A SP Exercise...10 Words


I saw your picture


we spoke
Words poured in
filling my soul again
as my body opening up,
having been closed
since the day you walked away
Internal windows
once again ajar
Glad to know you're well
I've been wondering how you are
Sleepless
tossing
whispers crossing
trekking through my mind
Vibrant memories
some of them unkind
My caged disappointment
demanding
to be released
hoping to find a little peace
I opened my mouth
and not a single word escaped
My heart sat
silently
submerged in pain
while my spirit murmured
It's good to see you again
Had my loins
been filled with courage
in my usual ritualistic approach
When you said that you missed me
I would have said to thee
I think I missed you the most
Ribbons in the sky
floated above me
in vibrant oranges,
and yellows
and blue
I gladly pulled you back
into my arms, welcoming you
I would love for you to stay
But, it would only cause alarm
Always something to be said
for my cocoon of of fear and dread
which makes me feel
a quiet hesitation
Wondering still....
can our love close the distance
and can time spent apart
strengthen my heart
make your feelings for me
seem more real
