In Red...

Strong and tall
you built impenetrable walls,
you invited me in
to sit with you for a while,
when truly a moment was all you had...

With a dysfunctional heart, I knew
I was facing the inevitable winds of change,
as we slipped through the cracks of time
I struggled to memorize your smile...

To remember every soft line, every whisper;
when you told me you loved me,
why did you blind my eyes?
blurring hues of red...

Your unspoken words,
I turn them over and over
inside my head,
as Autumn begs to move on...

You wrote, You penned, You dropped and You just pasted this write with your beautiful heart. I love this poem, My "Chill-Pill" :) You Rocking!

Heart's what that wants beat with the beat of "Red", love's what that feels that feel of "Red" and the "Quill" is what that combines the mixture of 'Heart with love' with her kindness, with her love, with her heart and of course with her cold soul into the words and then her words become poem and her poem touches my heart with the cold breeze of "My Chill-Pill's" Beauty :)

Clinging to the fragile echoes of sweet whispers, the memories dissolving into a haze of vague recollection. Time and change ignore our wants and desires, and march on unrelenting. Beautifully written and keenly poignant. Well done :)

[Quill~]

:) thanks for your beautiful review Matt.

Autumn should be warm and cozy but it does usually go out with a stormy blizzard.
sometimes the seasons can be fickle as a wandering lover.

:) thanks for your kind words.

I really like this piece. It reminds me of getting dumped. It's not a great feeling. It is very liberating on the other hand. I read over your words and noticed you struggled with the plurality and assimilation of this issuance. Consider that as you were writing this, perhaps there were other feelings hindering this piece from perfection...

[Quill~]

:) thanks for leaving your thoughts.

Dear Quill~

What a painful, but honest write from you. Sometimes love is so hard, and unpredictable, at times, we just don't understand love, or love does us.... your words are shiver paintings, for the person here... I think these lines will touch. I'm sure. Beautiful work.

This is such a beautiful wandering about the way a mind thinks when it has been touched by love. Some many questions bloom in this garden awaiting fall to come along and change the colors of our imagintion, filling it with a new collection of visions and aromas to help us along on our journey.

Simply beautiful Quill.

[Quill~]
