As You Wish

HEY!!!
here's a poem.

As You Wish

And so it's a beautiful day in Tuscaloosa...
So why can't I see it?
It's because my mind is where you are...
I've spent so many hours(days,months,years)
thinking of what you might be seeing,
hatefully jealous of whoever it is
you're seeing it with.

Darling,
where are you hiding?

Tears seem to be attracted to my eyes
much like heavy magnets,
stuck, but destined
to fall.
Words,
(that I would use to bring you to me faster)
have not found this attraction.
It seems that they are
not aware of me, my
guilt and obvious need are obviously
not
obvious enough.

In dreams I am tormented by
possible forms,
(my brain is eager to assign your eyes a curve, a color, a smile)
but as soon as I am awake
I forget even the imposters.

(If I can't hold you, I would settle for your likeness,
protected by gloss.)

Where ever you may be,
I can feel how protective of me you are.
You know me better now,
than I will ever know myself in the future
(and this includes my weaknesses)
aand for that,
my love is owed to you in the heaviest measure.

My sword is sheethed in a finer
metal than its body,
etched with memories of you
that I have yet to grasp.
In battle,
it is quick to find destraction from this conquest,
and quickly end its life,
cutting in precise angles.

Its role as weapon will cease
on the day it is laid at your feet
as tribute to the promise.

But still,
I am smitten by your eminent beauty,
racing toward me as sure as
forgiveness.


And that is why I wait.



Good Providence
