Cold Is the Gush

With downpour hued in starlit gray, And fallen eyes are interlocked In drizzles where the torrent bites Till candles wane on a fabric soiled Her boudoir cluttered by the wind, Sighing a pitter-patter scream And on a chair, her drooped spine curves, Receding off so constantly Limbs tip tap rhythm on the floor; Alone, betrothed to lonely sheets How cold the gush in Summer's flight.

Wow, so elegantly phrased this one! A lot of colorful and delicate images. I could be wrong with my interpretation, but I envision someone (male or female lover) leaving the bed out of no where... but the other knows they might not return.

Wow, the extreme power behind your glorious words here is outstanding, a tremendous staring look, through eyes of loneliness! You have written a breathtaking poem...one that inspired a poem directly after I read this one, a different feel than yours but still inspired from it! What a delightfully ingenious poem you have written here my friend! Such a grand piece, Awesome Work!!
