Waiting

Lorenz

I'm waiting .

Maybe love .

Or simply death.

That a door opens .

A departure .

A future ?

The return of the comet 

and a few other illusions ...

   I'm waiting .

Same as a religion .

Similar to an offering .

The one that won't come .

Those who will never return

and to whom I continue 

to write ...

A drama passes on the battle song

of passion ...

Leaving the sharpness of a scent 

that clings to the hours 

when one is alone...

A call that reflects only the faint

echolalia of yesterday ...

I can't remember  the lyrics 

to that old song anymore ...

It's raining on the grimacing 

carnival faces .

  the law requieres them

to wear a suitable  mask !

 On the ''Grand place '' pass

 silent penitents  and defrocked 

somewhat ashamed ...

A woman with a blossoming curve 

awaits me in these bustling years .

Chronicle of a past that had not

yet left on me the yesteryear's seal ...

Have I lived so little that I  must already

leave again ?

Do we know  why we  go round 

in this fatal geometry  ?

Please accept these Belgian chocolates.

I dislike flowers whose hurts 

are sanctified in cruel rituals...

and also those few laughable 

and derisory  words that dares 

not say :  '' Do you love me ? ''

  Me neither my dear ...

I don't really know what I'm expecting.

 But I have a feeling that it's so  important...

    There is a pause in the circus atmosphere where nothing seems certain only that something is coming. A wonderful surrealistic poem.

    • Lorenz

      Sometime I need to take a break in an introspective loop of time...

    • Ellen Marsell

      Poetry of mature waiting, without illusions and without renouncing feelings.

      • Lorenz

        Feeling not sentimentalism !
