Like ink in a jar
milk in flesh
grass in a seed
i wait for you.
To help me sing, breathe, grow
and dance among snowdrop leaves.
And like all these paper cut outs
like the phoenix of time gone by
my own framed renaissance
occurs in the blink of your eye.
You let me dangle for a moment of your time
fluttering gently in the breeze.
You fling me away.
And again i am left
foetal, fearsome, failing.
i wait for you.
Like the Queen's service you get here
in your own time frame
the cogs that make you turn
eventually click round to me.
i perch once more inside your palm
the fingers enclosed around me
safe for a time from the daggers below.
i can see the slits of light get wider
silently day by day.
I wish i could bind them
but my grip is always frail.
I wait for you
to blow me away from you
like a kiss.

| Are you afraid? Your poem suggests a fear of not being wanted. Time alone will give you the answer that you seem to be looking for. Good strong poem I liked it. bern |
