Poem of the Week |12| Ache

By Claire Murphy Last updated Jul 29, 2015

Ache

I am for stories
The aching slip, slide
As characters bump against each other
The almost, maybes

I am for telling stories
One day I will tell you ours
Unsure if you will recognise it
For I added a sunset here and there
And grains of truth get blurred with want

Perhaps if I tell it right
All pauses in place
Exact rise and fall of voice
You will ask me
If there is any truth in it

That sunset I wrote
Bathing us with light
As I whisper softly

And in between each word
Wondering if this is the ending
The climax, crescendo
The last full stop
