Restless (On A Rainy Night) * Time is now! A clouds water breaks, Springing rivulets. The midwife night Allows rain from the dam That brings a sound, Of rippling. I hear faint music But darks-tar Blocks all reflected, Shine on my eyes Of silver drops falling, (No signs) Of glitter of, Millions of baby diamonds. * Three a.m. I am typing, Alone, in-dim monitor Light writing poetry, While-others-rest Nearby, of my waking; Completely oblivious. * Their sleep is quiet, Deep and peaceful. Their dream-stirs and breathing Absorbed by the distance, Measured in lengths of the halls, (To where I sit) Wide awake; Composing this. * Seems as like, they are (Those lovely breaths) the same, So quiet like the falling rain That taps and tears the put up panes, And sifts... Like gentle voices through the screens. * At half past five, an alarm chimes. Outside my window, wrens awake And aim, to chase what wrongs, Have caused their songs refrain... And though I yawn, I'm restless for the day. * Outside more dark clouds pass, Pregnant, low Foreboding, show Their ready now to birth more rain. * end |

hey ice, i haven't seen any of your poems yet, but this one was great. I like your choice in username too. Sometimes I'm more icy than windy...I will look for your work in the future If art is still inside, I feel it |

Riley... Thank you, glad you liked it..:-) ********************************* Wind...:-) Thank you for reading this poem..yes, ice and wind do have an alignment,especially in long Pennsylvania winters...My nic has been shortened from icefishinluvr, I am no stranger to strong winds... **************************************** Shadows..:-) So you have been here, done this also...

Hi ice I have been up at that hour too, restless, listening to a house breathing, writing words...I like yours. I hope you'll be posting something new in Open 28.  |
