Stumbling Through Your Paradise Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Stumbling through your paradise,
With eyes not opened wide enough.
I wanted to believe,
You would find paradise in me.

Stumbling through your paradise,
What is it from me needed?
Since what appears to me,
Are dreams come true successfully...
For you.

'Have you not been in my dreams?
Have I not shared them with you?
Have you not been in my dreams?
What is it you wish me to prove?
Love? '

Stumbling through your paradise,
With eyes not opened wide enough.
I wanted to believe,
You would find paradise in me.

'I did not need you!
I wanted you.
And wanted you to feel the same.
If it is paradise with me you see...
It is because of you,
That view is there as it is seen.'

Stumbling through your paradise,
With eyes not opened wide enough.
I wanted to believe,
You would find paradise in me.

'No paradise alone can one see.
Lose conceit.
No more stumbling then will you greet.
If with me you believe you should be.
Lose conceit, lose conceit.'
