For Mark
It was your eyes
Their sparkle made me just a little nervous.
That night all we did was talk
finding shelter in the antisocial light of the computer screen.
We spoke of dial up and downloading and black clouds and the
War of the Sexes and all the time I sat fascinated by the
laughter in your eyes.
That night was a joyride for me.
In front of you there was no need to feel beautiful but
somehow I did anyway.
I was happy and I wanted to
hold on to the feeling.
In the weeks that followed I
loved every minute with you
ached every minute without you.
It’s getting
stronger
deeper
more frightening with every passing exchange between us. I lay awake at night wonder
Where are you?
What are you doing?
whether you think about me half as much as I think about you.
So many feelings bubble and collide between my rational brain and my unreasonable heart.
Sometimes it’s happiness for I
still can’t believe you’re a part of my life.
Sometimes it’s fear
What the hell is this feeling??? I was
never capable of it before.
Sometimes it’s sadness
Eighteen years of a gap between us I won’t ever be able to
touch your heart.
Sometimes it’s anger
at myself, at you.
You don’t understand, I’m
losing my mind over this
emotional hurricane you’ve caused.
I can’t believe you and
I can’t believe me for
giving in to the warmth and not forcing my
heart to do as I tell it.
Sometimes it’s all these things, but there’s
always love
never lust just
yearning for the understanding you provide.
I long for it
hope for it
love all of it and
have it when you’re around.
Is it wrong?
Will it change?
Do I want it to change?
The only time it was ever clear was the day I stepped out of the shower after
a night such as this with the
questions still throbbing in my mind and I
looked at the blurred clouded mirror and
traced your name in the steam.
For a brief moment I
understood that something
had to be said from
me to you.
So I went and
wrote you this poem
because I didn’t want it to sound cliché when I finally got the courage to say that
I loved you.

Dear B D G,
Thanks for taking the time to read my Unanswered Letter.
I thought I'd return the favor and find out something about
you, and what you are doing as far as writing is concerned.
This poem, "For Mark", is well written and beautifully formatted. It gives the poem a little "pizzazz"!
I can see you are about as new here as I am, and I want to wish you luck, and most of all, have fun!
I have lived here in Las Vegas for the last 23 yrs, but I originally am from Brooklyn, NY. I lived there 33 yrs.
Again, thanks for your comments on my poem!
Take care and good luck on your quest to go to NYU.
Much Happiness,
John-Las Vegas, Nevada
