You are no more than concrete
than smoke and mirrors,
tempest in a teapot
reading leaves
palms
golden globe.

Would be nice to see the future
wonder what i would nurture.
A presence from the past
lover from the future.

I hold an empty heart
whose needs should be fulfilled,
is there such a person?
I don't run away from love.

Just wait for it to come along
perhaps i ask too much,
only ask for a life
with a little bit of fun.

Al - this is such a sad piece. We all have high hopes when it comes to love - perhaps we all ask too much - but then, to accept 2nd-best is to not really have lived. The words ' I hold an empty heart ' struck me as particularly heart-wrenching - in my mind's eye it was as though you were cradling it, nursing it.

Beautiful.

I hope you will not mind me commenting, new as I am, but I have to say, this is a moving piece. It captures the sense of lonliness and longing for romantic love so well. I also like sence of rythm it has.

strange how we each see something differnet in a piece i see tongue in cheek humour and a degree of resignation but more of a fatalists approach to life.

I like it

take care
