Imperative

I would...

Write a thousand songs
Walk a thousand miles
Die a thousand deaths

Anything...

Just to be with you
Just to see the light in your eyes
Just until the morning

I am...

Waiting, wanting, weary of the world
Desperate, despairing, denied of your love
Cautious, careful, considering my next move

I would.

I will.

I am.

Grey Skies

Grey Skies

The dark clouds are heavy in the sky

They brim with the tears of heaven

It falls with desperate longing

I look out my window

The drops fall faster

A heavy heart

When it stops

Skies clear

Calm

I’d forgotten about these weird little forms of poems.  This is a Nonet.  It starts with nine syllable then each line has a decrease if one syllable until the last line which has one.  Interesting.  But I needed a form tonight. Lacking inspiration.
