Missing You

Dear Poet,

It was beautiful
today
to sit in a booth
in a coffee shop
at the edge of the universe
and watch …


A little girl
in a winnie-the pooh T-shirt
walked by … fixing her hair …
smiling …giggling
becoming part of my world /
becoming part
of my existence /
becoming part
of my words to you
this afternoon … part
of our dance /

I wanted to
pick her up
and squeeze her, but I didn't.

She passed
like wind … like sunshine /

Erroneous: "like a sunset
she moved
west"

and gone
~

The muse
waits
for you to undo
your mind …

The muse
waits
for your candlelight … and your solitude

The muse
waits
for you to unleash
your desires
onto the screen … to unleash
the secrets
that burn
inside you

The passion

The distance

And the closeness
the distance brings you
to yourself

Perfect, perfect poet.


~

We
would be perfect,
dancing together
in the night

We
would seduce
the muse …
and use
our passion
like blankets, and walls,
and shades
on the windows


~


The seduction
of a soul … with whispers


The seduction
of a soul … with poems

The seduction
of a soul … in candlelight, and night

in a booth
at a coffee shop
at the edge of the universe


~

My life suits me / only sometimes, poet
laughter
tears … time to write / time to think /
time for visions
time for fantasies
time for images created, and released

time
to tell the morning
my thoughts … time
to find your words
waiting
when I return
in the afternoon

such perfection

such strength

I picture you, poet

sitting
at your computer / reading
your poems
on a make-shift stage / surrendering
to the night
as day
leaves
again

Your intelligence

Your talent

And me
keeping
your image
close to my heart
keeping it private /
watching it
only
while writing
you a poem …
or writing you words … like the words
I writing you
tonight

~

I miss you, sweet poet

You are special ….

so beautiful

and your poetry ... like a lifeboat /
always, always keeping me a float.

Take Care,
~SAS~
