The Day Before You Came

A Poem by Rapturecapture

A Good Day...

I have always lived in the moment
never worried about the future
never questioned the past

'You'
have turned a page in the book-of-life.

Soliloquy

Applause

I have excavated your existence from a concrete floor in the
out-house of my mind wearing a stained glass dress
of Golden thread, with one desire to bring you home.

My acid fears and burning tears spilled on naked ground,
my shattered heart still beating blood as I drilled without a sound
the cracks they came a creaking as I was on my knees,
I felt the earth beneath me, t'was then I heard you breathe.

With eyes as bright as spot-lights to search the living dead!
I dug my fingers deep into this room inside my head
Frantic was my tool of choice its all I have to offer
you are worth your 'wait' in gold like I know...No Other.

I saw your hand reach out to me, I grabbed it with my mouth-
my lips a grip... a mother's 'tale' the gate-way past the hounds.
Not a word was spoken,
no praise or criticize
A mission just to clarify your unseen ultra-sound?

I looked at you this morning,
you studied me in quest
that begged the question who are you?
and why you quietly left
I'v never liked my shadow
I was only two... when you escaped...but no one sees
I found myself in you.

My words to you this new born day, are for eyes-and-ears alone
No matter what your purpose is your blessed that you were born.
I made my bed this evening, and lie in it I shall
no covers here but fearless needs, in the birth of life's canal
