slight of strings

slight of strings

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

slight of strings

 

 

 

etcetera bones

rusted hinges

the mind wakes to rain

 

I run amok

in quicksand blues

I love you

quicksand blues....love that. Sometimes it can feel like love imprisons a person like quicksand does. Rusted hinges? Well, I think at our age we all have them! :)

Bones as rusted hinges are clever.Brief and powerful end.

thank you for your kind comment, Tania.

And there ya go! Expressed in a few words the body and the heart, with three words we try to express in different words but sometimes just writing I love you is more poetic.

I love the unique angle of this.
The thinking cap is in place but in the end, all that needs to be said is 'I love you ".

Ain't it crazy what love does to us? And man, do I hate the haunting that follows break ups! Jeesh! Nicely done, Sir.

So immensely powerful is this brevity. I woke to the sound off strings two days ago. Pierced my soul it did and the dam burst. Stunning poetry J.
