No Wait In Vain : Poets Meet
For decades I waited
and you did not come
to listen to my rude insertion
finger a sound at the back of
my throat and the vibration
of my name
For decades I wanted to
meet a small mountain as
I read her plain words in
innocence
bells in her Heart rang deep
with children running sweet
For decades I longed to touch
a struggling moth as he ached
for new wings
smooth ebony cheeks
passionate with letters
of adoration
For decades I watched for
a painter to mirror my songs
uncover a talkative witch
who still trampled from
place to place
broken shoes echoing
my silent breath
For decades I wanted a
smooth ride where conversation
was free of tasks and
words on both seats of
equal length with apricots
for the scoffing
chocolates wrapped in red
So I upped my thumb to
the veteran one who read
from his leathered collection
notepads, pencils strewn about
space in the warehouse oozed
slivered glee
No wait in vain !
