[Chaotic Action Man]

try to be awkward,
not realizing your gliding,
graceful,
floating,
as you dance through life.

i know your pain.
hidden so well
except for that corner of your eye.
you store it all,
until so heavy,
gravity pulls it from you
in tears.

i want to be there
to catch them as they weave.
i want to be there
to catch you if you fall.
i want to be there,
if you’ll let me,
beside you,
always.

my heart,
you have.
presented freely.
two open hands
you hold it,
so fragile
and just remade
and there is no other
i could entrust with it more.

on and on and on,
into the wind,
blowing so hard
on vancouver nights,
i’ll continue to shout your name
through the open window.

these soft whispers,
sent out with hope
they’ll catch the wind.
carried out,
finding safe passage
to your ears,
from lips,
trembling with the passion
of your name upon their tips.,


all the while hopeful,
perhaps she too
sits at an open window.
where if i yell loud enough,
she can hear her name
filled with the sound
of the way the world loves her.

you try to be awkward,
not realizing your gliding,
graceful,
floating,
as you dance through life.
i want,
if you’ll allow,
to dance through this lifetime
with you.

wow, i really liked this! good work

 

[Chaotic Action Man]

thanks for the replies everyone. this was written over a weekend. the first two stanzas were written the night i met someone, we spent four days locked in each others arms and then i wrote the rest the night she left to go back home.

all things played right i'll get to see her again in seven months and then we will...
so long, but so worth the wait.

on the last night i said i would wait a few years if i have too (of not seeing anyone), and i meant every word.

i've not sent her the poem yet, and i don't thinki will. at least not over an email. perhaps a letter is in order.

A handwritten letter is so much nicer than an email anyway!

I really liked this. Simple, but beautifully written.
