped in paint
I knew you, 
like I know the rhymes
I form from out of that internal dialogue
I knew you, 
like I know the crooked smile
I leave when I do something mischievous
I knew you, 
like I know that if we wore the same shoes
the steps we'd take would be unique for each one of us
despite the difference of opinion
or for that reason in particular
we are to be and love one another

    This poem speaks of a very strong relationship, I think. It expresses positive feelings about knowing another so very, very well. Beautiful poem.

    This speaks of such beautiful, nostalgic child memories... :)

    Isn't this the very best of human nature? The ability to empathize with, trust and love people who were once strangers. This is the kind of poem I would like to cut out and hold against my heart. It is perfect.

      indeed, some strangers feel like they were our friends our whole lives.

    finding a soulmate is such a precious thing... and doesn't happen very often... a bit of magic in this...

    Ah. the love is so strong in this.. and hope.. but still by using the word knew instead of know... there is a tension and concern that it will not last... the closing gave some solace to my concern...

    Beautiful images. That crooked smile seemed to really echo even after I finished reading the poem. Good job Natasa!

    I like the deep bond ~ For me it speaks of family relationships, like mother and child ~ When I had to name my children, I always trust my deepest instincts if its the right name, as if I had heard the name before ~

    ha. i like that the difference of opinion is what brings them together to be and love....to know and be known is a deep need of ours....this is a nice intimacy in truly knowing each other...

    I enjoyed this poem that seems to have the narrative of 'becoming familiar'. what makes these writings more expansively interesting, is everyone's take/interpretations.

    I love that even if wearing the same shoes, you'd each be taking your own steps - that is a wonderful relationship.
