There are words
to shatter complacency
there is a particular silence
to mute even the clamor
of heartbeats
there are songs
to soothe the savage heart
and lullabies of wind
to break the monotony of rain
I waited for you
like soldiers to the marching song
I waited for your speech
like keyboard to fingers
kindling to the brand
a slave to the command
an accident waiting to happen
There is no moonlight
other than the one painting
your skin
there is no right
other than the one you bring
no cold colder than your cynicism
there is no warm
other than in your arms
I shall wait again
until I wait no more
Let me just do this right…
MALIGAYANG PASKO SA IYO, AT SA MGA MAHAL MO!
Have a really merry one Ree. I wished that, for you. :)
one waits because he/she is besieged by memories he/she wants to relive.
but the natural course of memories is to fade. and then, there is no more fuel for the “waiting.”
ah, i am just wondering where the old scars are; i willingly forgot.
anyway, i want to greet you a merry christmas, ree. thank you for the inspiration. ;)
I like driftwood float in this vast sea and wait for undercurrents.
I coasted for a bit in these Quiet River and unruffled bits of sand and debris but, Alas, real gems!
Your vernaculars; muses to behold!
Another link I hope to feed on,
I’ll be drifting again in this River of Stillness to soak in your ripples.
It’s new year’s eve and one more time, let us say, ‘Live life. Make a difference. Touch one heart. Encourage one mind. Inspire one soul.’ Happy new year!
neat.
Just checking what’s going on by the River. Keep the coolness flowing! Will send you one of my *notebooks* soon kasinlo.^_^
Paix.
i like this. matches my mood this valentine’s day. it’s good that you can put your melancholy into writing. my pen and inspiration has abandoned me for this day…
