-Evening Rain-
Rain tonight it seems.
Drifting out of the clouds.
Even the moon is umbrellaed.
Resigned to a drenching,the two of us
Moored together.
The rendezvous tree.
-Waiting Anxiously-
Waiting anxiounsly for you.
Unable to sleep, but falling into doze.
Are those words of love?
Floating to my pillow, or is this too a dream...
My eyes open and here is my tear-drenched sleeve.
Perhaps it was a sudden rain.
-In The Right Now of Now-
In the right now of now,
such things you say!
Two butterflies tied by impossible dreams.
Yet we flutter along to the end
Of the end..
-Longing-
Longing, longing
to be together.
I fret my days away.
Ever so once in a while we steal a night together,
and part
Longing, longing.
Parting is merely longing, never farewell.
The temple bell sounding at dawn
-Marionette-
Your heart flip flops and changes.
Like a marionette.
There's someone in the shadows
Pulling your strings.
(all poems written by Liza Dalby)
