I don’t control impulses that recall

you crisply vivid in past moments

anymore than I can control the breeze

that teases my skin like ghostly kisses

And how many unexpected times must

thoughts of you end up making me

feel so alone in darkness and small?

Doesn’t the all these scars I now carry

seem more like your loves signature

for each time you did me wrong?

Some loves are too costly to be dared again

So- if your true nature is to hurt and break;

why do you pretend- to love anything?

Still- you leave me standing with water

and memories rushing through…my fingers

I like to steal your breath as you stutter to whisper the word beautiful after reading. I'm a poetic writer, an aberrational one of sorts. I don't write for the world seeking conformity to a style or some label of free expression, I permit my heart to whisper, while I serve as it stenographer and publisher. I'm honored my readers serve as its witnesses. What you may infer from this site; my hearts process or what it has to say, is strictly up to you to decide for yourself. I do appreciate comments in whatever degree of appreciation or criticism others feel the need to leave behind. I hope to respond in kind to them with a thank you openly or in a private conversation. Feel free to contact me if you so wish. View all posts by Poet of the Light

This poem is sort of like hearing Adele singing “Someone Like You” for the first time.

It makes you remember heartbreak.

I see the vision of water running through my fingers, just as a past love runs away from those same hands.

  Thank you kindly. I’m unsure what happened to Inkwell. Perhaps he just needed a break!
