...For Now

My mind, it wonders as
I eye the room where she sits in spirit.
I think of the laughter shared
leading up to these days
of blocked thought.

I could finish her sentences
but the pouting look on her face
reminds me not to.

So I leave the endings
up in the air
where she tries to grasp them
with hands
"that know not what they do."

I think of you,
and how I have left "us" for now.
How "wanting to share feelings"
are walled inside me
because it would break me
and I am already weak enough
when in your presence.

To be held and comforted
no more...no less
My Saturday Wish
allowing myself to be me...
for now.

M

There is no way to plan,
The tower and death are in the hand,
Tarot poker of the future
Things left to their nature
Too much sadness and change lingers
The fates twine fingers
Then dance a circle round
Till predictions devastation sounds
