"Someday Words"
@Uootem
another poetic discourse
I create for you
with the same fervor
that once was explored
as someday words
as they took shape
across one blank page,
and then another
gradually revealing
those things
I once believed I would rather hide,
between sips of coffee
and careful reflection
of the time-filtered visions
of your inner beauty,
rarely seen... but now,
that fill the emptiness
of this - a fresh page...
my mind... my memories...
my lifetimes.
someday words
forged from the dreams
of a once-ago boy,
echoing futile hopes
of a love-lost
within the present day
would-be prophet,
and recreating
the now-sacredness
of a remembered past time...
the dreams, hopes,
and sacred thoughts
frolic comfortably together
as a silence finds me.
for in this silence,
the treasures of my life
crowd together
in piles of ink stained paper
and rows of words
fitted together,
once to be stored away
in dusty boxes
for review some other day:
perhaps for a book,
perhaps for just remembering,
but now.. to finally share
with you in our adulthood years.
their fate I did not understand...
but I now know that
they had to exist
for I had no control over
their crystallizing.
whether they were
just creations of make believe
that I did not recognize
or waiting-patiently-dreams
that will someday find fulfillment
I always continued
contriving verse
that sought to describe
the plaudits of once-found love...
the disparagement of love lost
for these emotions
still conjure
the spirits in the ink,
this babble
must be released
to keep my sanity
within reach
while I,
frequently cross
the distance of time
with my someday words.
