fashionably late

fashionably late

 

 

the dark red moon

in a cold suggestive moment

serendipitous feelings

 

i don't know you yet,

but think i see your face

 

in that crimson glow of sky

and now understand why

 

i've waited

for one more day of longing

to eclipse my heart.

Awww.. this melted me Jacob! profusely romantic and with a gentleman's touch!
Love that idea of eclipses of waiting.

What a gorgeous title dressing the poem!

this one really appeals to my incurably romantic heart.

i truly believe there is one person out there for each of us who is REALLY the right one. and we know we have found that one person when we realize why it's never worked out with anyone else, and we see that our heart has been eclipsed by all other relationships while we awaited the right one.

ahhhh, love....

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you, rubie..i knew you might relate to this one.

Wow! I think something like this is going on with me now. Marcy but I still don't know.

You really know how to transcend romantic notions!

I love this piece
something so elegant about the way you seem to find love
Your soul devoted to the word

It really comes through

No kindness
honest truth
i am like the Beatles fan waiting by your page for new work :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for that....wow, i remember when they came out (the Beatles) and how we all waited for their next two sided hit to hit the airwaves---or their newest album, and to hear all the cuts from it....at least with poetry there aren't the screams...and we can at least read and hear the words!
but again, thanks...smiling here.

[B]

i scream lol
you just cant hear me now can you ??
lol
I love the beatles

[jacob erin-cilberto]

did you ever see "across the universe"?
i imagine so...but if not...strongly suggest.

[B]

No i didnt
but i will :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

if you love the Beatles...you will most likely love this film...it has become my favorite...i show it to my classes...and they get crazy about it....many of them buy it after seeing it in class...even the ones who weren't Beatles fans to start with.

[B]

I will watch it
I am intrigued now
you teach ?

[....................]

the promise of a new love, a new season or a new poem is oft' times worth waiting for, be it the single, the Earth or the poet...love it

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you, FT.

It's a long wait indeed to gather the longing in under the light of the dark red moon - but sounds as if it is worth the wait. There are those times when it is better to take things slow, though the blood might be getting a bit hotter. 'Tis better to be fashionably late than totally without a date!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

so true, thanks for the smile, Sheila...
