My Twentieth Year - 13. "Dwight"

Poem No. 32

 

"Dwight"

 

When subtle things move behind a smile

beckoning for a chance all the while

but still unsure is he

who thinks, but wonders what could be

behind the cheerful expression that's grave

a fantasy to treasure and save

 

When subtle things move behind happy eyes

that try to hide deeper things by disguise

but leave looks to remember

as calling cards from the lender

visions I dare not think be true

imaginings of immensities misconstrue

 

"I am very confused to meet you"

when your eyes speak before they let you

when your smile denotes something special

that I can approach at the same level

am I to act on subtle clues of hope

or should I stop and give up any hope?

Oh, how can I catch up on reading when you keep leaving me gems in my path to see anew? What chance, what indecision in meeting Dwight...it's as if the whole thing has me holding my breath, and wondering...beautiful.

Thank you for your lovely review, Parker. Catching up is hard, I know from experience, so that you stopped and made a generous comment on my poem touches me. Thanks once again.

AC this is a love poem. It is beautiful, sweet, full of angst and longing and desire. I was praying you'd say hello to Dwight, so he knew what you felt...

Just a wonderful poem.

Thank you, Tim. Dwight and I played a game, and we both never comfortable taking the next step. Sad to think we didn't, but so it goes.

 

Thanks for a great review.
