take a u-turn hereA Poem by c. bee11-5-18 // something i wrote within the last 20 minutes. kinda stream-of-consciousness. not very good but at least i'm writing.A moment, a day, a life to be seized Countless paths waiting to be covered in footprints unique to you Another day, another chance Another city, another world How many lips among the billions, begging for your kiss How many hearts saving a spot among the clutter for you alone And, decades from now, when you look back on this Just one moment of many Will you remember me Just one girl of many And the regret-filled autumn night you once wrote of Just one missed opportunity of many Will the creak of the swinging bench still be etched in your memory Or will the feel of my hand in yours Be lost amidst the many others Are we the ships Longfellow wrote of? Passing in the night Lost without a guiding light All at once inches and miles away And I can’t help but wonder What might’ve been, what must’ve been Had life taken a left turn instead of a right If the butterfly’s fragile wings have the thunderous potential of a typhoon Might our brush with ardor have that same effect In another time; in another dimension Because it’s not one-sided I dreamt of your slender fingers touching me the way they do the ivory keys Eliciting a song in an exact same but completely new way But you deserve a hurricane in the form of a girl And my heart’s too weary to summon more than a breeze © 2018 c. bee |
