Longing for Presence

Longing for Presence

A Poem by James K. Blaylock

Longing for Presence

 

I'm here, just staring deeply toward

your kindest spirit, and wondering

 

if ever I spoke-up would you hear it

or were you too far gone to listen...

 

could everything be somehow different

if we'd hugged when that was what was meant,

 

but I'm left talking to walls where nothing matters,

and still I'm lonely for you to come or merely beckon

I'm actually feeling very lonely and sad tonight, so good time for me to read this, I'd say. I'm missing someone I feel is kinda ignoring me as well. Very true to my feelings. Great write (as always). Just so you know, your poems are very hard to review. lol. They're always, short, satisfying, poignant, and complete. No constructive critisism, so at the risk of repeating myself, I repeat myself and say the same things about how they're perfect and relateable rather than, talk about the cool imagery and limited length... In case you haven't noticed. ;)
