OMG no that's not inspired by that poem not even partly. You make my heart ache. This is very touching and yet the wording is just at another level.

Day 8 and your poems keep getting stronger!!!

Hey, nice! I love reading this, phenomenal work as always. Although this might've been unintended, your poems form a sort of loose narrative that I absolutely adore, and like Star said, eight days in and they just keep on getting better. I hope you have a good day. ^^

Transposed Roses:

The river keeps flowing
with hardly any memory at all
of the days I wore ruts into
its clay stained shores.

You probably don't flinch
at the mention of my name
even though our circles
still intersect frequently.

And I kept nothing of you
through the moves. Nothing
at all because, well, how could I?
Yet, I wish he were you -

truly as much as I love him
I miss our patterns and
the way the river healed us
from separate things - together.

Okay with that out of my system, I love this. It's a fantastic piece that brought me some much appreciated tears. Now, off to read Rania's piece!
