The Balcony


the balcony would be empty,
but for me
and a rising sun

it is that hour each morning
when I watch,
when I feel,
liquid shine
pouring slowly into
all those dark spaces
where alone hides

it is that hour each morning
when I miss
feeling warmth next to me,
when I miss
that last touch of night
and that first touch of day,
when I miss
knowing there is one
who will understand my every meaning
with a single glance,
when I miss
loving

sometimes,
I almost believe
it doesn't matter at all
most times,
I know
it is all that truly matters

Sandpiper...the lovely pipping sounds I heard
brought a sunny smile to my face and the ocean
breezes were fresh with salt air...

This is quite beautiful.
"liquid shine

all those dark spaces

I lean against the wind pretend I am weightless and in this moment I am happy

This somehow soothes me as it reminds me of one of my favorite pleasures, relaxing on a balcony with a drink watching the sunrise or set.

Sandpiper...First let me welcome you ! That was a great first post for you!!
But this poem is UNCANNY!! I started one about 2:00 am this morning in almost the EXACT same way....Here is the way I started mine...

           EARLY DAWN
But for me, my deck would be empty
at such an ungodly hour.
Reluctant to let go of the night,
knowing that dawn is fast approaching.

I had been sitting on the deck when this
entered my mind. I would like to post mine if you have no objections to it.

And again...WELCOME!!!!
