Night Hope With Me

 



 

 

Now I’m not going to pretend
I even know this hope yet,
given that we just met, and
having experience in such matters
through many trial and much tribulation, I accept that.

 

However, this hope and I have already connected
on several planes- we are well
past the initial greetings and pleasantries,
exceptional in itself, and to be valued.

 

Where some would let it die at this point,
it appears that not to let this river flow
through its ever-winding course would only 
hinder obtaining peace and harmony and stir the turbulence of our souls.

 

Minds and hearts cast about for such a relationship
ever longingly, so do not let it go when it comes.

    A belated reply here, Dove... as for us, I chase her around with wild, reckless abandon, and she beats me off with library books! I hope things go well on your end...

    We're still speaking, if that's what you mean, Dove Touched... But considerin' the boy is somewhat attached, we are 'only' Friends...albeit, good ones... Wanda

    Found your poem in the archives while I was finding some examples of acrostic poems. I didn't think I would happen upon such a beautiful one. This reminds me of four years ago when my husband and I met online ( he was told a half hour ago at work what type of cancer he has)

    How did things turn out regarding this poem if you do not mind my asking?

    Thank you for your perspective, Lana, and simple and direct as it is, I hadn't viewed things that way- for I think I am the lucky one here...!

    Aw, this is such a beautiful acrostic. From the poems I have read by you, it seems you keep your AP friends and family very close to your heart. They are lucky to have a friend like you. This is beautiful, I hope your friendship keeps on growing.
    Take care

    I'l try this again...I tried to send it around 5 a.m., but the webserver was unavailable...long after it had backed up the work... bizarre...anyway...For some odd reason, I didn't get this reply in my IM's, Wayne...otherwise, I'd have run right back & commented again... My humor is a lil' 'out there', as well...you're probably safe with me... Thank you for adding the author's comment...& yeah, I know...a lot of people don't notice the acrostic portion when I do 'em, either...which, I'm told, is the sign of a good one... (hey, sounds good to me!!!) Ya might wanna consider putting 'acrostic' in the title, though...ya shouldn't have to, but...it simplifies things a bit... Thanks so much, my Friend...I'm glad I came back to read it again or I'd have missed this latest reply of yours...TTYL!!! Wanda

    Wanyee, this is a great acrostic with the excetion of the line 13? I believe that word is supposed to start with an H not and S but that is only a presumption and you know what they say about those.

    It's wonderful to read this piece about another relationship on AP. There are some wonderful people here and we connect with each of them on a different level and seems like you have connected with her on a few. Very touching my friend.

    Be Well and Be Blessed

    Woooooah!!!!!! I see my off-beat humor almost got me in trouble again, my hope in the night! OK, I will officially acknowledge you were the subject of this poem, and proudly state that fact in the author's comment, along with the fact that it is an acrostic, which has escaped everyone! (the sign of a good acrostic!) Hope I didn't hurt any feelings with my sometimes wayward attempts at humor... yes, Wanda, you were and are the hope in this poem!

    So are ya abdicating responsibility now??? Or trying to make me look foolish??? Hey, I don't need any help in that, ya know!!! I saw a feature 'Nighthope' by Whisper one night...clicked on it...'twas a bit erotic...I commented, 'Sir, I don't believe we've met'... Well, back pedal all ya like, Wayne...it's already on my list... I know; it's your humor again...that's cool...mine's a lil' macrame'd as well...we'll get along jus' fine, methinks... It's lovely & I am quite flattered...Thank you, Poet...
    P.S. It looks as though Molly has us headin' towards the altar already...roflmao I'm onery, by the way...

    Well, Molly, you are waxing ever more poetic even in your comments, or do I draw it out of you?!! I heard one of us won a trophy in that contest in which I wrote the companion piece to yours...

    Oh yes, while I remember, you wondered about my 'so you're a real person' comment- that was my crazy humor- you were supposed to laugh! You know how we have to 'imagine' the other person here on the Internet... well, seeing your picture made you 'real'... and great pic by the way!

    thank you, Imme, yes, the humorous me is always just under the surface, ready to screw things up! I'm sure there's one inside of you, too, so beware!

    This is a very beautiful sentiment from your heart, never give up on feelings that stir within you that are real. As you said about the hope and that others may have given up, you will stay the course of your heart and steer the reins more to see what may become, very nice and I hope the outcome is just as lovely and for your loving heart's expectations. A romantic tale of love yearing wanting his damsels affection. This warms my heart as many of your writes so. So very beautiful!!! Let the rivers of your desire rage and take you to her warm waters that flow for your touch!!!

    Well. Kind Sir. You have me sitting here a bit stunned & a lil' speechless. Indeed, quite an accomplishment, that, even for a former librarian. Of course, in my writing, I'm a lil' louder. Thank you so much for such a lovely poemy thing. It is a heartfelt penning, as is obvious. A well~written piece, of course, & a very thoughtful first dance with a relative stranger at that. I didn't stumble or step on your toes even once...& me with my rather large feet. I agree with you, both here & our previous discussion, that we make lasting Friendships both here in cyberspace & in 'real Life' (love how we set it off in quotations) ~ sometimes unaware that we are even doing so at the time. I've met people here that I would spend a large amount of time with. Some I'd rather talk to online more than anyone in my physical presence. I do not take these relationships lightly, as my Friends can attest to. It is heartening to see you do not, either. This is a wonderful poem, Wayne & I thank you profusely. We'll be talking a lot, methinks. Have a grand Sunday, my Friend... It appears that I shall, considering the thoughtful way in which you've helped me start my day. You're Good People, ain'tcha??? I believe God puts certain people in our Paths at certain times for a reason...I've seen it many times before...this Path shall not be overgrown. Wanda
