Through the open window The night breeze, urgent now Persuading The lace curtains To join the dance ~ She turns again Blends the ticking clock With the drip of a distant tap Until the uneven beat Fits the discords of memories ~ She reaches out Fingers the empty pillow Recalls a tangle of hair The remembered face softened By half light ~ Where do you rest tonight My walk away darling Does she trace the love lines down, down as I once did Tell me lover? ~ Into the small hours Known well to the lonely Passing headlights Chase bedroom shadows As she closes her eyes and swallows the pain. |

Welcome to PiP, Cari . . . The abject loneliness of an empty pillow calls out to the one who has made her life sad beyond compare. Where indeed is he laying his head tonight. ~ My inner world is my paradise and I am its keeper ~ |

Cari, Could feel this one, favorite lines.. "Where do you rest tonight My walk away darling" & your last stanza also. Good read from beginning to end. |

Roadside motels in the strangest of places. "Passing headlights chase bedroom shadows", tells me it might be time to check out. Every line like a tell. Here's to you and here's to me and should we ever disagree, here's to me! |

Back to the top.. This needs to be read by more. "Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance." |
