Maple Leaves of Tomorrow

by nouriguess   Aug 15, 2011


And as I ripen
within the arms of
a day that inundates
each secret you once
kissed upon my skin
all of a sudden...you
bring your black charming
sweater and...

I trifle here and
there, attempting to erase
what yore caused me
of pain, disappointment
and failure.

Then a moment of
that creepy silence prevails
on our breaths, I
once again begin to
play with your hair,
knowing that you
should have been
forgotten and deserted...

(but between my breasts)

-Have you ever sought
for a hot cup of oblivion
in a Wintry dawn?

Listened to all what
you've got of music,
but could not compose
a memory?-

(I have.)

And then you drink
your coffee, give me
a kiss and migrate...

(unaware of my inner
breakdown)

I'm solo...

and the windows taste pale,
rain adorns my misery
I miss you,
crave you,
but your existence
in my nights incinerates
the maple leaves of my
tomorrow...

(Liberate me)

    The opening was really different- the use of "embarrassment" gave me that feel that you've been holding this shame for a long time. This poem is really vivid "wind abducting me" and "sanity calling out your name" were profound revelations about this character. The lines kept getting stronger and I was drawn into this passion's tide. The only part I felt weak was a bit more weak was "then...we hug"- I felt the build up and then declining of this glorious moment you have thought of....... but felt it could have been written more elegantly without giving away the fact that the kiss was just a hug? Maybe, just my opinion dear...the ending was a bit mystifying, I liked the concept of it. Great thought I still can think of.

    This was the winning piece Noura, because it brought so much new meaning to the title and the character. This whole inner struggle between what your soul is wanting to forget and what you have seen through his failure, but you meet him only for a moment. Your phrases had class, flow and made this piece your own! The parenthesis, especially the ending of "liberate me", left me speechless- two words= profoundness. Like you have been left solo and his very existence takes away everything else you could live for. Good question words- eccentric and a fresh thought. Greatly intriguing with unique emotions that ride this poem

    Congrats :)
