Limbo

It all hangs in the balance Hovering in cobalt atmosphere On a cloud of chaos Diffused in the breeze Words left unspoken Gazes in the distance lost Never crossing paths Isolated bubbles Launched without a care Without a smile Submitted on May 1, 2019 for contest MAY 2019 PREMIER 1 sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - RANKED 2ND

This poem is so well written that it haunts me. I hate unfinished feelings, things unsaid, these are the words that I cannot forget and it is torture to me when there is no chance to resolve the matter. You have captured this perfectly. This feeling is as powerful as love or hate. WELL DONE! :)

Dear Line... strange atmosphere when everything stands still, without solution. It seems that the world does not walk anymore , and so life. Solitude in the heart or solitude of a poet? I hope everything gets arranged and joy hits hard ... Beautiful poetic construction ... intimate moments, salute wv we alkas.
