Notes About The Poem

For Caycay and Kyle

Hello Kyle
     It's been a while,
     I miss your smile :)

CayCay? Life has these habits, it grows on us
With tentacles we never asked for
In ways we never wanted, but we have no choice

But late at night when all is dark allusions of
grandeur in star- and moonlight, sing serenades
of connections through the distance,
a hand reaches out to say: here, here I am

     Kyle, I'm still the same
     I love to play a game
     And if I lose? Such a shame!

Wind carries voices, and sometimes longing
More often friendship through ages
What is age anyway?

So if you find me on the beach looking upward
Smile back and glide down that rainbow
That is there, always, even though
sometimes hidden behind clouds and rain

     Kyle, next time you are free
     you will  see
     A mail, from me

CayCay Godwin February 19, 2017 at 9:57 PM I see this printed out and hung on his wall, where I shall always gladly pause to read your words again. That we cross your mind, is a gift, that we stay and linger enough to inspire your pen, is like magic sailing across my heart. You have touched me. You are love, Darren, and in the sharing of your love, we are blessed. Hugs ... CayCay FAV 7 Darren White February 19, 2017 at 11:26 PM Of course you cross my mind! HUGS to you, all three of you, and give my love to Kyle, thanks for 7 and fav :)

CayCay Godwin February 19, 2017 at 9:53 PM I have watched the cursor blink, my mind unable to grasp any of the emotions rolling and soaring in me at this moment. To say I am touched is an understatement. There is an ethereal beauty to this that is a caressing and caring touch from across the ocean, yet a touch, untouched by distance. I am awed. Just saw your message. Kyle's asleep, but tomorrow he'll be right here, on this page and I know he'll be smiling. Going to Part 2 Darren White February 19, 2017 at 11:25 PM CayCay :) I am so happy you found it, I wasn't sure if you had internet access, or possibility to :) I hope Kyle loves it too!

Kim Rodrigues February 18, 2017 at 9:46 AM Very nice, Darren! Darren White February 18, 2017 at 9:49 AM Kim, thank you!

Michael Coy February 18, 2017 at 9:14 AM This is strangely moving, Darren. I say strangely, because there's far more feeling in the poem than the words seem to bear. But then, that's practically the definition of poetry itself, isn't it? Darren White February 18, 2017 at 9:19 AM Michael, you've absolutely nailed that. I am writing this for a Poetry Soup friend, and I am deliberately keeping ot 'woolly' :)

Richard Lamoureux February 18, 2017 at 9:02 AM A great declaration. Darren White February 18, 2017 at 9:07 AM Thank you, Richard :)
