last for a while
dug this one up from over a year ago...
last for a while
silent nights
fill the air
distance between
like oceans of prayer
cast out my anchor
with disconnected cord
no true attachment
to be counted for
from the blank stair
graces that pour
this was wanted
begged and pleaded for.
so tuck it back
swallow the smile
this must be
last for a while
pleasure and pain
bring me low
bend and sway
as a friend and foe
inhale this quietude
the respect i haven't got
take from me this
what i can not
not if but when
this spell brings rise
emotions full
the connection unties
invited sting
temporary trial
will it, may it
last for a while
silent nights
swollen with grace
an implicit stillness
destined to face
complacency the bullet
hapless as a knife
a bigger picture focused
that of eternal life
watching and wondering
between the lines of will
grace filled peace
a completeness so still
merciful love
cuts and burns
accursed enticements
my stomach it turns
silent nights make up this trial
a need so strong
make it
last for a while.

I can't believe no one has commented on what a wonderful poet you are! Heart felt and graceful-- to the point where it just sounds timeless. Me, I can only fit a few words together, like wiglet and piglet, or pouch and ouch. Still looking for the grand subject.
