Oh,
smile, you who lingers in the corner
where
you’ve chosen to hide. come out take the placeof sadness for it has stayed too long.
come
out, smile, take the place of pain and anguish
for
my bones have become brittle and can no longercarry the weight
if
you could just but for a moment peer out
to
give my heart my soul a little moment of reprievefrom the misery of struggle, from the cry of strife
i
will welcome you with the warmth of my
embrace
and coddle you and of this sadness,take its place
i
will sing for you and play my guitar
and
run through fields of wild flowers,kick and splash the waters of the creeks and
streams and if you evince with the day
the radiance of your smile, the sun will
foster
from me in the same .humbly, i’m but a speck in the multi-universes
but with a smile i fill the whole of space
dear marcoantonio, each time i read your poetry, i hope one will be uplifting and not filled with sadness. this one came close. shine your light out into the world.
ReplyDeletegracias for visiting mi amiga. the reality is that i'm in turmoil inside because i'm a human of skin and bone with a soul that resides in continuous queries in the reality of life and what comes after. i do have a balance. my daily existence does not reside in sadness or the dark but this is my conduit to purge. i actually reside in a realm of hope and as a romanticist for life. i am spiritual and sometimes people interpret this as a darkness.
ReplyDeletegracias mi amiga
A beautiful heart cry, my friend, so rich is the panorama of life around us. I love how you entice that smile to reveal itself, and go on to run through fields of wildflowers, and splash through creeks and streams. That made me smile. I am tired, happy, over-loaded (as usual) and terribly behind online. Picking my way along, hoping to eventually Catch Up. (We live in hope, my friend!)
ReplyDeleteI love the thought of a smile filling space. This is a plea like a prayer and it is beautiful Marcoantonio.
