Reading and Writing: Life on the Page

(You, My Calliope has been published in the February Issue of Word Catalyst. It’s the most prestigious magazine (3 editors, one editorial consultant, and 10 staff writers) in which my works, poems and short stories, have been published so far. I hope this publication of my poems in America will open up further possibilities of getting more of my writing published in America in the foreseeable future)


You, My Calliope

Every night
I sleep beside you
but wake up alone

It is futile
to chase you
from my waking mind
for you invade my dreams

Day slips by
when I forget your name
Time stands still
when I pine for you

Every day
I wake up alone
but sleep beside you

The meaning of Calliope is multidimensional in your poem. It could be the name of the one loved by the narrator or the name of the Chief Muse.

Below are the replies from poet friends at another forum:


Your poem touches on the love and loneliness in life in a succinct way, that we can be alone in a crowd and still find that one person for that one moment that we can socialize with and find happiness, this leads to sleeping alone, with your love.

-- Rodney L. Eisenbrandt

Beautiful and bleak, like a snowstorm.
You waste no words.
