Echo’s Just Don’t Lie

Neville

Echo’s Just Don’t Lie

 

The big house empty

now echoes

like a foundry with

its molten

pools of golden light

and

individually discarded

memories

each now falling, 

but slowly upwards

in cascades ..

And yet despite the

absence

of any lilies 

in the garden and us

being 

on the cusp of yet

another summer ..

This is how

love feels when on the

verge

of its being broken ..

Yes love

do come listen to these

echoes calling ..

they have

a secret for you darling ..

      I like the way you have expressed yourself in this . Love can be so beautiful but so sad when fading and disappearing .

        Echos don't lie - they just repeat themselves but that's not always a bad thing where true love is concerned.

        • Paul Bell

          You set the scene here.
          The empty house tells a story, the flowers that once grew now withered and dead, followed by the memories as the door closes.

          • Neville



            thank you Paul, that'll do nicely sir ................................ N

          • dusk arising

            The house of love is a haunted place with ghosts sudden shrieks causing us to shudder when entered alone but for the memories.

            A haunting piece indeed.

                  Yooooooooo. Yoooooo. These metaphors, "like a foundry," "pools of golden light." I literally adore this poem. It's truly a bittersweet sense I get, like a move that hurts, but it's a change for the better. Great job dear poet!

                  • Neville



                    and you Rocky are far too generous for words .. but do ya hear me complaining .. nah of course not my friend ... thank you so much for reading into me .... Neville

                    Echoes , yes the echoes breeze through the air, let their whispers speak truth...

                    Beautiful always... Depth and heartfelt emotions

                    • Neville

                      • Dove
