Turtle, Don't Hide.

Contributed by keilantra on Monday, 6th September 2010 @ 12:18:53 PM in AEST
Topic: LostLove

I am a child
curious and confused,
wanting to touch what is forbidden and reach for what i cannot hold.
You are a shelf stacked high on the wall
afraid that i will one day grow to see that your trophies
are only there to distract from the dust.
Afraid that you are plain and
replaceable.

I am a bee
fast and yellow and
not opposed to stinging when i am afraid.
But you are a flower that will not bloom
afraid to be sucked dry and left
with nothing .
Yet i come back to you, waiting
spring after spring after spring.

I am a composer
resting my hands on the keys
I want to play you just right, from the first sigh to the least tear
But you are a song more impossible than any other
with rhythms that change before i can remember how to play them
with notes that always on the verge of something so beautiful
if only i could find the right key.

Perhaps you are not meant to be written.

Ooooh - made me squirm with recognition, this one. Its also the last tumbler in the lock - the feeling that if everything fell into place, all would be revealed. Lovely writing and conception.

Spi...fe? Spi...le? Spi..ke aah, that's the ticket

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
