The Two of Us

The Two of Us

A Poem by Nico

plc-00026817-001.jpg picture by blueskyns1959  where are you, how are you
it can be hard
I know, you know.

 

I stop at a red light at the crossroad
you are the one I am looking for amongest everyone
by foot, in a cab or in a bus
two eyes looking at you and then going away
into brisk winds, lost in traffic
cars honking madly in laughable chaos.

 

where are you, how are you
I'll change, if you change
the two of us, we are alike
two wrestlers, two veterans

Two love songs as you and I
with the same words in a cafe.

 

200251999-001.jpg picture by blueskyns1959I just want to say now that you are leaving
if that is love, you'll see love
you'll be living because of love.

 

What are you doing tonight
I phone, you're not home, says leave a message
but the recorder is so much faster than I
thus I never know what to say.

 

where are you, how are you
you're not there, where are you going
I am here, like you are
with this scare to love.

 

two minutes, two hours, forever
duelists in the sea of this town
where everyone needs love
exactly as we do........

 

where are you, how are you
two even if, you're not there
you and I, always or never
we are like we are
we exist as two.

You always write with such emotion and truthfulness to your words. I liked the way you added the pictures to paint the scenes a little clearer. This was a wonderful piece and the story is something i am sure most have experienced at some point in life.


Wel Done!!!!!!

Very good representation of the desire to know everything related to each other. Finding peace during separation is a challenge always...whether at a restaurant or a airport or a bus depot...the questions remain, and the longing to be together, always.

Good Work!

The physical relationship may be over but mentally it rages on. You're constantly on the lookout, everywhere you go, hoping to catch a glimpse of her. Wondering constantly where she may be and how she is doing.You refuse to believe this relationship is over and try to find solutions to the problems promising you'll change if she will. But try what may, you still exist as two, rather than one in heart and mind.

Very beautifully written and smooth flowing. There is a sad undertone. This piece is filled with longing for this girl and an empty lonely feeling.

Very beautiful in sad way.
