Until We Meet Again

By cre

-as the mother to her child- -and a god to his creation- -fear the day the tables turn- -for you built your own damnation-

your lips kissed and breathed and something died inside of me broken, though something else and something new lay born and softly learning lay hoping and silently lay yearning to someday kill and oh, to break you too to whisper in the wind that stole into my room beyond the shadows and the gloom to suck this scent this stale cologne this bleeding grip that would never let me be alone these glances, oh they linger in the hallways as I pass and these mirrors that I shatter deny your words that claim it never mattered and I know someday you'll die with me at last

- - - -just because I sit and do not speak- -just because you hear no sound from me- -does not mean I feel no rage inside- -does not mean I don't still wait for you to die-

- - - usque ad nos iterum conveniemus, Godspeed.

Beautifully dar piece - reminds me a bit of Poe, for some reason. I miss seeing new things from you, but I'm glad to at least be able to read some of your stuff. Ciao, Steve

I enjoyed the entire poem. The first stanza though, sounds absolutely scholarly. I really believe you are gifted with more than ordinary insight.

Some how, I saw and touched so much more of this poem tonight, then I did the first time I read it. Since, I must have read it a good 15x. Just thought I'd leave a note, letting you know this didn't drift from my mind like so much usualy does0:)

Some times your poetry doesn't give me thought, or words per say, but pictures that take time for me to interpret, and once I do, the scene is amazing,as with "Until We Meet Again".

So captivating, really delicate and beautifully flowing. A really beautiful kind of saddness, one that I admire. Amazing work, engulfing.

usque means always, ad means to, nos means we, iterum means again and conveniemus means we meet. A better translation would be "Dum conveniemus iterum". Nos isn't required, but you can add it for emphasis.

I hate latin.. for instance, 'again' could be denuo (anew-a second time) or iterum (again and again-a second time).. my head hurts...

Wow. I loved this piece. The second stanza especially caught me. There is much more below this surface, and oh what I wouldnt give to see it's truth entirely. You've intrigued me. Very good piece. Very good indeed. -Glass
