Reaching Through Time

It was just the other side of you
that I turned over one day.
Not too well done,
as I reached through time
to capture a taste
and dream your fears.

Sometimes I love you,
when the moment at hand
produces titles
to free my mind of circumstances
and walk whichever way alliteration
sends a stranded soul seeking silence.

I would tender care you
in wishful thinking,
would pause the season's
silken soft nights
spending thoughts
that would honor you.

Instead tonight,
I serenade my mind
with understanding,
thinning my wants until limp,
waiting for the warmth,
watchful of the last vision
to accompany an adaptation
of this evening's final dance.

M

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

M., you write supreme poetry. Don't ever
feel otherwise. You truly do...

~ I want to absorb those lines into my own mind!

A delicate and classy piece of writing!

'thinning my wants until limp'

this is a very forceful locution... it's framed well by the balance of your thoughts

really got to me.

Timing is everything, and it's a pitty it's not always on our side.
I know this sounds silly (coming from me) but we are the only ones
who can open or close that door.

And you gotta love the idea of someone breaking it down.

Love you Maur~ Loved your poem!
