Sitting here waiting
Buzzzzz
You text me, “Be right down”
“Be right down” turns into
Searching for a song on the
Radio-night radio
waiting
Buzzzzz
You text me, “Sorry, had to do laundry. On my way.”
On the look
out-waiting.
For
you
For
future
For
love
For
happiness
Still
waiting
TAP TAP-on my car window
No longer
waiting.
Waving,
smiling
Greeting
The nights air is cold
We park and go up
To your room
You show my things I’ve never seen
Views
Stars
Photos
Creating
memories
Told me what I want to hear.
Wrapping me around your
Perfectly
primed finger
The sun
rises.
The light illuminates truths
I’m blinded by it’s glorious rays
Off I go, intoxicated by
“foolish
emotions”
Then, shortly, I’m left again
Waiting
For a
message
A response
An answer
Left second guessing myself
Devestated
Insecure
Still waiting for a
Reason why.
Wow, I have to say i love your poem for more than one reason. First off, its really great i love the way its said, and its meaning behind it. The other reason why is because I can relate to it so well. I also have written things that have been stirring so long with me that when it does come out its a flowing river of emotion that i don't really know how to deal with. When i did finish, everyone i have read it too can feel that emotion behind it. I have to say, letting out the emotion is a good relief, and a small portion of it lets us.. let go in the end. Thanks for sharing this poem to the world, because i think its beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this poem, too. LOVE IT! It's lively, honest, contemporary (with the texting). It takes the mundane (laundry) and makes it feel critical. I also love the use of sound in it. Okay, so I have to ask, have you taken a creative writing poetry class yet? :-D Just askin'. You're clearly a multi-talented writer. Kimberly
ReplyDeleteThanks you guys- glad you enjoyed it. And no I haven't taken a creative writing poetry class, but maybe I should look into it:)
