If you can wait

By lauthiamkok

04 April 2008

Another writing of mine and it is out of 'rules' again.

If you can wait
I can grow up
to speak all words
you have been waiting to hear.

If you can wait
until I am old enough
to understand the world
I can tell you
in a word of wisdom
for all words
you have been waiting me to understand.

If you can wait
like the world waits for me
to learn to tell
all words about you,
I can promise
to let you see one day
all the harvest
we have waited for.

Strange theme, interesting poem though. I enjoyed it. Like me you don't seem to conform to a conventional poetic style. Rock on!

Good to know that I have a company here to 'against all odds' (only joking). thanks Steve_K.

Your poems intrigue me, Lau. I guess you are intrigued by many things in life, hence your poems... I'd love to know who is the 'I' and 'you' in this piece. I'd like to think it is spoken by a man to his wife early in their marriage. But it really could be an exchange between anyone in a significant relationship... hmmm...

Mia :roll

thanks Mia, I think my writing is deeply influenced by postmodernism. It aims for plurality and the 'loss of the self', or the 'death of the author'. Image is all that matters. It is up to the receivers how to 'replace' the 'I' and 'you' in their imagination.

I made this piece 4 to 5 years ago. I can't even remember the object of this piece.

I think the 'you' refer to 'anyone' in general that was I tried to achieve.
