Noche

by nouriguess   Dec 15, 2012


Tonight is almost beautiful.
Stars feel like mockingbirds;
singing my dreams back to you.
Your breath is swept
by cool winds too early.
I can feel it though.
I can tell it's yours.
We're daydreaming of work
conversations, of new jackets, of
our homelands, of funerals, maybe.
Maybe, of a sudden kiss.
Our thoughts are spinning and
spinning and spinning like
a ballerina whose feet
have no destination.
It's bedtime for us now
but we won't be tucked in
covers. Not tonight.

    Noura, I think this is my favorite piece from you. It's perfect in a simple kind of way. It says everything without saying too much. Perfect. -Nik

    Noura, this was absolutely beautifully penned from such a beautiful soul, there was this hope that I found refreshing, there was was this pain that felt almost perfect, it was just a whole essence of love and hope and longing and I think the simplicity worked really well...

    as much as I love your metaphors, and way of making me think "WTF" I also love your gentleness and simple way of making me think "WTF" because this was just amazing and you can pen anything and still make it a masterpiece.

    The addition of ballerina's and mockingbirds made this piece all that more beautiful, a piece of nature, a piece of life, a piece of you.

    Love ya girl

    Noura, I'm so happy you posted a new poem! I have been missing your writing :)

    I love the simplicity of this, how sweet it was, and just the sincerity that touched my heart. It is telling of something beginning and there is hope. That even though their breath is fading, you can tell who it is- your minds are busy, your lives may be crazy, yet there is a soft surrendering. And you both may share a kiss someday. Loved the images, and the title also, just the utterance of night here can give one's love a more connected meaning.

    Beautiful! Take care...
