Vijay Pandit Poet Rhyme

Distance Between Words

Just to be sure I read his letter again
There was no hint of any obvious pain,
Though I sensed some things unsaid
It wasn't anything in particular he said.

The distance between his words spread
And sentences read like averting dread,
Not loud enough for me to hear his sigh
Not sad enough for me to utter a cry.

Though scent of letter courted fragrant air
Aromatic smell was curiously unfamiliar.

I did spot an attempt at overt disguise
It wasn't the most blatant effort to lie.

His epistle grew a bit strange and unknown
The return address he used was his own,
But postal stamp showed he was with her
In her home town when he mailed the letter.

Russell Sivey October 13, 2017 at 6:53 AM This write is one that I feel saddened with, a letter that has torn the fabric of yourself just by the plainness of the words, something is missing, but it's not obvious! I really enjoyed reading this remarkable piece this morning! What a heartfelt poem, one of pain and sadness! Great Work my friend!! Vijay Pandit October 13, 2017 at 7:57 PM Thank you Russell!
