Another poem has been chosen for publication by Forward Poetry. Set to be published in September, "Where are you?" will be included in the anthology Aspects of Love: A Collection of Poetry.
This particular piece was completed and self-published on this blog on Valentine's Day 2011.
"Where are you?"
[Poem XVIII]
Where are you?
What, at this moment, do you do?
Do you think of me?
Do you think of me as I do of you?
Are your dreams also filled with the same things you wish were true?
How does the sky above appear to you?
Does it speak to you of love, or make you cry?
Perhaps it seeks to make you sigh?
It takes me away, that much I can say,
To places where I can wonder, as I often do of your face:
Moments that can tear me asunder.
And the fear, through the years, has not been quite absent;
But always present, even if at times out of mind, is regret,
My closest friend who lets me never forget;
Who, true-blue, will make all this a tale without end,
Subsisting gratuitously—or maybe graciously?
Is it I who insists on this? Do I wish it to continue?
Because it has been you?
Will always be you?
I would much like that I knew for certain,
That the haze raised, this heavy curtain before me.
M.M. — September MMX; Februarius MMXI
