A social site for poets in Sydney.
Sinking into dead roots of old oak trees and fallen leaves
I let them out one by one
Left eye
Right eye
Salty
They slowly absorb into the old canopies of red and black cloth
I feel empty
Emptier than a jar of raspberry jam on a summer morning on the farm
I feel emptier than a body without a soul
Let me go
Help me escape from these waves of chaos
Don’t you ever
Don’t you ever remind me of the past
The past is the past
The past is last years autumn
And this years foggy winter
I will throw a thousand wishes into the starry night sky
Hoping that you and I will last forever
This is a beautiful poem. I know the melancholia. I know the hope. I know the resolution. Sighhhhhhh :)
