I Swear I Will...
/I Swear I Will Write Next Time
I wonder
How wonderful it would be
If only I narrated ‒
The fragrance of cloying jasmine,
Hanging in the air;
The wildness of the insects,
Fluttering around the light;
The coquettish liberties of the fish,
Pecking stone under the water;
The untiring spirit of the river,
Pulsing through the darkness;
The ruby smiles of the street dogs,
Wagging tails at the familiar neighbors ‒
In my poetry.
But, sometimes
Unavoidable family responsibilities,
Sometimes quest for a proper mood,
Reinforced by the sluggishness,
Stab my emotions, perceptions, spirit.
I swear to write later on!
