Where are you today, not with me not here
I feel you, phantom arms pressing me close with words
Whispered, telling me soon and love
Patience is not my virtue, you tell me to wait, learn
I don’t muse the bed at night, alone
The sheets stay cool, the covers barely crumpled
Dreams though tell a different story
Rolling my reticence and turning me wanton
How did this happen, in the spaces of my heart and mind
Places once darkened now burst with light
My soul captured, it dances across spaces between us
With words and pictures to seal us
With each yes, my spirit flows toward you welcoming
Did you know, I had searched and was afraid
You pushed me to run I was already yours
Stroking my fears instead I gave you my secrets
Binding us, invisible chains stretch across miles
You tell me not to question kismet
I have already put my all in fates hands and yours
While I wait for you I will sit in Lavender
Wishing for patience and remembered dreams
Valentine, 5-June-2014
Stroking my fears instead I gave you my secrets… I know a little about this.
You have a thing with words, Valentine. 🙂
And I too love Lavender.
Thank you, Lyrical. I love words, I always hope the resonate with someone. I am happy you recognize something in them.
Hope you are doing well. Lavender is the best, I just planted more this weekend.
Can you believe I’m allegeric to lavender so if you don’t mind, I have you sitting in a field of poppies 🙂
Oh no, allergic to Lavender? How horrible is that? I love sitting in my Lavender, it smells so good and it’s so beautiful. But for you I will sit in Poppy fields.

Longing, so beautifully expressed Valentine. You are good! 🙂
Ah, I blush. Thank you so much Madhu. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your words of support.
Fate – strange is it not how the hand writs – borrowed from my favourite poet, Omar Khayyam.
“In fate’s hands and yours” – cupped with love 🙂
Beautiful, it is strange how emotions conjure images across time.
How wonderful!
Thank you so much.
Love the closing,
“While I wait for you I will sit in Lavender
Wishing for patience and remembered dreams”
