Poetic Essences
Walk into Talk
On someday.
As I walk into your talk
I hear your voice again
Singing like a melody
The sweet, sweetest refrain.
Through the years and the tears
The whispers in my dreams
Passed as fast as the breeze
Breaking from the seams.
What went wrong is a song
Like a twelve-bar blues
From your open lips
Right down to your shoes.
There was quiet and despite
The floods and rain that came
Deep down in a broken heart
Things were not the same.
I watched my verse try to rehearse
The fractured feelings that I felt
And like an awkward intercourse
I ached below the belt.
The pride and fall and purpose
Turned red like autumn leaves
Others lost in the impost
Leave as two hearts grieve.
In this incarnation
The lessons I have learned
Patience love and forgiveness
Are what my heart has yearned.
Someday not too far away
Will you merge from the blue
And we can kiss in total bliss
I will not fail you.
