With Nothing More to Lose

Neville

With Nothing More to Lose

 

I noticed there were rainbows

forming

from the arc of tears then

falling

like multicoloured waterfalls

of fractured

stained glass, poured upon

the pretty

yellow handkerchief you held

against those

most amazing eyes of yours ..

Oh’ my darling

look at me, they say I’m dying

and it feels

like I’ve got nothing more to lose ..

        A linguistic picture of heart-touching moments when tears tell more than one piece of a story through your expertise with the pen. Unmatched your ways with words my dear friend.

              The way you have used the imagery of color to bring this piece to life is extraordinary. Bittersweet, heartbreakingly beautiful. A true fav!

                looking at life through a kaleidoscope kinda helps with the more subtle tones .. the rest is down to mirrors, smoke, a few choice words and of course luck 🙂

                To begin it reads like a love poem with all the trappings: "rainbows," "waterfalls," "stained glass," "handkerchief," and her "eyes.' Then, it shifts to the tragedy that it becomes. Having read it several times one discovers that it is in fact a Love poem.
                Well done, it drew me in and held me spellbound until the end. - Phil A.
