Echo's Just Dont Lie

dont try this at home ..

Echo’s Just Don’t Lie

 

The big house empty

now echoes

like a foundry with

its molten

pools of golden light

and

individual discarded

memories

each now falling

but slowly  

upwards in cascades ..

And yes,

despite the absence

of any lilies

in the garden and us

being on

the cusp of yet another

summer ..

This is indeed how

love feels

when on the verge

of its being broken ..

Yes love

do come listen to these

echoes calling ..

they have a secret for you darling ..

Falling upwards in cascades. I am quite taken by that line and feel there is a deeper meaning. There is a sadness here, no lilies, an empty house and despite bring on the cusp of summer, there are only echoes of the past. A relationship hanging on by a thread I would say if it has not already snapped. Beautiful expression and poignant with it Neville.

oooooooooo especially taken by the cascades moving up .. the imaging in the empty house with spots of golden light here and there making dust iridescent ..but your closing is killer for me .. could be that deep love still felt .. or a bit ominous says i! i like this one a lot sir! but then all your poems are satisfying in the read .. peace and joy brother!!

Ah, those echoes! They can't be denied - even if we don't want to hear them! Deeply sad, but sadly real for many people at some time in their lives. A poignant poem, my friend!

I know this sadness. The echoes remind us of what once was but, linger in that space that was once occupied by that special someone……a continuous reminder. This is beautiful and enjoyed the read.

Those echoes can mess us up. Sometimes the devil or the mind telling us. To do bad things or maybe good things Neville. Thank you my friend for sharing the amazing poetry.

Walls do speak, flowers do speak, everything speaks, the air, the space, the silence... they hold the sincere memories and echo them back. I wasn't expecting from your title to read something like this. hauntingly beautiful and sad. it feels as if Love has left and there is nothing to do but to allow these echos to prove the truest of Love that once was there.

[Neville]

your words have touched me deeply my friend and are responsible for the smile I wear as I make my weary way to bed ........... and I thank you for each one of them ........... Neville :)

[lightsong]
