An Undelivered Poem

A Poem by Colton Warr

I feel unsettled and missing

Like a nomad traveling through an unknown land

Nettled and Reminiscing 

I once knew every small texture of your hand

I feel confused and paranoid

Like a man who had just committed murder

Fused and Destroyed 

My mind does everything to preserve her 

I feel soulless and guilty

Like the Grim Reaper who comes to take 

Boneless and Filthy 

I am broken in ways I did not know I could break 

I feel stressed and disturbed 

Like a student before the final exam

Oppressed and Perturbed 

I think I have given you all that I am

*****

Could I ask?

Do you sometimes feel as if you’re going through the motions?

Drink from my flask

I beg to again be lost within your ocean

Could I touch?

Do you sometimes reach out for my face with your hand?

Your hearts clutch

Shackle me in, never again to disband 

Could I kiss?

Do you sometimes still gaze into nothing, wishing it was me?

I guess I miss,

Whenever you were the only thing I would ever see

Amazing poetry my friend. You brought me in and held me to the last words.
"Could I touch?
Do you sometimes reach out for my face with your hand?
Your hearts clutch
Shackle me in, never again to disband
Could I kiss?"
The above lines are amazing. I could write a complete poem from these words and emotion. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

Thank you so much, Coyote! I'm happy you enjoyed this poem! Your words are always so kind and encouraging, I deeply appreciate that! The emotion was strong in this one for me and these words cut deep. If you remember my poem "She is..." This is about the same girl, we are no longer together and it is from my doing. Even after all that she is still my muse though, isn't that interesting? Thanks for stopping by and giving this a read, my friend!

This is an amazing piece of literary genius! Well done. I especially liked where you used everyday images to describe the speakers emotions. It connects the reader, and therefore allow them to relate, since they have experienced it before.
This is really wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing this piece with the world.

[Colton Warr]

Each stanza contained an emotion that compelled the reader to go on and feel the sorrow that the words contained. It was a great poem.

It was my pleasure Colton. It was a splendid poem.

[The Waterlily Pad]

Omg... XD beautiful in everyway. Your poem must be Google... Because it has everything I'm searching for XD. But seriously, it flows and isn't consistent in rhythm, it creatively moves the persons thoughts whilst placing the reader in the poet's shoes. It takes you to another place and shows your romantic character 😜. Very refreshing 👏🏼👍🏻

[Colton Warr]

This is absolutely amazing! I can feel the protagonist's wistful emotions leaving the poem and hitting me hard in the gut. It's absolutely beautiful, and you're very talented, my friend.

This is so beautiful . It physically hurt me when I read the lines, "I once knew every small texture of your hand," and "My mind does everything to preserve her," and "I am broken in ways I did not know I could break."
You've absolutely captured the hollow pain of loss, those moments you spend alone desperate to have them back, for everything to be the way it was once. I also love the line, "Drink from my flask?" and how it's followed with, "I beg to again to lost within your ocean." because when you're apart from someone you feel so empty and dried up, and they, seeming like the source of your joy, seem plentiful and abundant. Lovely poem.

[Colton Warr]

Thank you so very much, Ashley!! I am forever grateful for this magical review! Thank you so much for the kind and encouraging words! This review made my evening! I'm so happy you enjoyed this piece! I'm glad you could feel the emotion wrapped within every word. I'm glad you could relate to this pain and understand it the way you did. Thank you so much for the read and the kind review!

[Ashley Flynn]

Of course! Any time :)

I love the rhythm and raw emotion of this poem. We all have those loved ones in our lives, whom we regret not saying either goodbye, or I love you to. It seems I too, have An Undelivered Poem on the apex of my heart, which I will (regrettingly) never get to proclaim.

[Colton Warr]

Thank you very much, my friend! I'm glad you could feel the raw emotion within these words. You're exactly right, we all do have at least one person whom we love and regret not getting the last chance to say something or try and right a wrong. Perhaps one day, the time will be right for you to unleash your undelivered poem. Thank you so much for giving this a read!

[Writergirl]

I'm glad you enjoyed this piece and I'm glad you enjoy my writing. I'm glad you were able to relate to the emotion within these words. I appreciate you putting this in your favorites and I am forever grateful for your read and kind review!
