WAIL

Contributed by TooMuch on Thursday, 2nd September 2004 @ 11:27:14 AM in AEST
Topic: LostLove

There's a pair of trousers in front of my eyes
So I can't see you
That's better
This way

Backstage, between the whirrings
Shudders
Wanting
It is
A perfect anaesthesia
To see
How a warm and unfamiliar embrace
Can make a wastebin seem inviting
Can suck a whisper in too lightly
Almost empty
Done from owning

Here, within this carrion darkness
Hats and jackets
Fits and names
The undersides of curls
I am the only one to blame

There are scents of christmas
-fresh blood and infatuation
Viscous and ridiculous
I am forgetting
Come, this way

Isn't it enough
To hesitate?
To touch
Regretting?

Enough for those who made you
Treasure every little loss
You loved
Just for the sake of misery
A throated inhalation
And simply catching raindrops
So I can't see you
Here

I really liked this.It wasn't too long. This had the great imagery of the angst we feel in letting go, yet holding on, to something, no longer there.
Good job!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
