THE SPEAKING STILLNESS (for Satya)
Folder:
JOURNAL#26 the corner
as green as any envy
with paint chips
snickering
at approaching shadows
dusk stalks the late
afternoon
with vengeful purpose
the furniture cowers in
almost comical fright
anticipation laps at the
minutes
that refuse to pass at
regular intervals
Tom Petty's words
constantly lord over
the pinched emotions in my
head
'THE WAITING IS THE HARDEST PART'
Oh Satya, oh my so ached for love!
fight these dragons
sleigh all the forces of our forced
separation
be the prince you've always been
come to me soonest my darling
for my castle feels like its been
so terribly stormed
as my hope flails in a sea of hot
fearful tears
my soul whispers
'Have Faith!'................
