I have nothing

Without you I have nothing
From just the tiniest glimpse
I have seen the glory
From just a drop
I swim in the ocean
From just a flash
I see the light
From just one kiss
I have felt the love
From just a touch
I have witnessed the power
From just a tiny seed
I have grown a giant
From just a word
I have been told the story
From just a single note
I can hear the song
From just a single step
I know the way
From just a moment
I have eternity
Without you I have nothing

Re: I have nothing

Very good poem.

It measures things in a way I didn't think of.

In my thoughts I'm thinking about the things I'm natural at and the connection its given me to such an advanced progress in the multiple things.
But at the same time if that one thing, or things were to be taken from me, or someone else, it would flaw them and break their composure- maybe self-esteem.

This poem really points out this one thing to me, kinda makes me wonder if I should rethink how simple I should have been; how I should have judged/measured my priorities and my very own luck.

Re: I have nothing

I like this. It is very ambiguous. It can be read as about a taste provoking a longing so strong, or that same taste satisfying forever. Both of these can be taken in a positive or negative way. I suppose it depends upon the power of imagination.

Re: I have nothing

I really like this.
Flows well. Very good rhythm.

I'd like to see some punctuation, though...I don't know why punctuation gets to me so much =x Kind of makes it 'look' better, too, IMO.

"Without you I have nothing.

From just a touch-
I have witnessed the power.
