My newest adventure is underway. It has lead me to take up residency in a new blog,

3 Last Call: Longing for Someone




Longing for Someone

she weeps 
silent tears
drenched 
in hollow fears
clinging to the hope
that someone hears

weep with me until every last tear is
wrung from your dehydrated body

she walks
lonely streets
tarred
with groundless deceits
praying for someone
to know her foot beats

walk with me until the soles of your
shoes are stripped raw to the bone

she wails 
anguished refrains
saturated 
in hardened pains
wishing that someone
might pick up her chains

wail with me until your lungs can no
longer bear the fire searing their walls

she waits
for peace

if you could just weep with me
(to) wipe away her tears

if you could just walk with me
(to) sync with her foot beats

if you could just wail with me
(to) release her chains

you might just set me free



In search of inspiration, I have turned once again to a pom seed (x3).  This is the second collection of three pom seeds turned poem.  And interestingly enough, they both have the same dual voice thingy going on.  Also, the first (When They Come) included a recording with a little audio toying.  This one I took a step further to include overlap in the stanzas....what fun!

This is my offerings for the dVerse Poets Pub OpenLinkNight.  If you get a chance, check out all of the talented poets who have stepped up into the spotlight.

  2. Love the sounds and the rhythms of the echoed voice answering the need. A perfect duet and a most wonderful poem.

  3. Would make a great song lyric. Must be a blues though.
