Listen

i'm sipping on
a week of love
in a single smile.

my souls delight,
somewhere
in a foreign rain.

i left you there,
in the night
you slept, I wept.

there were lights
far away lights
around me.

i thought i heard
your voice
in the distance.

i close my eyes
and feel your lips
so close to mine.

you're always with me,
listen, can't you hear
the beat of my heart.

Goosebumps are the words that dance on your skin...when you can't hear the message. Your soul can hear what your body can't. Incoherent banter that sings epidermisly, a journey's jaunt with ones spirit.

Your poem really inspired me. I enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.

The protagonist appears on cloud nine with overwhelming feelings of love for another whom they have had to leave behind. All the feelings still raw and bold and savoured like a great meal. You capture the very essence in this piece Izzy.
