Jai Bankson Poet Narrative

Leave a Whisper

One thing I must know before we go any further than this
                        Words that must be sealed with a true kiss..
                           That when you leave and leave you must..
                              sorry-This is turning to more than lust:
                                 I ask you to leave a whisper in my ear
                                  An ending to this chapter,No sequel  I fear.
                      You didn't know I was awake when you slipped away
                                         I'm sorry you must leave
                                           ''don't go''''please stay''
                                   No words of this nature  may I say. 
                                    
                                ''Nor bring me any sense of  senseless self''

                             They get to close and with this I can not permit
                                     Memories of the faded face lingering
                                             Thoughts I can not forget.....
                         I could feel her breath upon my neck as she left me a memory;
                                 One that is fading tonight
                                  This- just one reason that I must write.
                        Should have I pushed,pulled,fought for what I believed to be mine
                           or continue to 'sleep' pretending tomorrow would be just f.i.n.e.
                                             This time  wasn't like the others
                                          that voice  could be my muse's muse
                     I kept my silence silent,something I've begun to abuse.
                      - If you feel your soul screaming at you with advice
                          Do not hesitate,prolong,ponder-Never think twice-
                  For in that time,your moment may have left,just dew,mist,simply gone
                          Grasping for something tangible''hoping ear shall prolong''
            Just leave a whisper so memories I will have to nourish a smile,it too needs help  
                                           to be seen every once in awhile.
                            Memory I do have,not of sight but sound.A beautiful whisper,
                                     A reminder to make life a little more profound.

Andrea Dietrich March 16, 2016 at 3:48 PM this is an unusual topic and I enjoyed this idea of wishing to go back in time and have a "do over" Good one! Jai Bankson March 17, 2016 at 1:13 AM I wouldn't have done anything different...A good life lesson...These were some actual 'terms''Well worth it in the end

Richard Lamoureux March 16, 2016 at 8:15 AM This is very good, in the second half of the poem you switched to "She" this confuses the narrative a bit, I would suggest you keep speaking directly to her through the whole piece. If you make that small shift you will end up with a truly special poem. Jai Bankson March 17, 2016 at 1:09 AM I didn"t see it..Thanks
