Time to Visit the Fisherman

by Maple Tree   Jan 8, 2013


The words spoken
are like a quivering
reality, he needs me,
as soft rain is to flower
buds on a crisp spring
morning.

I shall venture back
to a place I'd rather
not be, the tornado's
are violent, but nothing
can keep me away,
in his time of need.

If the dew drops from
my iris's can bring him
comfort, when the knife
enters his beautiful mind,
then I shall weep by his side.

Even pumpkins need
to believe in miracles,
and if the surgery can
grant him relaxation
from this violent storm,
then I will be there
to hold his hand....

    What can I say...except, I know how you feel...it goes without saying that we will do anything for the people we love.

    Beautiful opening but I think it would be better if you put a period after reality. It would give more of an impact to your next sentence IMO.

    Tordados? A metaphor for what will face you when you return...perhaps? it's not the best situation but, like you say, nothing will stop you being there...liked it!

    This is perhaps the most emotional stanza although, I doubt if you'd let him see you cry....you are too strong a person for that I feel.

    Pumpkin?...his pet name for you I feel? Only because my dad had a pet name for me which I loved....yeah...I think this is about your father Andrea? I hope things work out for you both and...just ingnore the tornados....they tend to be full of wind at the end of the day :)

    Beautifully sad MT. Your poetry always impresses...one little thing:

    from this violent storm,
    than I will be there

    (Then)
    to hold his hand.

    Very emotional. It shows your goodness with every word. I hope all goes well with a person who is friended by you in their bad times.
