for your love
by Vere Mantratriadsometimes, not all times,
I stop and wonder
where you wander
when the corners
of your lips crease
and I can see the time
passing by over your brow
sometimes, not all times,
I stop and I follow
where you wander
trying to see
what may be a glimpse
of what it could be like
deep inside of your skull
sometimes, not all times,
I stop and I catch
where you wander
flashes of your lifetime
speeding in blow by blow
skittering through rearviews
in your mind's eyelids
sometimes, not all times,
I stop and I wait
where you wander
caught in a memory
wishing to relive your rewind
hoping to live inside
vying for your love 05/04/2006 Author's Note: title from Lori Blair

| Posted by Elizabeth Jill on 05/05/06 at 04:24 AM I've felt this same way (sometimes, not all times, heh!) and the way you brought me in with the 1st verse was powerful.
Brilliant walk in the mind of a wonderer.

Beautiful piece of work, full of emotions. Love can be something else at times. keep up the good works. |
| Posted by Junemarie Roldan on 07/03/06 at 04:23 AM I'm writing this through my tears Vere. Thank God this is not on paper or it would be pretty much soaked. Suffice it to say that this write seems to me a tenderly painful plea for a love at least as great as yours. Many have been or are in the same position. Small comfort I know. I say this with love, never settle for less, ask nothing less than all. We all deserve that. Congratulations on what seems to me, your master piece so far, I haven't read all your work yet, but I will. |
