Waiting For The Boat, A Poem by Dandelion De La Rue with Pics from Cambodia

by
cambodia river and boats

Waiting for the Boat

The sun shimmers on the murky water
A little fish jumps
a dragonfly hovers over all
And ghosts of tigers look across the river.
The couple on the bench
Look at their watches
The boat is late, they say, annoyed.
The boat is always late.
But the sun, the fish, the dragonfly
And the tiger ghosts
Are right on time.

Please Stay
John Johnson/ Kim Copeland

I often see you only in my dreams
A love affair sub cautiously
20 years has gone by
I always wondered
What it could have been
There she is looking like
The perfect women
I know it’s a dream
But its okay
It feels real
Cause I have it every night
And it always ends with me
Asking you to stay

I often wonder
What you doing now
Its one of life’s big mysteries
I have your picture etched
In my brain
You were just 17
There she is looking
Like the perfect woman
I know it a dream
But its okay
It feels real
Cause I have it every night
And I get down on my knees
And ask you please stay

So when I find you
Will you feel the same way
Is this a fantasy in my head

There she is looking
Like a perfect woman
I know it a dream
But its okay
It feels real
Cause I have it every night
And it always ends with me
Asking you please stay
Then my picture of you
Starts to fade please stay
Please stay
