Poem written from OPV to Alex.
There were things I wanted to say to you
There were things I wanted to say to you
Words that would fill volumes
Expressions only conveyed in the company of gestures
Words that expand the mind
The way breath fills the body
Languid words…words to cherish
Words like swallowing bits of glass
Utterances that slice the very heart of the listener
the "Listener"
Always only wanting that listener to be you
To say to you the things of pain
That your very existence brings to me
Like you being gravel in the burning sun
That I must crawl upon eternally
Seeing the coolness of the sea stretching before me
All about you…only about you
Words of beauty…words of honesty
For the first time ever spoken by me
The molten feelings I feel
The dreams I once had
But realize now will never be fulfilled
By me…for me
The nightmares I've lived
The daydreams that died
The past forever wanting the attention of your audience
Because somehow I have no prior existence now that I've met you
The words that flowed
Like a torrent spring river
That have as late been distilled and funneled
And so having been confined in my mind
Have slowed to a mere trickle
Next a drip and finally vapors
So that I remain silent in you my listeners presence
A presence which has no hope of a future
But, oh, the things I wanted to say to you…to you
