can't disconnect
from the feeling
that we haven't truly met
side views underline
my hypothesis
we talk, and fill
trying to keep what's still there
even if all we see
is the fantasy of what's
for us
each convincing with words
what we can't say
and movement to movement's
a mile away
empty islands of remorse
waved over with dark waters
of insanity
why does it have to be this way?
(stay)
Too many flights on the stairway to heaven. Or do I mean distance makes the heart go wander? The Far Side of Paradise ?
ReplyDeleteI remember when I had to go to the bank on Friday to get $3 in change to make that long-distance call from the telephone booth, hoping she would be there. I don't remember how long we could converse on three bucks; only that the time was short.
T-Mobile wasn't even a dream. I wonder if it truly helps any now ? Or has it become so commonplace that one omits, or forgets to contact?
sometimes it's hard to have spirit only. other times, it's the only thing to warm the night. so...it wavers.
Deletenow you have so many ways to communicate... even memes make the heart tender, strangely enough. a shared smile can be everything :)
Well said . . . .I experienced a couple of serious "wavers" back then, that now seem merely mirages of memory.
