Poet Tacito Poet Free verse

In This Moment

I implore for vulnerable salvation
As time tries to convince me
It will never happen

I wander through cobblestone streets to find balance.
Wishing upon wishes to feel a new tenderness

And I hope to become more than a glorified lyric
Where love only remembers the chorus
But, not the beginning
Nor the end

How will this new sunrise
Convince me that my smile WILL be above sedentary clouds
When the storm has yet to subside?

Can I be the winds for those who have broken my wings?

Will I ever become a consummated verse with another?
...
My smile
Will find its way

Oh, my smile...will find its way.

Laura Breidenthal March 31, 2018 at 2:56 AM The first thing I thought of when reading your opening lines was the "Sound of Silence" song.. "in restless dreams I walk alone, the narrow streets of cobblestone" ..there is a melancholic feel to this one, I like it a lot. "And I hope to become more than a glorified lyric Where love only remembers the chorus" Love those lines... sometimes a simple smile can get us through. Sending smiles your way! Awesome poem! Always, Laura Poet Tacito March 31, 2018 at 6:11 PM Ooooh, nice song! Your smiles & kind words are truly appreciated. Thank you so-so much, Laura!
