Rewind 'Till You're Blind
The space between
words wounded,
a black
a seclusive
infinity
devided---
between each cell in my
aching
body
the emptiness that baffles physicists
that emptiness between each living cell
it stretches between the stars, too
(Alone now)
all astral bodies pull against gravity
for company
in the black and empty void of
lonesomeness
just like we do
and isn't it beautiful
that two stars orbiting one another will
share the same light
just like we do.
Remember when
your eyes met mine
as dusty monarchs took flight inside
the stillness of the moment
captured and framed on my wall
I wish I could drawn into
your second dimension
Where espresso kissed goodnight
forever
I'll admit to the divide
but not the life you severed.
If it exists ---
(Do we exist)
In the eyes of a temporal stormy
endeavor
Tidal as the Oklahoma weather --
I watched a shooting star and
wished for you
like I always do,
on the petals of dandelions
set to dance in grace with my lips exhale
to the autumn wind.
I thought I remembered --
back there, somewhere
in a time we barely shared
the whisky twilight of a love that poured into the
envelopes of letters I'd later write
into the finite
of a human forever;
I swore you sang me a love song then,
but I guess some people just chew with their mouth 's
open
And I guess I can forgive
that tiny social faux paux.
Wow! This is next level, I
Wow! This is next level, I live the way this poem ends up grounded in the mundane reality. It brings it home just nicely, after the intellectual romp of nostalgia! Oh what could have been! The chasm of loneliness and missing would not have to exist if only I had seen it the way it was not the way I wanted. Sobering and insightful reflection brought to us through great metaphors and similies rendered with that cascade of unique word craft that is you. Much enjoyed your take on this. Blessings ss

Thank you so much, Wordman!
I love being transfixed by
I love being transfixed by your poetic gymnastics while relating, on a very personal level, to every word. You certainly created that rare and deeply satisfying experience here using expansive, astronomical metaphors and innovative descriptions that strike at the center of love's maddening cyclone.
The sense of wistful nostalgia is absorbing, relentlessly real, and then, with a sly twist, you strike hard with a wry and brilliant (And very relatable!) perspective on the entire romantic adventure.
It's always a pleasure to unwrap your stunning gifts and find the payoff so satisfying that I can truthful say: Hey, let's do it again! Encore!
It's always a pleasure to
