Conversations with You
The way you walk through me in the still of the day
Or weep in the heart of a sigh
Insipid distraction fades, shrivels away
With naught but a wink of your eye
As you tug at me from across crowded floor
Though not a whisper is heard
Beneath us worlds tremble, we start for the door
With never an uttered word

Conversation with a Teenager
A huff, a puff
A stomp, a sigh
The stare, the glare
The ‘blank look’ eye,
The frown, the scowl
The slam, the shrug
The silent relenting
In the power of a hug

Redemption
You forgave me
In your own sweet style
Redemption washed through me
In the glow of your smile
J~
Oh my, have you ever captured well the conversation with the teenager! Rough years...LOL.
ReplyDeleteYes, it has its moments:)
ReplyDeleteI wrote this poem after a comment on the poem 'Words are all we Have' reminded me that a hug can speak volumes. That got me to thinking about some 'conversations' where no words were needed to make a point. I think my kids would say 'the look' is one of those non-verbal words.
Thank-you for sharing your thoughts.
I like the way your mind works. Many poets get that spark of an idea, but few turn it into something beautiful, times three.
ReplyDeleteFunny how certain 'conversations' spark thought:)
