unprepared

dusk arising

 

unprepared for you
          there you were
for some reason
       you see my reason
and you lift me
      from the wreckage
in your arms
              i live again

    There is a book in this brief beauty. Sigh-worthy work!

    • dusk arising

      There certainly is a story here yes. A recent chapter in my book of life.
      Thank you for your kind comments

      Good write, may your life continue in ts new love.

        It wasn't to be i'm afraid. A close encounter but... the words i published on 13th say it all.

      • Michael Edwards

        Holds true it sure does- a little diamond write.

          Thanks Michael, much appreciated praise. I'm a great fan of the 'less is more' school of poetry and it really pleases me when i can come up with a worthwhile 'short'.

            As you know I love shorties - they can be intriguing and can pack a great punch - this one is a sure winner.

            Sounds like one of those encounters that turn the everyday grayness into color. A turning point in life, you say hello, you talk, you sit by the river, you age together... and you blink and it was all in your head; a ten minute life, imagined happiness before the color fades again. I get that a lot. 🙂 Enjoyable moments, why bother trying to make it real? Is there a difference between fantasy and a memory?

              Like i said in my accompanying comment, this was meant to be written in a valentines card this year.... the relationship had ended by then but.....
              I really like your take on this, you surely have a great poetic imagination. Thank you for commenting, it was a pleasure to read.

              A gem of write which says much about coping and moving on.

            • Neville

              these are beautiful words indeed...

                Wow! out of the blue i'm taken back to why i wrote this. Intended for a valentine, never sent.
                Thank you for bringing this back into my focus and thank you for your appreciation of it.

                • Neville

                  my pleasure and true, as was my brief review note.. have a great Sunday my friend... N
