COULD I SHARE
Could I share with you my fantastic fantasies?
While you help me integrate them with reality?
Could I share with you my different-drummer music?
That is both inside and outside of me?
Could I share with you the books I have read?
And show you a map of my soul?
Could I share with you the books I have not read?
And show you a map of my desires?
Could I share with you my terrible past?
Those god-awful experiences that forged my soul?
Could I share with you my desperate yearnings?
The next creative project I must undertake?
Could I share with you my bountiful friends?
The ones who have shaped and molded me?
Could I share with you my anticipated joy?
For that would give me my greatest joy.

great work…I am looking for someone to share with but I haven’t found her and sometimes I doubt it will happen.
@godfatherofgreenbay - Thanks. I also am searching but have about given up hope myself
I always maintain that hope is a dangerous thing. But people tell me that I must never give up.
Love the song that is playing! Also, love Klimt art! The Kiss is one of my favs!
You are an interesting, caring, talented person! I’m sure someone will say “yes” to all those questions. 
What a beautiful poem! It actually made me a bit teary-eyed. I love the second “stanza”. I have “different drummer” in me, too.
HUGS!
What a moment this painting represents. Thank you for sharing.
@nov_way - I’m glad you like “The Kiss” by Klimt.
@AdamsWomanFell - Thanks for the support. I hope you’re right in someone saying “yes” some time.
@adventofreason - Yes. Hope is dangerous. And yes, I’m trying not to give up.
yes you can share….anything with me sweetie….i have this statue….hhhhmmmm
some one special gave it to me….muah
“Could I share with you the books I have not read? And show you a map of my desires?” I like that. And love the art. Great combination.
@songoftheheart - You’re right. Aesthetics should be another thing to share – to reveal the beauty of life.
My favorite Gustav Klimt painting…have a reproduction hanging right over my computer desk!
@ExposedWrists -Thanks. Don’t you just love it?
Brilliant poem. Love the way the hopes and desires loop around each other.
@ZSA_MD - Thanks Zsa. Have you noticed the theme of sharing in my posts lately?
I loved this, thanks for posting it!

Happy Birthday David. Hope this is great day and year for you. When are you planning to write another post?
That is a REALLY brilliant poem.
But then, you already know how much I admire your posts.
@twoberry - Thanks, twoberry. I just put in a new one you might enjoy.
I’m here now and enjoy reading your meaningful words.
@RestlessButterfly - I would appreciate it if we could perhaps communicate via personal e-mail. Mine is DavidKimball8@gmail.com
I would like to ask you how restless you feel right now
@curiousdwk - With my injured knee… no, not restless but restful and lazy. I’m enjoying myself for doing nothing right now.
Btw, my email address is quareztina_04@yahoo.com
