Empty Sky

Teddy.15

 
I remember the day
 
you and I left London
 
from the same airport
 
different runways
 
I knew I'd never see you again
 
yet, every night
 
you still haunt my dreams.

              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

              • Teddy.15

                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. πŸ’–

                    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!

                    • Teddy.15

                      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. πŸ’–

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

                      • Teddy.15

                        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 πŸ’–

                          (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 🍻

                          • Teddy.15

                            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. πŸ’–
