Notes About The Poem

I Am Not

As one, am none
As two, embraced in hue
As salt fell from the vine
	Soured was my embrace with wine
	Kissed only in the mist
	For I am not, nor love could resist
		Lungs touching blooms in moldy waters
		My last breath
		Did she exist?

Andrea Dietrich September 17, 2017 at 6:01 PM DEEP, Arthur and sad, like a dream. I like reading this kind of poem from you.

Eileen Manassian September 17, 2017 at 1:00 PM I'm sure she did...and she was your muse. This is an intriguing piece. Salt falling from vines. Can't get my mind around that imagery. Will you enlighten me. Is there some hidden meaning? Hugs Arthur Vaso September 17, 2017 at 10:11 PM Just popped into me head that, being that grapes become wine, ( or hopefully most do LOL ) I just thought that at times, love was soured from the beginning before we realized.
