Save me the pain

The best things in life are unexpected - because there were no expectations. Eli Khamarov

It takes so long, the expecting that I seek,

I don’t see it coming, not even soon,

it’s the wet kiss on my yearning cheek

tomorrow, the fall in the trees on the moon

 

the aching, the silver glimmer in the dew,

the man who’ll come out of the little child,

to look further than today, to see the withdrew

of the cold out of the ice, storming mild,

 

I’m tired of waiting till somebody tells,

knowledge before the knowing, I’ll be,

open the doors without a key, without magic spells,

 

make me drunk, yet even before drinking wine

whatever I say, whatever you see in me

save me the pain, just save me the time.

I liked this alot
Something about your writing is magical
You can take one places

This impatience just shows the urgency to live free
With no waiting and no restrictions
Can you build me a little home here ?
I can live in your words

Gorgeous

Thank you very much, Nisreena, very nice comment. 'A house where love lives is called home', I read this somewhere, so my advice is not alone to build a house but to fill it with love and you will have you home. Have a good day, Nisreena. :) Rudi

wow yes, we often don't want to wait, this is the era of instant gratification...but in this poem i see such an interesting twist....don't make me wait for the heartbreak, just do it now and get it over with...save me the anticipation of the pain...just let me feel it now...

we grow up too fast sometimes---pain makes us do that----but then when we know better it is too late.

i like what bob seeger sang.."i wish i didn't know now what i didn't know then"

Thank you for the comment, as always very educational, can always learn more about my own feelings and thought, other angles, but you're right, Jacob, sometimes waiting and not knowing is painful and on the other hand... :) Rudi

and Rudi...
as comedian steven wright says: "on the other hand, you have different fingers"

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]
