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.

    Everyday is the same for me. I get out of work, log-in to my triond, and see if Liane had something published! It’s always worth the time!!!

  • 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!

  • TommyP on Jan 7, 2009

    Sweet Liane,
    I believe I’ve been in similar circumstances many times myself… Believing… Trusting in the wrong person/people. I’ve got my own explanation for this which I will post for you now.

  • Lauren Axelrod on Jan 7, 2009

    Beautiful as always Liane. Well done!

  • CatelinHoover on Jan 7, 2009

    Lovely as always, Liane :)

  • 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…

  • AC Hamilton III on Jan 7, 2009

    Good job Liane. That was great!

    AC

    #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

  • marcus cruz on Jan 8, 2009

    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.

  • MMV Abad on Jan 9, 2009

    Love the choice of picture… blue indeed :)

    I find it really hard writing free verse but coming from you, it’s so natural! Thank you for the beautiful poem, Liane.

    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

  • Lostash on Jan 20, 2009

  • 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.

  • F J McCarthy on Feb 5, 2009

    Beautifully written Liane, Your poem evokes a primal sadness and our need of someone to love. I loved 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,
