Wait & See

Two different meanings in the same language.

Crazy... because, it doesnt make sense still.

And it never will... She says, "Whatever.." He says, "Chill"
If it happens, then it happens, its not just for the thrill.
Its more like a bunch of moments that they try to fill.

One glass half empty,
The other half full,
A dunce cap on his head
and she, stuck with a fool.

 

Except they never tire of learning, 
The experience is discerning. 
She says, "Its hot" He says, "its burning"
Two voices, one earth...Still turning 

She said, "Ok..your'e smart... thats cool" 
He said, "Yea, another broken rule"
They paused. She sighs, "What do you mean?" 
He spoke, "I'm tired of living in our dreams"

She woke up, but he's still sleeping,
She asks, "What are you thinking?" 
He doesn't reply, because he's sinking...
She prods him again, without so much as an inkling.

Very beautiful writing. I enjoy the way you switch up the pentameter with each stanza. It's easy to read, and even easier to thoroughly enjoy. The actual themes you've explored here still leave me going, "hmmm. wow," after three read-throughs. Wonderfully written.

Wow! A very captivating write! At first, I wasn't really sure what to expect, but after reading it, I have to admit that I really enjoyed it! :) There was something really unique and stylised about your writing that made it feel fresh and raw, and I liked the fact that as the poem progressed, it made me want to laugh and cry at the same time, much like life itself I suppose. A familar situation described in an original and moving way. Nice work,

Very interesting and engaging. A window into relationship and how we dance around each other.

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

love the creative center that extends outward in a gorgeous and rhythmic orbit around such well defined dissimilarities between two focal points turning around the same reality~ engaging and exotic~
