Well, no big post yesterday. There’s a reason for that too. I get the same number of comments for a short post as I do for a long post, and the long posts take forever to write.
Anyway, I did write something just now… didn’t really write it with the intention to post it, but i figured why not.
Note: It is probably not about you think it is.
So here it is:
“Wait.
Always wait.
Now is not the time.
It is never the time.
Hold back.
Restrain.
Consuming thirst builds.
It cannot be quenched.
The dryness, the absence of the water longed for,
Turns all around parched and barren.
Cracked skin.
Burns.
Pressing on despite it.
To wish to God that the water was unneeded.
To wish for God to send the rain.
A bleeding heart, wishing to be cared for.
Cracked and dry as the skin surrounding.
Lie face down, broken on the ground.
Every thought, every need, every desire open there.
Looking up into the face of the one,
The one who holds the water.
Eyes pleading, unable to speak.
Fainting under the incredible heat.
Eyes close.
And you, you say good night.
Always.
One day I will find you.”
“Note: It is probably not about you think it is.”
What is that, a ref to the Princess Bride? “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” LOL j/k
Then WHAT, prey tell, is it about?
NICE lyrics, by the way.
haha… thanks. 😉
No, no Princess Bride references here…. 🙂
I can’t tell what it’s about. Don’t get me wrong, surely you COULD figure out what it is about if you thought about it. Basically when I write stuff, almost all the time it has 3 levels to it: The apparent level, the “deeper meaning” level, and the personal level. The personal level is usually something that applies only to me, and nobody else would probably ever see that… unless I had had a big discussion with them about whatever it is or something… so.. yeah
I like the new pic…. It is yer best yet!
“one who waits”……….
patient Iarradair.
its a nice poem reesespieces 🙂
i see two things that it may be about… one as a ‘spiritual’ thing and another personal. tho’ what i see has been formed from circumstances in my own personal life, it could still very well be what you had in mind while writing.
BTW- AWESOME picture. it’s my favorite.
oooh i like it!
interesting…I am a poet of sorts as well..I like to write lyrics and poetry, but I don’t put it up because I think people will find it strange…So I put nothing of it up…But I think I know what you are trying to say on all the levels….as well as an interpersonal level…..something like between two people….but then again, I could be wrong…..I’ll be visiting this site regularly now to see new poetry and stuff like that……l8rs
