Sometimes

by Melpomene   Jun 14, 2011


With June
I wept for the imaginary.
My armour rusted
and a battlefield
scattered with ambrosia;

reminiscent of
the times you would
entwine your fingers
with mine -
holding me to
a promise.

Your scent was rain,
and touch like
autumn winds
nibbling at my cheek.

Your kiss would light
even the dampest
of forests on fire -

a sheep on
Skadi nights.

Sometimes I'd find him
hand-picking spring
in a brown paper bag,
palms scarlet,
smile lingering.

Yet now spring
stands before me
- a battlefield.

Stems arched like
Quasimodo -
and a hot water bottle
abandoned.

In all my bitterness
I brushed coal against
my cheeks,
to find you gone.

    WOW...am all in tears afte sending u a pm full ogf laughter!!
    This poem reminds me of my "Saddest things about April" a lot.. when in my case spring no ;longer means the beauty after losing someone ...

    and here I couldnt help but ache at the almost closing stanzas of this AMAzing, very descriptive and very well expressed poem!

    your stanzas spoke of poetry that only comes with high quality, a real poetess...and I am touched Deepply mel..

    thousands thousands of thought started to cry thought my head while reading this part..how
    memories sometimes give us the perfect shiver...
    (perfect shiver)>good title ;) :P.
    however these are sad sad lines... Love them

    Your scent was rain,
    and touch like
    autumn winds
    nibbling at my cheek.

    ^amazing description..of something that
    no longer is what it once "was"..i can almost feel
    everything here...

    Your kiss would light
    even the dampest
    of forests on fire -

    MY GOD.,..very strong..what were u feeling
    when u wrote this..
    you are incredible

    Yet now spring
    stands before me
    - a battlefield.

    ^
    that's what reminded me of my poem the best..a battlefield..oh yes!!
    amazing mell..am out of words seriously
    .

    In all my bitterness
    I brushed coal against
    my cheeks,
    to find you gone.

    and this was heart breaking..
    am just incredibly sinking into the mood of ur piece!!

    SOMETIMES they say memories are gates for healing, and sometimes i think that memories sometimes makes it impossible to heaL!

    however..5/5 ofcourse 5/5...
