This Time

[mmaria]

Stay here now
now when the river of love
has grown up to my soul
now when you have planted
flowers in the desert
and watered them with the rain
of your brightness and beauty

Stay here
on this unreal sea
stay with me now
when my eyes are fixed at you
when my arms
are happily stretching for you
for you have filled
a part of my space and time

Stay here like a star
that richly lights the entire sky
there are more poems to be written
more dreams to be dreamed
maybe we’ll make it with love
this time

[PrinceMyshkin]

That hanging last half-line is so eloquent!

[Lokasenna]

That's very beautiful. I agree with Prince, the last line works extremely well.

[blazeofglory]

This poem has a beauty. All lovers start with this aspiration.

They want someone to heal their wounds, fill their cups of desires, satisfy their wishes.

But do they go the way aspirants want them to go in reality.

I doubt but in poetry of course they do. There is no doubt.
