Proximity

whisperingquill



The meaning is lost


in a disarrayed whisper

I donate echoes to your silence 


only to die in your respire

no root suspends my rood 


for the ocean I wade in 


is spent from her tears

there is meaning
in the conquest of your
contested neglect

for I have grown accustomed
to kiss the winds reverie 

indifference has always
been my servitude

as the gallows sway
in the waiting sigh

of her fading
acceptance of me.

    Buddy birdhouse,

    I feel like my unrequited soulmate should have written this for me. Did he ask you to post it for him?

    Seriously beautiful poem.

    I'd love to unpick where it all come from one day. Humans fascinate me.

      One can not unpick when more seeds are planted in next intervals garden. Thank you my friend. 🙂

        Oh I had a convo with this bloke the other day about what happens when you tell someone they can’t or should not do something...

        Show me the daisies!
