I have always lived in the moment <br />never worried about the future <br />never questioned the past <br /> <br />'You' <br />have turned a page in the book-of-life. <br /> <br />Soliloquy <br /> <br />Applause <br /> <br />I have excavated your existence from a concrete floor in the <br />out-house of my mind wearing a stained dress <br />of Golden thread, with one desire to bring you home. <br /> <br />My acid fears and burning tears spilled on Naked ground, <br />my shattered heart still beating Blood as I drilled without a sound <br />the cracks they came a creaking as I was on my knees, <br />I felt the earth beneath me t'was then I heard you breathe. <br /> <br />With eyes as bright as spot-lights to search the living Dead! <br />I dug my fingers deep into this Room inside my head <br />Frantic was my tool of choice its all I have to offer <br />you are worth your 'wait' in gold like I know...No Other. <br /> <br />I saw your hand reach out to me I Grabbed it with my mouth- <br />my lips a grip... a Mothers 'tale' the gate-way past the hounds. <br />Not a word was spoken, <br />no praise or criticize <br />a mission just to clarify your unseen ultra-sound? <br /> <br />I looked at you this morning, <br />you studied me in quest <br />that begged the question who are you? <br />and why you quietly left <br />I'v never liked my shadow <br />for I was only two... when you escaped...but no one sees I found myself in you. <br /> <br />My words to you this new born day, are for eyes-and-ears alone <br />No matter what your purpose is your blessed that you were born. <br />I made my bed this evening, and lie in it I shall <br />no covers here but fearless needs, in the birth of life's canal.<br /><br />Martina Moriarty<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-day-before-you-came/
