At first read I took this literally but then upon reflection I saw that it could be taken as emotional terminals where people part in life never to see the other the same again. A subtle poem of growth, age, and emotional distancing. Touching
My dear friend, in truth this happened it was 20 years ago, but your reflection is so very welcome because it is also a metaphor of lost love, we all have empty skies at some time in our life. Thank you so much. π
I am thrilled to see your post, have missed your unequaled verse. The beautiful picture of clouds has such an ethereal feel to it, it complements the essence of this simple yet elegant poem. So glad you're back!
I adore the simplicity and I'm always in awe that you see right inside my soul dearest Bella, it's great to be here with you all. Even when I'm not. π
Awe, my dear Parisab, I could only ever write this moment in my life a very long time after I experienced it, that sky is full of other wonderful things today, yet I adore the subject of love and of what led me to write my very first poem. Thank you so much for your gorgeous review and compassion π
(such a poignantly moody Poem
dear Poetess and please
forgive my dreary musings below kind friend
your ink inspires my honesty, a little too
effectively..
lol)
airports, are a cruel kind of gateway
to our muse of possibility and dreams
in an instant, we're sky high and free
and that very instant
we feel that cruel distance, singeing
that widening gap in our hearts...
(this is why i don't do goodbyes
I give everything i have
in the Time i'm gifted with
the kind souls that enter my life
and when cruel fate comes around
I simply disappear
it has been this way all my life, a kindness
of sorts, since
i leave behind little but fragments
to remember me by)
but to me
every memory visits crystal clear
decades
after finality visits my cherished relationships..
but these wet eyes, realise
to feel this way, i must have loved so abundantly
and so gratefully, i shall carry these scarring
mementos
till that hurrah breath, grants a most finite
sigh of relief..
till then we reminisce and π»
Oh my goodness, I think your words have indeed inspired a few more scribbles in me dearest Mek, truly a wonderful poetic heart you do have. Thank you. Airports have been my best and worst moments for sure. π

You are still looking up in the sky for a certain airplane-your sentiments are as big as the sky todayβ¦
