Laura Breidenthal Poet Free verse

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

Justin Bordner September 10, 2016 at 2:18 AM 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. Laura Breidenthal September 10, 2016 at 3:47 AM Thanks Justin. I am a parched soul as of late.. I often thirst for things beyond my control.. <3~Laura
