Subject: musings on current love...

I don't know what this is loves, but I know me, and I know I need to write, even when I feel that I can't. So here is the best I can do at the moment. For lack of something brilliant, I am calling it "musings on current love" but really it is that, as well as 'musings over the fact that I am not mourning a past love', which I suppose is healthy. I just have had those feelings so long with me, it is odd to feel their absence now. Don't get me wrong, it is odd, but it is also very good. And perhaps that is part of my writers block, that things in fact are good... ::sigh:: Such is the oddness of my mind. As always I welcome thoughts or criticism.

musings on current love

It is one of those moments
both quiet and late;
pensive and dark
rain pouring down outside
low rumblings within and without
flashes in the night and mind.
I know that I am brooding
and I don't really care,
it makes my cravings more intense.
Craving a music that cannot be recorded,
the sight of an art
yet to be created,
conversation I am half of,
a moment of shared epiphany
amidts fuzzy logic and an empty bottle of wine.

In these moments
I usually ran to memories of past love
saying nothing else would come close
to comforting me now;
but what I really ran to
was solitude, no, to solitary.
The company of a pen and paper
to let the remaining healing happen...

And for the first time
I do not want the memory.
I want the moment,
this moment,
shared.
Not with the past
not with reveried heartache
but with your requited heart.
I want your hands near mine,
working, shaping this raw clay
into something greater...
It is your voice I want to hear
amidst this drowning storm,
waxing philisophical,
falling from sharp dialogue
into quiet discourse,
then to sleepy sighs in my ear.
And in your ears, oh yes,
I want to pour this,
drop by drop,
veiled in a potion of poetry;
this lingering and endless night,
these thoughts, brooding and overly intellectual,
this deeper craving I�m finally strong enough for,
this peace I have found, and
This love I am trying so hard to express.
