Come Back
by Steve BabaIs there a reason why I
Miss you so much?
The leaves are turning
Orange and red, fall
Is here and I am still alone
Without you,
I sip my coffee and watch
The fish swim back and
Forth in the translucent
Water, my heart beats slowly
As it waits for you
To come back to me.

| Posted by Katerina T Nix on 01/28/07 at 08:08 PM I really enjoyed this piece, Steve. I like how you've compared the boring everyday things that we do with the unstoppable yearning that one can feel for another. A nice juxtaposition here -Kat :) |

| Posted by Doreen Cavazza on 05/04/11 at 01:02 AM Haunting and sad. A piece that many can relate to--the feelings are clear here. Time has a different feel when we're waiting. I like this. |
