Hole

sorenbarrett

 I came to the edge of love, in a hole drunken did fall
A wall, up which I can not crawl
Rock echoes talk, on tablets of clay 
Chalk words of scrawl dissolved in light of day

Stone trap without a map
Daylight stars their story tell 
Solo climb heart’s peak and gap
In a nap of time at the bottom of a well

        It’s quite a challenge to search for personal meaning in the midst of despair. At least that’s the vibe I seem to be getting. And very moved by this poem as well!

            it takes considerable skill to score a hole in one .. I'm betting more occur by chance or by accident .. but are inevitably & nevertheless, more than welcome and celebrated to high heaven .. if that is where it is laid or set ... Neville

              So true Neville I have never known of anyone that scored one knowing that they would. Thanks for the read and comment.

              • Tristan Robert Lange

                This...just wow! Soren! What a metaphor for love from the moment we fall onward...and, of course in that falling comes ups, downs, gains and loss...in unique proportions for each person...and, in the midst of it all, particularly loss, trying to make sense of it all and find, if any, inherent meaning to it all. That is what I get of out of this the first several reads, but my friend, this is a multifaceted masterpiece that rewards multiple reads and will, no doubt, invite multiple interpretations...all signaling the reader to what this is...a great piece of poetic art! Bravo, my friend! 🌹👏

                    This is why I don't drink. I hate waking up in a dark well. Good poem

                          Love seems to be a battle which ages us, suddenly you can't make sense of their texts or calls, no better than a stone tablet and chalk
