cometh not the beloved
moments tread slowly
intoxications
phantasmagorias
reach the truth slowly
a journey of notes
through the 'jazz fantasias'
finds a song slowly
..............................
in transit
.. love letters
to the heartbroken

['jazz fantasia': a poem by carl sandburg]
Oooh, these were delicious! I have tasted the slow realization that my beloved would not be coming. It was bittersweet.
ReplyDeleteTime does beat ever so slowly as we await the arrival of a loved one and there is deep sadness when that does not happen...I enjoyed this poem.
ReplyDeleteI read this over and over to hear the music of the lines and enjoy the music despite the sadness of the realization. The music is a balm.
ReplyDeleteYou struck a nerve here ... I love it when something sad can be said so beautifully, one forgets the sadness.
