napowrimo 15 - Fragmented

by Sunshine   Apr 17, 2020


I heard voices
in your silence
they said you sketched my faces
at the folds of your mind,
but for some reason
you never found me.
You swept past the meadows
as I stood for eras by your porch.
I aged.
The sky was mostly lame blue
and the grass endlessly bored.
Winds sometimes waved from afar,
the sun loomed out of darkness
occasionally
and on foggy lazy days
it took a break and I took its shape
but yellow didn't catch your eyes
I lost colors with every passing night
blue withered to grey
I lost my sight
the meadows, the grass
it all faded away
and you just never found me
you never found me
not a single one of me.

    I love how bittersweet this is. I love how it calls back to your other poem meadows. I'm so glad I was able to nominate this. :)

      You are right, in fact, 95% if not all of the NaPoWriMo poems are connected to each other in a way or another, at least regarding the source of inspiration or what is driving me to write. Thank you Mark, you're awesome.

    I am not joking I have wrote a similar line couple of days ago and i abandoned it!
    But my train of thoughts was so different. This is sooo good. The yellow part and then couple lines later losing sight. The way you expressed how it became dark and you being lost in it, without saying it is very smart!!

      Adopt your line again. I'm sure it's gonna hunt you back until you use it somewhere. Lines that I abandon always come back. and thank you sweetest star!
