Hourglass

[drippingmind]

I used to drift with the
changing seasons, and I
saw you there-

while the hourglass
kept its staccato drips- not
long before you showed me how

to dance with the sacred rhythms

that held my soul captive.

I was there- as

the hourglass counts the

passing moments .

Patiently, I watched
as your shadow intently looked
over rubbles and stained fragments-

moments left behind by the

present that never stops.
I felt the raging
breath of your soul-
consumed with blaze of
desire so intense- to recapture
the splendor once imprinted on
the face of an emblem-
now, faded.

Believe that I have
been there, like the grains of
sand in the hourglass- eternally drifting
with you- in every turning point of
the changing seasons.

NOTE:

"Poetry can be a "means" as well as an art- (reminds me of something that I read about poetry being not practical and useful, which i regard as otherwise. I just can't recall the exact article..) Admittedly, I have been guilty of using this medium "selfishly" sometimes- like "sending messages"- by throwing my thoughts to the wind or, like writing a letter to an old friend- especially when one is in doubt, confused, or troubled- and the communication lines doesn't seem to be accessible, :-)...there goes my poetic ramblings for today, :-)"

thanks, jc :-)- just some musings- some sort of "message in a bottle" kind, lol~

Well, was just contemplating about now fine and fragile the thread of communication and agreement in understanding between humans, sometimes- how differences of contexts affects 'the giver"-as well as "the receiving end"- how sometimes, one's chosing apparently becomes a "concern" for another- which might easily become an unconscious way of stepping on to another person's shoes already- .. uhh, am just rambling here, lol!:-)

communication sometimes gets misplaced
even among the stars

Wonderful write Jane...
sometimes we are all too caught up in the past I think -- raging over what was while the precious moments slip by.

Your assertion of support... of being there in all those times was I think comforting... I particularly liked that part:

LOL! Hi JC, let me see...
... Okay. :-) I was contemplating about relationships in general- and how strong essential factors fit into the picture- when I think about it, even in challenging circumstances like having disputes, misunderstanding,etc.- one single thing seem to be a constant factor...and that is love- people get hurt, learn to hate something, want to get away from something, because of loving- of caring too much...
