A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

 

articulating

 

 

i loved you madly, gladly

then sadly

in the mist

of the midst

 

of your ease

of breeze

as the leaves returned 

to a madly, gladly

 

then sadly

October's reinvention

of a certain redemption

as we moved to stone.

Til death do us part. So cleverly written, definitely a smart man’s poem, it has class.

How we transition from madly, gladly to sadly and then to stone...I wish it was the reverse!

You're mist welcome dear sir!
This little piece of brevity started with such promise and at the mention of October I new we were heading for a fall. Stone killed the romance dead. So much conveyed in so few words and visual with it Jacob. A sad ending.

Flowing, smooth rhyming play on words that recounts such a sad tale of lost love. This one is pathos packed and short but anything but sweet!

The heat of summer, it cannot last. Things will cool when the seasons change.
