Nette Onclaud Poet Free verse

Our Interrupted Story

The rhapsody  of  duskfall’s sky pulses in
 irregular beats  tonight ,as I gaze at  dotted  stars
 fleeting beyond  this moment absent from,
         nonchalant  about  a life of  earthly radiance…

and summer’s flame caresses my  body
tingling   clinging   invading a certain quietus 
where my very soul weeps for your touch
ghostly or vaporous , as I fold the last pile
of clothes from the attic: the musk scent
wafts around me, like a  glide of a river
fathomless like single immersed  dive
into an unknown eternity where your passing
rakes my seasons-- hour after hour.

CayCay Godwin March 21, 2018 at 2:50 PM Oh, my emotions have been pierced with sorrow's feel! This delivered the feel of missing so poignantly that I will need time to shake it off. I'm sure this will fare well in the contest (well, they are VERY hard to predict, on 2nd thought). I won with me. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
