Long View

A Poem by Chris Micha
"

There's a part of me in Longview.

"


~ Long View ~


 


It’s a long view from the seclusion of a solitary soul


One that holds out the seeker of her treasured enigmas


And yet she waits…


For the one whom is willing to go to the depths of her life


Holding his breath until the final jewel is pulled from the extremity of her soul


Guarding each single-one with an iron-clad locket of true uniqueness


Never willing to reveal the painstaking secrets it took to solve the mystery


 ~


It’s a long view from where I stand


I can only see so far with these eyes I was given, but I still stare in your direction


And yet I wait…


For the day when your heart says it’s okay for me to try and open it


And sometimes I can feel it tugging at me in its confusion


Not sure if I’m the one who should safe guard it but not sure if he is the one either


But what it doesn’t know is what depths I’m willing to go


And how long I’m willing to hold my breath from now…until?


I can see you slowly turning your eyes in my direction each passing day


So…


Lock onto me and let’s take a journey to the corners of our universes


As I explore you and you explore me


And we’ll take the long view around.


~

Good work Christian, it is so difficult when we know exactly who it is we want, and how badly we yearn to be with them, and yet are reluctant to make that step, is it fear of being rejected, a concern that the love is a one way street, and is not returned, whatever. In any case you have caught that here so well.

Sad, yet hopeful.
She must be something special...
Beautiful, emotional.

Christian, this has elements of T.S. Eliot in it...very, very nice write. It has a beautiful dreamy quality of looking through rose-tinted lenses....so eloquent and gorgeously written! Love this one!
