I looked on as he said good night
Wondering if he knew..
My eyes searched and my lips
Drew teeth with pensive attention
To all that lay before me
To reread I thought is to read too much
Yet.. I do-
to find in all that’s his
something for me ..and happily
with a foolish willingness
re-ignite my love.
Wait..and
Watch my unforgiving
Heart destroy itself.
Tell me that if I reach out my fingers
I will touch
you
When I breathe in deep
Inhale
you
That when I open my eyes
I will see
you
Iam a flight less bird dreaming…
Do you not see?
Iam building a nest for us
It’s teeming
with joy
Made of slivers of hope,
shards of memories
and imagined feelings..
and of
Expectations:
they are bright and
beautiful
Like rainbows and
gold and
pink candy floss
like
flitting butterflies
Lovely, weak,
Fragiles to be crushed.
You, my dark soldier,
For though you bring joy,
in its folds
I have hidden fear!
And I doubt ..
I doubt!
For Alas!
you have sent
tornados and quakes that
threaten to crush
my nest
And your lips
They are stained with dark lies
my love
Of false promises
My heart
Prey! Let me borrow your wings!
It is for the best I say to him
Leaving- boxes packed
stacked
Separating like heated curd
Sour, sad, simple and
ruined.
That if we were to meet we would
Slide
off each other like
Water on leaves
Never to mix
yet
Like running water in its veins
Love runs in mine
And his I assure
Deep and strong
A part of us
gone
Its happening again
Backwards though
Watch me fall out of love
I wish you would
say
you care
that you love
that these days and years have
been not
lost
i wish you would
cry and
weep in my arms
sorry ..
as sorry as i…
I wish you would
go
away
and make
my choices easier.
i wish you would
say
what your heart says ..
in a word
confirm
what my heart
makes!
i wish you would
find a better friend
and tell me
you
are leaving..
leaving?
I wish you would
see what i am
and understand
the absence.
