Tomb

Ramblings of a tired mind. Spontaneous write.

how meaningless 

everything seems; 

life a full stop, 

and bodiless souls 

break midair, 

sentences lag 

behind mouths 

tracing and clutching 

upon thin air; 

exhaled, 

and what 

could have been a 

tiresome rant, 

oddly satisfying 

in some way, 

still kept; 

the heart 

a tomb, 

with markings 

engraved 

and tears, 

my tears, which resemble 

the gentle outpour of rain.

I missed being here...

I very much missed our Café & still have little black-outs where I wonder how long it will be gone this time!?!? Glad to be back & reading you again. This is a graceful scattering of sweet drops which can be read in a variety of ways. For me, it feels like a prolonged bout of sighing on account of the way things can feel jarring & maybe even not worth participating in, with the way intolerance can be bantered about in our day-to-day interactions. Sometimes it's better to just have a little crying jag & rinse away the frustrations! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I think you summarized it pretty nicely.
And yes, I missed the cafe too, and was frustrated to find it down whenever I tried logging in. Glad it seems okay now :D
Thank you so much for your words here, BG. Appreciated (:

Sometimes, emotions lie quiet, exhausted perhaps, stretched beyonds what- and wherever. No further comment, think these words echo betwen their own space. Not going to guess although...

As akways, you've shared what you can - for now. Hugs for a better moment. Me, Em .

I feel it's better getting it out in which ever way than keeping it in. .. Thank you so much for your empathetic words, Em. Always appreciated x

Perhaps that's our difference - at least most of the time; neither right nor wrong. Have a sweet day. :)

Such an emotional, melancholy write that many can relate it, even myself! Yumna, you're a great poet! Keep it up!! :)
Glab you're back

sublime Doc...some things are not meant to be shared says i....even for the poets and songwriters ;) V2 made me think of "morning breath" and too groggy to put thoughts together at all ... need coffee ;)
but the rest turned to such deep introspection ..disregarding those internal/external rants we all drive ourselves crazy with ... spontaneous can sometimes be the very best eh!? enjoyed reading for sure

:p haha I think I was a bit groggy too while writing this piece...😛
Thank you so much for your words here, Einstein. Glad you enjoyed :)

This is such an intense poem with emotion conveyed strongly in every stanza it leaves me captivated - I'm not even kidding. The second and fourth stanzas resonate with me the strongest and the final stanza is absolutely powerful. I'm honestly wondering if I can think of something that could even come close to the power of that writing. There are such good writers here... awesome work! :)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you so much for appreciating this piece, Lavi. Glad it resonated with you :)
