I'Ve Missed You So

I’ve missed you so. . . In my scurrying about, I reach another end Of a dry throat, and a parched mind I am panting, because I haven’t yet stopped I write on, and I am still running… Out of fruit, out of novelty, out of time I’ve missed you so. . . And more so as I sink into the life I must shape Into the soul that must always and forever create The truths that you teach And the heart that you gave I’ve missed you so. . . For you are genuine light on a body of stagnant truth I wish I could move like you, Without a gleam of doubt, Without that quick gulp of air Which I have convinced myself I need before I go in again Over and over and over again! I’ve missed you so. . . We meet so briefly in this time-warped sector How these hands mean to clasp on As to never move from your comforts again To let the worry rot And bloom into all that it is not

Laura, so many meanings can be taken from this work. The last two lines hold deep emotions, beautifully done.

Your poem of a sad and nervous heart tells me that the truth is little more than dead weight without love's innocent zest Poetess. I feel a potent courage from you, its a beautiful bloom...J.A.B.
