Asking Poem by Rani Turton

Asking

Rating: 3.0


Yet again, a wanderer at your shore.

Asking and not waiting for your reply.
Waiting but not wanting; watching but silently.
The eternal presence about eternal emotion
That can move rocks to tears: tears, yes, but
Fabric-ribbed, wounds and profoundly enough
Vacant lots in the mind.

Asking, and not waiting for you to turn back
With a glance or a smile. Elegance and rhetoric
Once when you took over my imagination
And the wonder of it all: the furtive questions that
Would insistently knock at my temples at the break of day:
Asking but walking away.

The need for questions answered is highlighted here Rani. along with the insistence an old love makes upon us - - bringing even the 'rocks to tears' is an inspired thought..... thank you - this is a wistful but beautiful verse.... Fay 10 + + +
