FOR HOW LONG?


But to know that you are there, when I not see you or hear of you...
But to feel your warmth, when you're not near, and I'm not far...
But that our hands may touch across the din..
But that our eyes can smile in that knowing way...
 
The launching of all rockets when your smile comes into view...
The wind caressing my skin when your touch shines on it...
The promise of all our tomorrows and enjoyment of today...
The one we found in two; The two we know as one...
 
And I will lay at your feet the blooms so carefully nurtured,
Expecting nothing, but a soft hand caressing my hair,
And a strong arm pulling me up to your face,
To forget about all truths, all lies, all things...
 
Breaking all the rules; Knowing all the risks;
Hoping all the dreams; Accepting all that's given...
Not for a day, or a week, or a month, or a year, or a lifetime;
But for always with an option to renew into eternity...
 
Romantic, you say...? Romantic indeed! You make me so.

THE ODD NUMBER


The odd number
 
The odd number that makes a triangle,
the interrogation chasing the doubt,
solitude in an unrushed holiday,
without a candlestick or wine.
No matter how I suffer
for you can't see or know,
being executioner, you serve vennom.
 
Here I am, like a zombie, existing
with the yearning to see you again,
on a sunny day, if it rains,
let your presence awake me.
Each day starts
without your greeting,
I can't cry
so much pain.
 
A train running its coursein reverse,
perpetually escaping anticipated danger,
a ram blindly attacking a wound
in its own dying image.
Shattered mirror
in a thousand pieces,
a companion
I detest

IN WAITING FOR YOU


In Waiting For You
 
In suspension, in a vacuum... In waiting for you.
Watching the populace, in a rush, believing they are indispensable.
Watching dirty automobiles racing to pack a parking lot.
Searching, without finding an agreeable excuse.
Searching in each face for traces of a night of loneliness,
carousing, or even mating.
 
In precarious balance, in fear... In waiting for you.
Doubting my strength that dwindles and trembles.
Doubting tomorrow, virtues, friendships,
and even the God I adore.
Yearning for traces of lies, cold and unforgivable.
Yearning for a spark of acknowledgement in mocking
faces that I see daily.
 
Crazed, blinded, drowning in tears... In waiting for you.
Seeing the parallels of the train tracing interminable
without ever finding each other.
Seeing the waves of the sea flagellating rock in the rough
impeding my walk.
Losing the path in each turn that's expendable.
Losing innocence, illusion, hope to share love's sway.
 
In space, in time, in silence... In waiting for you.
Knowing that your reasons are deniable excuses.
Knowing your pedantic smirks that dodge, that deny
each of my desires.
Accepting reality of uncoverable human essence.
Accepting that my shield will again shatter upon the attack
of your next flirtation.

Literary Quotes

HAVE I CHANGED?


Have I changed?
 
I sat down at seven and wrote about
flower and fairie, and wind, and cloud
about monsters that roared and heroes that soared
about angels in heaven, and seventeen, and seven!
 
I sat down at fourteen and wrote again
about innocent kisses, and laughter, and pain
about hands that could hold and lips that could smile
about dancing, and instants, sweet love and its wile
 
I sat down after children were part of my life
long after a man had betrayed and sufficed,
and my body had hurt, and my soul was inspired,
and looked in the future and saw it denied
 
I sat down when my life was all but a dream
and my pen willed to write but could only just scream
and solitude, my companion, would not let me be
and thinking of you would only hurt me
 
I tried to sit down after struggle was life
and only tomorrow would justify the strive
I could feel I could do, I knew I could fly
but cautiously stepping had turned into sigh
 
I sit down in my sixties and try to explain
what I need, what I want, if I had love again
and I know in my heart still nothing has changed
and just like the girlwho wondered the strange
 
and still want the flowers, and perfumes, and dance...
still want the kisses, the laughter...the chance,
the hero on his horse with a bunch of wild flowers,
that can fill every dream, every day, every hour
 
Oh, love, so ethereal, for on gossamer wings
you build up these walls and hang them on strings.
Oh, love, so enriching, so powerful, so close...
If you reach with your hand, will you now know my prose?
 
Lily Thompson
