Don't leave me with a question
Where are the words I seek?
Desperate attempts to give you shape.
Don't leave me with a question.
In my world of eternal night,
you live only in my dreams. So,
where are the words I seek
to strip off your facelessness, to mold
lips for your kisses, hands for your caresses?
Don't leave me with a question.
I remember you, you I have yet to meet.
I, an empty well, a blank page cry,
"Where are the words I seek?"
I search for dreams where you live,
for a reality that holds you, where you
don't leave me. With a question,
I slowly breathe, afraid of the cold that
stays when with dreams you leave. Love,
where are the words I seek?
Don't leave me with a question.

you can't begin to imagine the perfect timing of this poem for me right now. thank you.
jromer~ I wish it was planned and intentional but alas, a universal machination I suppose! Glad it was of some use! I am flattered and humbled by that! Thank you!
Pia~ Thank you Pia... and very perceptive you are... yes,most of the work here is from an earlier Miz B... except for the piece titled San Francisco... I am quite impressed by you dear friend though I would have expected nothing less!
Quite beautiful and, thankfully, much better than any poetry I've ever written.
And this, seductive one, is why you will never be told to stop spinning your rhymes.
Another breathless moment you leave me with baby gur-rrl.
milagros y besos
Poobah~ Thank you oh Omnipotent One...
Lady~ El milagro lo eres tu y los besos te los mando yo chica! And gracias!
Lingo~ And you flatter me beyond belief... can I take you with me everywhere I go? Thank you and besos to my fave mamacita!
Beautiful mizzy, you are a poet.
Gentle and kind greetings to you, my beloved bohemian babe. (And hopes you won’t mind my not so shy requests.)
I make presence known to you here, and now, with a humble plea for your help.
Please look here and see that I have called you out.
‘Tis for the favour of your talent and skill I call on to help make a wish -- wish #30 -- come true.
(And if there be others, you wish to make so … to be sure, I shan’t say “No.”)
With blessings and thanks, ever yours
~Lady
I got here by coincidence...nobody told me about this place and it seems to have been up for a while!
A different side of you. It fits...beautiful.
Cooper~ Don't know about that but love that you think so... Gracias!
Lady~ Oh sweet Lady know that I have heard your request and am determined to honor it! HONOR IT I SAY! Forgive my absence but things have been anything but smooth in the Land o' BoheMia and I am awaiting the opportune moment of silence with which to have my wits about me in order to fully honor your request with the respect and consideration that it deserves! I will not fail thee!
Minka~ Glad you like it my sweet sistah! Would not be the same without your distinguished visit! Gracias!
You are truly a poeta. Truly beautiful. And thank you for the education at the same time ~ villanelle. Nice.
My pleasure sweet G... and thank you for the kind words! Glad you liked it!
