Abstract Lives

Abstract Lives

A Poem by Moonflower

We were born

 

Crawling out of the

Illusions

 

I never knew

 

You

were Here.

 

Waiting for

my arrival

 

Time

is just an

acquiescent

 

Flooding over,

Pulling Tides

 

The Moon rose

High

over roof tops

 

Houses all

in a row

 

What if we didn't

 

...exist?

 

My Love,

My confidant.

 

There isn't any

explanation

 

For this.

Featured Review

Spare, eloquent, haunting. Spelling: "acquiescent."

What strikes this reader is the contrast between "Abstract Lives" and the delicate soulfulness of the poem, underlining the strangeness of existence, that observation is not merely detached, but subtly feels.

Elegant and beautiful.

This is a beautiful picture, painted in words. Having said that, the last 3 lines kind of threw me off, I am the type who always seeks an explanation even when there is none to be found. Really nice poem tho! :)

there is a brilliant phantom lure here that draws the reader's mind into the world of shadows and moonlight and emotions dipped in shade~

The first sentence was superb, I enjoyed reading it n then the middle part left me a bit off 'cause it seems like it went away for awhile. But then things started to catching up again and the awesomeness return..

Hurm..what to say, good read...
