interstice



Go somewhere that you’ve never been
somewhere between now and then.
It’s nowhere really, no place at all
just lolling in the land of when.

It’s the place you want to be
when everything seems wrong.
A place beyond the dreams you’ve lost
I beg you come along.

I want to spend my yesterdays
and my tomorrows too
cocooned in this lost land of mine
safe in this place with you.

So come with me and go away
to this land that no one knows
And I’ll hold you close and sing you songs
and write our love in prose.

Author notes

Well I don't know how well I did on this one.  My word made me think of a place that was in between.  Not two places so much as here and there.  I think because I was thinking of the word intersect… but not precisely.  I thought it sounds like a good place to hide from all the bad stuff, right there in that spot.  LOL

This challange was to write a poem about a word but the catch was; you can't know the definition.  I knew what my first word meant, so this was the second one I was given.

    I cant say i know what the word means but I will be sure to look it up. whatever the meaning you wrote a wonderful piece of poetry and I liked the way you presented the word. I like the idea od tis place you described and I loved the way it was written and rhymed. I particualrly liked the ideas
    "I want to spend my yesterdays
    and my tomorrows too"
    That was a rally clever idea and a really nice image to add to the fantasy. Nice work x

    Absolutely gorgeous! Like the moment in mid-air at the bottom of a waterslide. Exactly. And fantastic rhyme scheme. ^^

    Thanks so much for entering!

    Great job. I was there for a short time until I finished reading then snapped back to reality. Thank you for the trip. I will return from time to time if you don't mind.
