"Midnight's Aren't So Sweet Anymore..."

"Midnight's Aren't So Sweet Anymore..."

A Poem by Chris
"

Monday morning thoughts

"
This is for you - well, you KNOW who you are... and so do I.

"Midnights Aren't So Sweet Anymore..."
Yet another dark's Midnaught 
revery 
on a coffee morning... 
life as we find in a moment's silence
and yet we are so unique in our darks,
within our ...echoes.
...continuing as we go...
Yours is 
yours and unlike 
mine or hers or theirs 
AND theirs 
are unlike ours as well 
and yet we share 
such sunrise and the rising wisp 
of fading dreams and memories 
- within coffee's grip.
I hear the voices
of life in death -
each as crystal - chalice clear,
as my eyes scratch a path deep
so very hurt full ...deep
behind the echoes fading as they fall
in and ever in
...memories one ...and all.
I loved you, love you...
breathe you...see you - still
...why not me...why not
me?  So many I's in you.
I wasn't innocent ...enough, 
nor good ...enough,
nor the one deserving stars and dreams.
I just am left ...shaking
in the night; standing,
waiting, counting unshared memories,
living with the shadows,
crying with the whispers filling
the midnights left living
wishing... needing...
missing...
all our dreams.

After reading your pieces.. the quiet is a bit quieter.. because I am listening to your thoughts.. it seems.. I should be taking a sip of tea, and continuing a conversation that will go on for hours.

Yours is
yours and unlike
mine or hers or theirs
AND theirs
are unlike ours as well
and yet we share
such sunrise and the rising wisp
of fading dreams and memories
- within coffee's grip.

Magnificent! Other than the fact it reminded me that I had no coffee today.. N craving for some.. This has nice flow.. from reflecting our thoughts for the days as they are to the melancholy deep within .. living with it.. questioning, sharing, sad, smiling.. Great write! Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely beautiful.

^I love this stanza because while it has that confusing tone, it flows nicely. Very well-writen.

takes a lifetime - sometimes ours too.
Stunning as always, would expect nothing less. The disappointment in life is all too real and reminds us, if we choose to let it, how lacking we are...

This writing penetrated deeply and gently, making its way around my soul and consciousness. I suspect I'll be feeling its imprint for some time. Marvellous imagery - the coffee morning; my eyes scratch a deep path - just masterful in their simplicity and unpretentious beauty. Lovely work, Chris.

A brilliant poem with a lot of depth. Love the structure.

Posted 9 Years Ago


I should set "Why" free...
It sits and stands
And sleeps beside
My living being..me

Some day soon
All that "We" knew
Will float far from our thoughts
And You and me
Won't even know
That pain that joy
That once
Was..

Thanks Chris, for sharing YOU........Jazz♥
