Dearth

Dearth

Can you feel

the weight of my

longing ..

It is greater than

when I lost blue ..

And so

I now wonder,

where on earth,

did the sky

all go when you

left me

alone with my

hunger ..

Tho’ should we

by chance,

ever meet again

my love ..

I am sure I would

more than

just disappoint ..

Yes again

and again, until

all the cows

have come home

and you had

lost what was

left of your appetite ..

Dearth, a new word for me Neville. I had to look it up. To lose blue, and not to be able to see the true colour of the sky is a huge loss, so yes I understood the weight of longing here. As to the disappointment, some will never be pleased or satisfied with their lot. This poem speaks to me of incompatibility in love. There’s alot of it about sadly. A piece which conveys much emotion. Have a grand Monday.

Do I detect a note of bitterness here? We guys can churn up some hellish fury when we've been scorned.

I try my best to write poetry John .. Occasionally
I might just get it write .. and while I may have been many things, I assure you sir, I have never knowingly been scorned .. Cheers, Neville.
