And, I’m missing you.

Source

In the small hours of the evening
You can’t turn my way
And tell me you love me
Without giving yourself away

And I can’t hear words
That are laced in-genuine

They cut the air
They suffocate this chance
They knock me off balance
And remind me
It’s another opportunity to pass

When the wrong shadow
Walks by your side
You can sit and listen to the clicks
Until night glows divine
Until morning greets dawn
Until my heart can finally shine
Until tomorrow comes again
And innocence returns
As a welcomed friend

Alone or with another
It makes no matter to me
Truth chooses carefully
And somehow

Finds me

While I sift through
The words and whispers
Found in libraries
Found in quiet talks
Found in two

When the night is blue
And, I’m

Missing, you.

Will Gray on Jan 7, 2009
Such great word usage, besides being so beautiful amd romantic!
Westbrook on Jan 7, 2009
Some struggle to put together a poem. I suspect it just flows from your heart rather than your head.
Carolyn Ann Aish on Jan 7, 2009
I feel loneliness, sadness and yet a measure of peace and resolve in your words. When a poem makes one FEEL, it is a good poem. Well done.
Mark Borg on Jan 7, 2009
wow.. very deep and intense! nice work!

I really liked it, but I don’t know why. It’s just so lovely.I would welcome your comments about my stuff?
Darren Goad on Jan 7, 2009
Another top notch one.
Fegger on Jan 7, 2009
That’s a lovely line, introspection, “…the wrong shadow”. Who is this wrong shadow; and how is it wrong? The line isolates itself as if you were surrounding the balance of the piece about it; and I need to know…
S M Blomker on Jan 7, 2009
a very nice poem. I like it a lot.
Eunice Tan on Jan 7, 2009

#34 Fegger I felt the same…is it wrong because she mistook somebody for the one she is missing or is she with somebody else right now..very intriguing

this poem was inspiring and really good
QuinMonty86 on Jan 8, 2009
Reading this poem gave me chills. I’m new to Triond and to writing poetry. To do what you do so effortlessly is what I strive for. I’ve nicknamed you “The Princess of Triond”. You really inspire me. Wow. I also read your article on inspiring new writers, and it did what it was supposed to do. Thanks for that also.
Maria Blazz on Jan 8, 2009
I’m starting to realize how many poets are in the Triond community and this is another great discovery, thanks!
Sebastian Teacutter on Jan 8, 2009
Wow!! That was simply amazing! It honestly gave me goosebumps it was so good! You make my poems look like trash lol.
Anne Lyken Garner on Jan 9, 2009
I used to teach Literature some time ago. I don’t write poetry anymore, but I had to learn a lot about them. Most of the poems here on Triond, lack rhythm. I like the rhythm in this one.
jamestimmons on Jan 9, 2009
Enjoyed reading your work, you may enjoy reading some of mine

I like the color blue but many says that \’BLUE MEANS ALONE AND SADNESS\”,is this true?????
About the poem,it is really nice and very intriguing but overall it gives a since of relaxation while reading. . . . good work!!!Keep on writing beautiful poems……!!!
Lizzie Green on Jan 19, 2009
I love work that puts you in the place of the writer, and this does exactly that-I could be that person, thinking those things. It makes it so real. Another great piece of writing-I can see why your popular on triond-well done!x
Kate Smedley on Jan 21, 2009
A beautiful poem and gorgeous picture.
M Ashley on Jan 25, 2009
I love the whispered hush of libraries. This poem immediately took me there. My favorite part is “Truth chooses carefully/And somehow///Finds me.” Wonderful. A perfect picture for this poem, too! Thanks for the inspiration!
S Air on Jan 30, 2009
Beautiful poem, really liked it.
OhSugar on Apr 3, 2009
I don’t want to miss any of your works, so I decided to see what I have missed. This one is no exception, greatly enjoyed it.

God bless,
