Where were you in darkness?
I called your name, once, twice, forever. My lonely echoes
became to myself loathsome, as if I was the cause of my solitude.
Where were you?
I was waiting. Candles, wickless,
the unlit fireplace sarcastic, mocking my uselessness,
the very sun struck out like a match--
humiliated like a small
& disobedient child.
The cold shadows in the absence of light seared my fingers
and blistered the soles of my feet.
I pressed forward my vain, hollow cries in the night,
unreturned and yet I, foolish, kept pleading. My tongue
trembled at the supple touch of your name,
and so I kept calling;
I was waiting for you.

I liked this poem because the reader doesn't know who your calling out to. You artfully describe the the agony of being alone and desperatly wanting a companion. My only question is the title. Why "repeat?" Still I was very impressed by the poem. Great write. |
