I'll Wait

~ to be in love with a poet...or is it the poetry...~

art ~  Tamara de Lempicka

 

 

~~~

Tonight

When the moon beckons and the stars wink

and the curtains sway in the midnight breeze…

 

I’ll wait

 

for a whisper of the words you weave,

a serenade of all that is love

to slip through the sky in poetic colors of romance

and tiptoe softly across my pillow

capturing my heart

as I dream

only

of

you...

 

Tonight

Across the ages the night sky has been looked up to for inspiration and solace. A place where we expect to find heaven and those who wait for us. A metaphore for a life that is looking up perhaps. The mystery of the stars draws us to gaze and dream. A freedom we cannot expect to achieve.
Another wonderful piece of writing.

I truly enjoyed the images you conjured up for me, the curtains swaying in the midnight breeze was especially moving, and ending with the single word "Tonight" was simple yet strong.

interesting question you raised in your description..

it's a lovely poem...and there is so much romance in the idea of loving a poet...but is that what we love or is it the poetry itself.
because we often ask the question, can we separate the artist from the paintings, or the poet's real life persona from the persona in the poetry?
arthur rimbaud was not a poet to love, he was a scum...but his poetry, beautiful....
so do we separate..and which do we really love?

good question raised here Julie.

[MsJewel]

It's a question I've been asking myself for quite some time...
I'm thrilled you enjoyed this one Jacob. Have a lovely day my friend :) Julie
