Array ( [sid] => 100298 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Are We There Yet? [time] => 2005-07-06 08:57:25 [hometext] => The hesitant moves to new love enclosed within a metaphor of cars, hitchers, drivers and the many roads that criss-cross our hearts.... [bodytext] =>

Love is not my vehicle of choice,
Start ups and breakdowns steal my voice
So when you asked for a ride I was beset,
My mind racing, 'Is this the first step?'

You travelled light, drifter's luggage,
And me weighed down with all my baggage
You talked of other trips, no road being set,
Yet my anxiety already made me fret.

So my feelings took a back seat,
To words and gestures, ever discreet
Coffee and polite tete a tete,
But my emotions kept screaming. 'are we there yet?'

Cloistered loneliness hardly ever weeps,
But when it comes to love rust never sleeps
The choice is safe alone or risk regret,
The fork in the road is an even bet.

I wonder if I'm ready to share the journey,
The lonely path seems made for me
Your gaze tells me things aren't set,
Still my heart is asking, if I'm there yet. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 194 [topic] => 48 [informant] => spike [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 35 [ratings] => 7 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Are We There Yet?

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
