Velvet of promises
Novaselic said:
In a way it feels like love bombing. Someone lavishes you with gifts, compliments, being clingy by blowing up your phone with endless calls and texts, to then isolate you from everyone else making you believe that they’ll be a part of your life forever, only to strip it away from you. You are now alone, thinking of all of those happy memories he/she gave you and wondering “did I do something wrong?” At least that’s my interpretation of this. Great poem :))

Velvet of promises
sorenbarrett said:
This is a sad poem of loss. Loss of a promise made that fell into silence. Silence can well be that lack of communication so common following a vow. The metaphor of blooming frost on glass is vivid. Cold is the frost just as silence is cold. I picture a window fractured from the cold now missing, an absence noticed just as a person in their silence seems absent. The taker in this poem is the last line:
\"waiting for time’s tender hands
to mend what love could not.\"

Inferno between us
sorenbarrett said:
A poem that begins with a tease that becomes a seduction that turns to desire a passion and then a fire. This told in poetic form the caveat that gives it double meaning lies in the word inferno which in English means fire but to one that knows its etymology comes from the Italian word of the same meaning hell. This suggests that the passion of today may be a different one tomorrow. I like this hidden inference that one may interpret as one wishes.

Humanity
sorenbarrett said:
Humanity more fragile than we think and in our limited short time of existence we feel immortal but so many species have lasted longer. A great write

Ghosting
Paul Bell said:
Always quite happy when people ghost me, especially if it\'s near christmas, saves me money.
Sadly, like boomerangs they make their way back.

This poem seems a poetic challenge to face up to what one has created and what is out there

In Your Embrace
Paul Bell said:
Love and sorrow, strange bedfellows but they seem to go together, together apart.
Would you change the journey that makes up life.

The Quiet Rhythm Of Time

Scars To Stars

From scars to stars this poem takes one from the intimate and personal to the infinite. It speaks of pain as necessary to know that we are. A mind provoking write. Well done in most poetic style

Those days

Cherished innocence of the past versus the harsh realities of a morally decaying present and longing for a return to genuine human connection. Truly beautiful verses dear Eliora!

It seems even love needs to be paid for these days.
I suppose it\'s finding a balance.
