Till I See You Again

It's funny how the world appears when you are missing someone desperately

Till I see you again

By Jack Ivey

 

Going for broke

In the wake of the city

Playing a card

That I’m not sure will win

Draping the towel

Off the edge of tomorrow

Nothing is real

Till I see you again

 

Calling a name

As if someone will listen

Drawing a line

On the face of the sand

Painting a scene

With a little commotion

Nothing is real

Till I see you again

 

Long ago traits

On the ocean are waiting

Different dreams

As the record does spin

Candle lit thoughts

Through my mind they are streaming

Nothing is real

Till I see you again

 

Daffodil days

Of a challenging color

Envelope tears

Sitting firm on the rim

Traffic light sundaes

All lit to perfection

Nothing is real

Till I see you again

 

Dixie cup pages

Of water logged fiction

Ocean side picnics

In spite of the whim

Clouded by croutons

Now tossed on the salad

Nothing is real

Till I see you again

 

Follow these words

With their character meaning

Read with your eyes

At the heart of the stem

Scattering rhymes

Just to tell you I love you

All will be real

When I see you again

Love this. What emotions that are told with wonderful words used here jumping out you. You feel the pain as if not being with the one you love. Simply dancing in the rain fab and something I would have fun writing too, lol.

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much

[BlackRose]

Draping the towel
Off the edge of tomorrow ooh ooh ooh, Love that line. Also Daffodil days, and dixie cup pages. Those little bursts of metaphor that make this poem jump out and grab a person and bring him/her to that point of emotion. There are so many people I miss - but I haven't ever captured the emotion so eloquently. Nicely penned.

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much. This was a fun one to write.

Ahhh sweet Jack.......such a powerful spill, this touches.........love the affirmation and strength in the close.....there is a *pause* in life that won't allow us to push that "fast forward" button......we hover there in thoughts and memories, and look forward to the next chance we are given to hold them close to us..... you've melted my heart, yet again... I always feel like I'm walking beside you through your words....

[Jack...]

Thank you so much, Dear Angel. Your words always ignite a flame in my heart.
