“While I'm writing, I'm far away;
my
darling!
light
lit
radiant, yet dim.
blue
bulb
‘veScent
aglow
you waiting
by window
moon--fullest
And we,
blissly blest
you waiting
by window
moon--fullest
And we,
blissly blest
"goodbye?" no.
more apropos--
“hello!”
our shadows
spoke
I
listened,
finally, broke',
stepped away...
(here comes a joke!)
like old Peep
who
sold seed.
“These
special seeds
Grow at such speeds,”
Say Shadow-Peep to me.
“Throw them on the ground
And
JUMP BACK OUT OF THE WAY!”
OK? fair warning.
Back
to story of mine
(and
yours—sublime?)
One hour, one day
at a time
I shall write
at a time
I shall write
And tonight,
saddest
poem of all:
and sometimes...
you loved me too.”
I LOVE these two
Neruda quotes,
especially the one at top!
(And also the one at bottom--grin!)
A sad poem, but truly felt, I think. That is even sadder.
ReplyDeleteLove may rust, may need some polishing, somehow, in my brain, love cannot vanish.
Love is not a door to walk in and out of.
Change of heart, change of direction, yes.
However,when you loved, you did love,that cannot be changed.
Peace, long-lasting peace to you.
we blissfully blessed...is there any other way to be? its a blessing to be loved isnt it...smiles...hellos are much better than goodbyes as well...travel on peep...
ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful ... take care my friend !!!
ReplyDeletei love the neruda quotes as well...esp. the first one...and don't stop traveling steve...love is a beautiful and precious thing..
ReplyDeleteThe seeds grow so fast.
ReplyDeleteBecome lines of letters.
And they speak.
Aah, you so took me there...how well you blended in Neruda.
ReplyDeleteA blessing it is indeed, and many a travel will come due from it. Great quotes too!
ReplyDeleteGreat quotes and great thoughts my friend . Love and Peace to you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful...
ReplyDeleteI like saying hello and waiting by the window ~
ReplyDeleteNeruda is such an inspiration ~ I have written some poems (as Heaven in another blog) under Neruda's magic words ~
Have a good week Steve ~
You've got a little candle glowing there. k.
ReplyDelete"our shadows spoke
ReplyDeleteI listened,
finally, broke" beautiful phrasing.
This is beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteI love the hope of people in moonlight- thanks.
ReplyDeleteMe, too! (sigh!)
Delete“Throw them on the ground
ReplyDeleteAnd JUMP BACK OUT OF THE WAY!”
I so get this!
HA! I found you! You're the one with that sense of humor so lacking in our world. Thank you Laurie for responding!
Delete"light lit
ReplyDeleteradiant...."
Words to be spoken.
As I visited your blog,
DeleteI found myself being
lost in the interesting
conceptual writing
found there.
PEACE!
“I loved you
ReplyDeleteand sometimes...
you loved me too.”
While I'm writing, I'm far away;
and when I come back, I've gone.
you are not a little ols peep
and the seed you sold
grew grew so far a distance
love u 2
Where the sold seed sowed
DeleteNo way weeds growed
There, wherever, whoever reaps
They must be some happy Peeps.
Thank you, Canary-Peep!
