An empty life is no life

I inhale at your discourse
A furious, increasingly, embracing, undertone
From the clouds within my mind
Yet I cherish every sigh that I make
So expertly given
So encompassing
So alive
I live

 

You have caressed me so divinely
I feel your presence in the depths of my being
And long for more
Please never deny me
Obtainable entities of love
They move behaving in a way
Which is impossible to predict
Through all spheres of their existence

 

My emtions are drifting dexterously
Often without being noticed or seen by others
To limitations and boundaries unknown to their selves
They experience a tragedy
They love

wow.... your word play is beautiful!! I appreciate this and can relate... thank you for sharing!! **write...write on**

Your poem is a breath; rising and swelling then slowly receding. The second stanza begins with a gasp and the last stanza is a sigh. The centering tells the story of breathing with all its ins and outs; ups and downs.

I love both the graphical and lyrical nature of the piece and I look forward to reading more.

there is something about the weather that makes these words ring even louder than they might have on an ordinary day

Your work is evocative - i love the use of the stanza shape. I read this as a plea to those who avoid the flames of living, or of loving, to come out of hibernation and to experience it all fully, although the second stanza apears to be directed toward a specific individual...

Either way, a great poem provides fodder for rumination, and you have done that. Thank you.
