Bring your ear
A little closer
Let me whisper
To the dawn
In the awakening
Of my tears
In my soul
So forlorn.
The gentle ebbing
Of the waves
Of the dream
I implore
Let me hear
In my loneliness
Your sweet voice
Again once more.
Enchanted forests
Between the pages
Of the ink stains
Upon my hands
The scattering
Of discarded paper
A lonely desk
Where silence stands.

What a beautifully sorrowful piece, Norman. The writing space becomes both sanctuary and evidence of absence...filled with imagination, yearning, and everything left unsaid. This one lingers, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
many thanks my friend, always very much appreciated
Good write N. I know it, you were writing poems with a fountain pen at the bus stop, then it rained, and caused ink stains, cos you had to wait so long! lol.
They invented the biro while I waited lol
A poignant lament. Well done 👌💅
