Narrative Symmetry

Unknown Photographer


Night falls
with orchestral precision.

We sit in the shadows, listening
to the rain outside our window
crash for a distant audience.

And you say, like you have,
so many times before,
Waiting is beautiful.
Is that not so?

But that is your story.
I have my own:

Awake at night,
my fingers tangled
inside my hair,

I wait for you.

Time slices
my longing into
a thousand fragments.

I save them all.

GROS GROS BISOUS et très belle fin de semaine, ma belle Nevine****

ps: je suis une grosse vilaine et je n'ai toujours pas répondu à ton mail!!! J'ai trouvé un remplacement à faire dans un collège à 35km de chez moi et je n'ai pas vu la semaine passer;o)

Nevine Sultan said...

...hello Nevine, an extraordinary poem dictated by a smart look and thy desire who want to live every moment of time that inexorably leads them away with him, left them in the room of memories. Acute reflection. A sincere hug .. :-)

So lovely, Nevine. Waiting is agony.

I wish I could post comments on your other blog, the naked light. I loved the last post there! Silence is eloquence.

My dear Betty, it's so lovely to see you here! Thank you for the very kind words; they are deeply appreciated. I hope you're enjoying a delightful week. I'll swing by soon. Big hugs back! :-)

Nevine Sultan said...

Thank you, Sergio. Your thoughts about my poetry are always meaningful and profound. I really appreciate that. You are a gem. A hug back to you! :-)

Nevine Sultan said...

Thank you, Jai. Yes, waiting is most certainly agony. And thank you, also, for your comments on my post on the naked light. I closed comments there shortly after I started that blog... and then never really thought to turn back. It just felt more right. Maybe one day I'll take that back and reopen comments. We'll see... Again, thanks!
