Performed by Val Cole
POEM:
We sat so still no one knew that I was beginning to come unglued
I thought I should reach down to tie her shoe
I stole a kiss from her cheek she caught a teardrop sipped a drink
It froze in a place until she let her hair down
We view the flowers growing outside each one was different in the light
The one that touched me deep within was the one I knew
My voice rose over the café din, “I think I love you!” “Is this where love begins?”
The door flew open her dress danced upon the wind
My love, my honey, you’re so fine she kissed my lips it tasted like wine
I closed my eyes like a window with pulled blinds
Left behind my sense of self, she pulled a book back off the shelf
The words led me back with a vague clue
What would you say if I could say what it is that you want me to say?
She laughed for a moment thought to herself you’ll do
Hands fasted we held each other tight
Walked out the door into the bustling street
Out here something means something somehow
It was a stroll but I wasn’t alone the company was good this much I know
We went upstairs to the place I called home
Took off her coat kicked off her shoes
I glanced at the paper for the daily news
I sat on the coach placed the phone off the hook
Love is tender Love is sublime hold me forever while we still got time
Never forget that I am yours you are mine

the grown man stood
thinking of decades gone
when he was young
and another man who
stood here too.
Both linked by more
than one can say:
love and genes;
one paved the way

Poetry Reading: WHEN THEY LOOK AWAY, ...
Poem by Val Cole
POEM:
They say,
I should have been stronger —
like bones aren’t meant to break
under the weight of a stranger’s hands.Like I wasn’t already fighting to hold on
while he took pieces of me,
one by one,
until the mirror became a place
I could no longer stand to look.They say,...
