A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto


heart prints

 

 

your slight smile 

only circumstantial evidence

but i don't need much clue

of you,

 

to probe more deeply

into love 

once a cold case

 

now warming 

to symbiotic solution.

Love the title... You say a lot in few words. You express deep feelings yet use language like 'circumstantial evidence', and other allusions to forensics in your description of the progression of these love feelings :) It works well...

sometimes (thankfully) it does not take much to warm a heart again, as long as indelible footprints have been left in the soul to begin with.

It is amazing how many times the heart can be resurrected. It's a good thing that it never truly dies, just sleeps.

An interesting point of view, Jacob. It was a pleasure to read.

it seems like a slide unplanned, unannounced just coming into awareness and suddenly its I and Thou. I felt like your poem slipped just like it does in life.

It's okay to be friends and to be friends rather than lovers is better for some relationships, perhaps though not that wanted by one of the two. The smile is a nice gesture, the love never really was that HOT?
Okay, we're gonna be friends - I can see it coming.......LOL
Great write Jacob!

They aren't really mine, they are yours! I just repeated what was so true:)
Hmmmm.....a love that is no more and suddenly a smile lights the spark all over again. Symbiotic....I believe a lot of relationships fit that description. We use people, but if they use us in return, well, is there a problem with this? Lydi*
