I do

i trust you

but for the
thin thread
of doubt
that is in
the mercy of
anyone.

in my heart i know
i have faith in you

except for
the insidious
suspicion
that
anyone can
infuse into
me.

but
i do
i really do.

m. - It's not supp to be honest, actually. It's subtle sarcasm.

transience - Thanks.

Bob - You say such nice things! Thank you and I'm happy to know you enjoy my work. :)

livinghigh - I hadn't noticed all the poems! Good you pointed it out. :)

stan laurel - What does sp mean? I'm guessing special. Actually, this is a poem loaded with subtle sarcasm. I intended to hit a spot as mussolini put it.

mussolini - You got what I was saying in this poem. And I'm glad for that.

anyone can
infuse into
me

Sarcasm or not, that's a truly great ability. A trip to your blog always soothes me and brings a Buddha-smile to my face. :)

Tender, revealing the insecurities that capture us from time to time.

Kristian - I guessed it was you when I read the Buddha! I suppose your footprints are easily identifiable anon or not.

And I'm truly humbled that you think the blog brings such a smile to your face.

Anonymous Poet - That's a different way to put it - insecurities. It's..left me speechless.
