Loneliness hides in white lace
On boats that sail through cobwebs of forgotten imagination
Dusty sadness blooming in the crevices of splintered lavender
Realities blurring in lilac echoes and Heavens singing in pearl oceans
Hands press against silver tears and hair drifts in memory
A fractured sob traces violet into an evening sky
Loneliness whispers in silent breathes of stardust
“Fractured sob” is more powerful than “dusty sadness.” I don’t know if this is an original piece, but if it is, I’d suggest using another word in place of dusty. Every word counts in a poem, even more so in poems twelve stanzas or fewer. 🙂
Thank you for your input. I will keep it in mind.
Very good accompanying picture, appropriate. Great poem of the pain of hidden depression.
Amazing wordcraft once again. I am awestruck time and again whenever I read your words. Such stunning imagery.
I’m with JMC!!! /\ Your words are as powerful as thunder, yet as delicate as a new bloom in the spring! Love it!
I don’t have much to say, loneliness is a horrible feeling I’m familiar with, as well as “forgotten imagination.” Good poem though. I’m focusing more on facebook than wordpress now, though if you want to add me on there, it’s http://www.facebook.com/raianhakari I realize we didn’t get to know each other well the past two months, so I won’t take it personally if occasional wordpress communication when I am on here does it for you. Later Lily.
