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
A bell 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
Discover 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 and pencils strewn about
Space in the warehouse oozed slivered glee
No wait in vain !
