Virga

I feel the mist within your look;
The cant of interest;
The way your eyes pretend to want
Nothing at all
Yet still approach
As do the wisps of a summer's rain
Slanting over the ocean's surface.
I know, by choice, the desert's pain;
Silent, close, relinquishing
What most insist is necessary.
Vacant?
Yes,
But in a way that I can see
The face of longing,
A thirst for beauty.

I am not aware of what Virga means, but the body of the poem is wonderful...so its title must mean something very, very special...

Bob--You write with such a poignant pen, so softly sad and alone, yet still the observer, you see beauty. Wonderful poem!

Bob, your writing does not resemble virga, rather it is like a downpour of thought provoking words. Well done, again, my friend.

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Ya know, I was gonna leave it alone, but I can't help letting you know that everytime I see the title of your poem, I think "Viagra"

It's a perfect poem, don't change a thing, its just me I'm worried about...LOL

Bob, have to admit it was the title that pulled me in first. (I too thought it said Viagra, as I quickly, I guess too quickly, scanned the blue page of titles.) Think I should have my eyes checked. At any rate as I read down the lines I realized just how beautiful this poem is...and I do love this style.

I love the way that you can take an ordinary word. . . and make it sing. . .

well done Sir. . .
