There are times where I feel
as if I was dropped in the middle
of a dirt road in the desert
Stranded,
not known and knowing where I am
That’s how I feel with you.
There are times where I feel
as if I was dropped in the middle of the Patagonia
Awaiting for the midst to take over my senses
and sight
To come in,
to bulge into me and
take me cautiously yet with no precautions
To the peaceful place
where you have been waiting
patiently yet excitedly for my entrance
My love,
there are so many things
that I might not understand about you
Or your past
Or unknown things,
things that when people ask it makes me think..
how much do I really know you?
Yet as these questions are asked
your face comes up before,
blocking all these letters and commas
And takes over the canvas
Making it into the Patagonia,
my Patagonia
There’s nothing more beautiful then being on you,
On the highest mountains
and feeling the air,
the breeze upon my shoulders and neck
There’s nothing that I might know
about this Patagonia,
but I don’t need to
I don’t need to
I don’t need to know,
because I will risk my life to climb every mountain
just to find every flower,
every little insect,
every little pebble that is on this place
To some it might be insignificant
But in your Patagonia,
you my Patagonia,
each one of these has a name
Not just a name,
but a meaning;
a background,
a color,
a scent
Everything I need to know
about you
my Patagonia,
is that you will let me travel you
let me travel inside out
like the sea shells do to the ocean
Let me travel,
let me surround you,
let me discover you,
for I was built for those roads in you
Some dark and shady
Some sunny and moony
Yet each one of them are you
And I, my love
will dedicate my life to travel you
For you are my Patagonia.
I love the first 6 lines -- nice. and then the poem takes a different path with the 'my patagonia' aspect. And I like the question you ask, "how much do i really know you?" So true.
