Notes About The Poem

Nature Speaks Best

Dark space
               Cold 
           &
inexorable
    soul
        adrift
            heart
               stopped
         plopped
    shocked
gawked

     I see you
  in 
 majestic 
&
forlorn
    debarred
       Not alive
            Not dead
                depressive 
                        state
                          bereft
                              of 
                              cocoon
                                 &  
                             callousness
                          drunk
                        on
                 cashmere
             kisses
          on
       brink
     of
wonder
      as
       flying
          soaring
              beyond
                    tipsy 
                       skyline
                           glimmering
                               where
                                    love
                               left me
                           breathless
                       soaked
                   inebriated
                with
            aroma
          of
    flowers
 snagged
in
 tangent
      thought

needle
   thread
        tales
            of 
               antique
                  mauve
                     lodge
                        in
                        every
                          stitch
                        and 
                     soldered 
                   spirit
               wanting 
              to 
         learn
 about 
    peace           &           love
a 
    touching
        scale 
           to 
           climb
              hanging
                 upside down 
                             from
                     clouds
                  in  
              a 
         starry 
      sky

NOTE::THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' (intuitive cadence)& so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.
