To long for 6 am

 

 

 

 

 

I can't tell an hour,

since I emptied the night

from red the other day - 

     but still,

     I find myself

     tossing words into the sky

     as if they were constellations.

 

 

         (Yes, somewhere stuck in time,

          there is an answer

          as easy as embracing.)

 

 

Till then: 

 

   My eyes -

     staggering stalactites of dreams

       to reflect the glow

         I hope to catch in yours;

 

   My mouth -

     a hesitant hive of dragonflies

       to hum you a musical

         of kisses and pillow talk;

 

   My fingers -

     factitious feathers

       cherishing the pureness

         of your skin;

 

   My heart -

     looking forward

       to your 6 am again.

 

 

         (Oh yes, sometimes

          it definitely is morning.)

    The morning is the best time of the day.
    Its when you can wake up to complete silence.
    That bit of quiet is heavenly.

    Spelling: definitely not definately! As in finite not finate. 6am has always been too early for poets in any case; maybe a bit late to go to bed though.

    So like to be honest, I really just clicked on your poem because it reminded me of what time I have to be to work most mornings and I didn't really expect much, because I hate getting up that early...but anyway, I was actually rather impressed by the style and the grace of your poetry and I hope that you do continue to keep writing because I can personally relate to this in some way and I cannot say that for too many of the other people whose poetry I have read on here. So good job and peace.

    (I hope that I did not trouble you with my comment.)
