Take One.

Fay Slimm.

 


Take One.

 

Take one from a pair and trauma arises,
ocean buckles,
sunset ices,
waiting grows fists and memory sighs.

 

Take one from a duo and lost are smiles,
lonely ungloves,
solo arrives,
life loses bliss and future demises.

 

Take one from two and sorrow tightens
love uncouples,
oneness frightens,
lips stay unkissed and distress climbs.

 

Take one from other and spoil an item
parting troubles,
nothing revives,
     sudden grief hits with no compromise.

    Boy, does it ever hit with no compromise! Right in the heart and gut, with doubling-over pain. Your poem nails it, Fay! It resonates for sure.

    Take one from two and sorrow tightens
    love uncouples,
    oneness frightens,
    lips stay unkissed and distress climbs.
    I love this verse specially. Lovely Fay.
