Somewhere .... In Time


My Love,

I lean back,
in my swing tonight,
overlooking the balcony
trying to capture a breeze
listening for my words,
the ones that are missing
in my thoughts

words ...
that I can't hope to express
telling of secrets
that have been hidden
so deep, inside one's heart
that as they rise in throat
they seem to catch and choke
leaving me gasping for air,
still needing that one small breath.

just one ...
to allow me the chance
to regain my senses
to be able to feel again
to smell the newness of life
to be able to see through the shadows
to know
that there exists for one
somewhere
... the warmth
somewhere
... the truth
somewhere
... the affection
somewhere
... the love
somewhere in time...

As I await, the comfort
of thee.

Lady Ollyne

I had to come in cuz you used the title of one of my favorite "Christopher Reeve" movies. Lovely poem, too. I would suggest using my instead of mine as no other part of the poem supports this particular vernacular use of this form of that word.

Its tenderness and strength will be improved if you do so, I think, but you're the author, and your decision writes the piece.
