And I always run back to you
After fretting dark corners
And unlit circles
It's what I tend to do
I will run as you will run
Yet turning to say hello
I'll ponder your thoughts
You'll smile at mine
And then we'll turn and go
You will run as I will run
In fear and in sheer love
Feeling brushes with confusing joy
And I will run as you will run
Like a timid girl and boy
You will run as I will run
In disgust and in delight
Confident one day
And nervous by noon
What's next by and by?
I will run as you will run
Forgetful then awake
This is a game attending to love,
Contending with self
Impetuous love
We make

Hey woman,
ReplyDeleteLoved your poem. It has a nice flow. Wonder what E. thinks of it ... or did you send it to him?
There's a fee screening of "Million Dollar Baby" this Friday at the Paramount Lot at 6:30 if you're not busy. I can't wait to see it. Every one tells me how teary-eyed they've gotten watching it.
Hope you're having a great day! N.
hey girl...
ReplyDeletethanks for enjoying the poem. I haven't sent it to e.... yet...
i've sent him a lot of my other work and he knows that he inspires it...
i'm just a scaredy cat! argghh
but i guess if i send it to him... i will be less of a scaredy cat...
let's plan on me joining you friday. i am usually off on fridays... there may be a retreat I'm supposed to attend for saturday... i'll have to double check as to when I'm to arrive.
thanks again for reading my poem..
i like the alternating first line in each stanza, it developes flow and style, which are dead on, i also love the title, very original, which i always strive for, all and all; a great poem........
ReplyDeleteVery interesting follow-up to "the Wind."
ReplyDeleteThere seens to be such a freedom of movement and motion in both pieces restricted only by the love flowing in and out. The "run" verses are quite effective, but I have to admit, I'd be so tuckered out by all that running that "impetuous love" will kill me
on the spot! Lyle
Up lifting and hopefulness oozes from this piece.
ReplyDeleteHello Lyle,
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading and reviewing "run-in with love" and "if you know how to love the wind"... I haven't shared this with my muse. I'm terribly shy. Anyway, he inspires my work and perhaps it's best to keep "running"... It keeps me writing!
i see this poem and it makes me quietly very sad.maybe it's because i can't love find this kind of love myself. It's what i want but i just haven't met anyone that has the same thoughts or desires. I don't know the reason and don't really care. I just hope one day i too can find someone that can run as i can run. I can really relate,...contending with self always, brad
ReplyDeleteBeautifully written and smooth flow thats easy to read. Gave me the feeling love is a song floating in the spring breeze. Love these two lines- After fretting dark corners/This is a game attending to love
ReplyDeleteGreat Stuff. I really do relate; It's on the rim of brilliant, I'm really thankful for poets like you, who say what they mean. Loved your poem
