I know your way

emorywolf3

“I know your way,
when pressed
you leave.
this no more unexpected
than you sinking into the shadows of the city,
or going completely silent
in a middle of a conversation,
lost in thought.

“I watch from a distance,
with respect.
Though I’d like to cross the street
To stand beside you
And see what you see.
I wonder what battles you’ve fought
to make it here.
After a somewhat more difficult life,
you are aware they will lie;
and that their lies will serve themselves,
not you.
So one dream alone can reveal your grief,
Or your ecstasy. “

Waiting

emorywolf3

How many times have I waited
here at this spot
playing with the links in the chain
spinning it around
pulling it through the poles,
seeing how much I can pull to me.

Silently you kiss me
your breathe tastes of smoke and beer.
Can you really see the air?
You could be looking at nothing
but air.
This silence
this wondering
I fear the pain you are causing yourself.

How many times I’ve wanted to leave
let you come to this spot
like you do each day
and wait
for an hour a year
in your silence.

Trees

emorywolf3

There’s an owl,
just outside my window,
in the trees.
Her claws firmly fastened onto a branch;
moonlight reflects thro’ her feathers.

Should I be so bold,
to ask her to rest upon my arm?
Would I dare?

There’s a street corner
I can stand on
Shout
And over-react,
As the headlights reach thro’ the darkness.

I can think of a few things to say.
