Untitled as of yet

missing someone

written the eve of May 16, 2012

 

 

I just wish he would talk to me

Guess they got married

Not something I could do

            No

I’d fall apart from the memories

            that would fill the sacred space

Between me              and            you

 

My black cat knows my soul

            is drifting

And he brings me a ball

            and cries out                        until

I am brought back to my land of today

 

            Crying

 

Hoping tomorrow will bring me luck

 

I’m just doing what I always do...

            entertaining

I’m still the jester

            puttin’ on the smiles for anyone

and everyone

who wants to collect some

 

    But it’s yours that I miss

 

and you look into my eyes

            only through a picture

and instantly mine fill with tears

            of the yesterdays I can’t correct

                 of the today that is still missing you

   of the tomorrow where I will be

            smiling            laughing

 

     but still longing

 

for the day I can hear your voice

            again

 

and feel at peace

I am not sure if you titled this poem "Untitled as of yet" on purpose or you are yet to figure out one, but it kind of inspires a feeling very different from what your poem suggests...
The expression of wait has been brought out beautifully !!!
Free verses do offer new horizons ... and I have to say you explored quite a bit ...
Nice, risky bit of work :)
