Ghiaccio Italiano Pt 2

I came across a fallen tree, I felt the branches of it looking at me. Is this the place we used to love? Is this the place that I've been dreaming of? - Keane

Sorry, I wouldn't have told you to go if I was busy

I've been searching for years

For something to please me

Maybe I was preoccupied in my dreams

But this is something with a means

A means to an end

An eternity kind of best friend

I just can't get enough of all these

Purple hugs

And summer bugs

How'd you know you're all I want

Haunting me in some grocery mart

Charming in a way, I don't understand

But you lent me your hand

Who needs comparisons

When I can just stare into those big eyes

The end of summer and success in Italian Ice

These stone moon nights filled with writes about you

My chains and walls are spinning 

Because I thought of you 

My ears are numb and tingling

From over exposure to your voice

Like my heart could ever get enough

Like my brain could kick this addiction

The chorus and choirs tell me

I don't need to be upset about anything

I'm still high off of you

Incense ashes in my brain

The vent in the back

In the hidden home

Somewhere I believe we both belong

Maybe it was your voice

Maybe it was when you could either kick me out

Or keep me in and you made a choice

I wanna be with you 

When the nightly rain air pour in

You're mine when it's storming

It's pouring

When you're snoring

When the purple days go boring

Lightning strikes

The signal to fight for you

You gave me your favorite doll

It might seem small

But I search endlessly through my disruptive train of thoughts for what made me fall

Cause I wanna know

Maybe that's the point though

Cause in the end 

You turned me into a baby

Something I always wanted

And now your feet are planted firm into the ground besides me

You can bet I'll never leave

And you're gonna do the same, I see.

Sorry if I haven't been super active on here! I'll be reading and reviewing soon. I have so much poetry to put up too, it's just a matter of putting it all together! Have a wonderful day, stay safe, and make sure you eat and hydrate!

A beautiful allegory of trees standing by each other, supporting one another, having feelings for one another through thick and thin, just as lovers do; the love the feel the smell the taste, the laughs the moods and all. Your descriptions are lovely and the metaphor is perfect.
Please write more, I love your poetry!
Best, B.

Congratulations on having your work read on diverse TV. I saw a couple of other writers here in our community who also had their poetry highlighted on the channel as well. This reflects very well to Writerscafe and the art that is submitted. The talent here only appears to grow.

Thank you so much! This is such a kind review and I’ve noticed too! Anytime I see someone with their work featured I make sure to congratulate them. Thank you so much!

I also really like your rhyming in this with a nice sprinkling of slant rhyme.

a best friend can be like a tree planted next to us...both grow, both bud, both shed with heartbreak, both stick around.
We are best friends forever....that is a comforting thought...
Season after season, breath after breath...we have someone to lean on.
