Loves Amputees

Dismiss me so gently like swishing chiffon
To dream like a phoenix, time to drone on
But dead like a doormat,unable to pain
Pillar of salt , summoned by the urgent sea
There to be drowned but for the buoyancy
Pavemented path of ceaseless regret
Appartion goes past I try to forget
Oh that was us, why is this what we do?
We smash our beliefs so deliberately
Hopes doleful travellers, loves amputees
Tore out the page yet swore to be true
Promises made with a foot in the door
Eavesdrop a thought ,oh God I miss you

Beautiful poem of introspective reflection, Jannie. Your thoughts pierces the heart w/poetic arrows of poignancy. Beautiful poet you keep speaking from your quiet place of rustic solitude. Another mother brother's love to you. Love and joy forever.

The words help but can never alleviate the pain.

Indeed you have, I have moved on and everything is milk and cookies again. At the time though, it was excruciating. We eventually dwell on another plane
