A Longing Along the Waiting Line

User Rating:

10.0 /10
(5 votes)



  A flame lightens her face:
each time the rough soft voice rustles
across the telephone line.

...'If you wait i will be on the other side of the mountain;
the time it'll take you to reach will
be months on end.'

The secureness; of knowing safety
is near to the heart as
flowers bloom in the time of love.
The feeling now of pain is only a distant memory.

The sun rolls underneath the mountain
and another day awaits
'A longing along the waiting line'
of no lost souls but figures
seeking to make
a crazy life.

Celine Berghmans

19? you have the wisdom of an elder
I suggest you read two of my poems
'this poet'
'take it down'
and anything else you might find

You showed much and rightly so. That for one part in ur poem that all lovers live by longing, and endure. And to one who waits, a minute seems a year! I felt u summoned a vision and declared it pure. Magnificent poem.

knowing safety
is near to the heart as
