you and I,
we are driving
the whole way to Pasadena.
white lines
waver in the heat –
parallel reflections
in hindsight
converging
just behind horizon’s edge.
I wonder,
can the travels
bend our paths
back together
or
have we past-
through that intersection
well before starting
our trip to Pasadena.

Exquisite…somehow you have managed to weave a sense of loss, a glimmer of hope, the uncertainty of future and the longing of love…all together in a heartfelt verse….wow 🙂

That was a lovely interpretation! Thank you so much!

Paresh said it all.
I love the idea of actually heading for Pasadena – of course it’s a real place, but for me it’s a mythical name from the movies.

I’ve never even been to Texas 🙂 so…that was exactly the kind of thought when I was writing. Although when I put the first words down – I had no idea WHY it had to be Pasadena, it just did.

OR California … my goodness I’m slow today!

beautiful journey of a bond depicted thru words

Thank you so much!

Cinematic!

Thank you :).

moving …!
… I could be wrong (I usually am) but should that last stanza read:
‘or
have we passed …’
I realise I’m probably stepping on metaphor-shells here in which case please forgive me

🙂 I was wondering who, if any, would pick up on that. I started with passed – and realized that past fit what I was meaning more. I know grammatically I’m taking poetic license but I’m hoping it works and is forgiven. 🙂

I was going to comment on your use of ‘past’ being ‘perfect’.
Nov 29, 2012 @ 19:21:42
🙂 nice play on words… and thank you!

I love the phrase “can our travels bend our paths”. It makes rich use of the possibility of journey. Thanks for this.
Nov 29, 2012 @ 19:21:57
Thank you!
Nov 29, 2012 @ 17:35:16
Loved every word!
Nov 29, 2012 @ 19:22:14
🙂 thanks!

I noticed “past” as well, but liked the way that it fits as the last word of that thought, but read aloud flows into the next as passed.

🙂 thank you! I’ll read it aloud when I get a chance, just for that!
