~*~

Twilight at dusk lasted longer today
the floor boards made for a cool evening
as I walked through the door.

I knew you wouldn't be here
and I wasn't supposed to miss you
so I kept myself busy.

Flipping switches
lighting candles to fill the emptiness
pouring wine into a crystal glass.

Letting the bouquet swirl and hold me over
Carly was singing "Anticipation"
and chasing after some finer day.

Consuming my thoughts in contemplation
filled with regret and happenstance
slow dancing across my mind.

Spilling forth in celebration
warm and breezy as the sun went down
ever grateful for second chances.

Tangible in dreams or not
isn't easy to convey
nor is this feeling I can't explain.

Your poem speaks your feelings very well.

Blues,
   Loved your poem;  each stanza layered image to build the following--nice and tightly woven, but with such a freeness in flow.  Nice job, Blues!

You too Blusey?

That’s the story of my life

Well, I’m glad I’m not the only one  


Anticipation huh?

Great song!

Thanks Bluesy

Hugs Martie girl, and thank you~

Hello Michele, ma belle~  Thanks for ringing me.
O you do know I appreciate it, doncha?

Sadie~ What a nice compliment, I sure do thank you for that.
Tightly woven and free flowing, if only I could do that every time.
Thanks again~

Hey Richy~  I must confess, I questioned that verse,
but I'm glad it worked, because I didn't feel like explaining it anyway~  

Thank you thank you, one and all~

sometimes feelings just need to be felt, and not explained....eventually they explain their-selves your heart is lovely...
