~ Soft Whispers

 

 

Soft sounds,

Rippling, like fingers

On a table

 

Long pauses, silence…

Returning rhythms,

The whirl of thoughts

 

Of you in me...

 

I hear you for years,

In nights, like these

 

Before the moon is full,

Do you want 

           To tell me something?

 

“Tell it to me,

            Say it!”


Stop whispering…!

 

You can trust me,

The sea is ours

 

And I was there for centuries,

But your name was the future,

 

Like a mirror of the ocean,

 

Now we will never be

Together, my own soul,

 

My previous life...

Featured Review

I love the vastness of this poem. It uses references to such a wide expanse as a backdrop and it really is a benefit to what I am feeling that you are meaning. The contrast between vast and specific, centuries of time and things that happen in a moment...the wide expanse of the sea and the specificity of fingers tapping on a table, it all adds to the feeling of the depths of this emotion. You have made me realize something about writing; I need to take an idea from music and use it in my poetry. In musical recordings there is something they call the "Pad" in the background. It is not an instrument. Instead it is the collective "background noise" which the producer/sound engineer has built into a feeling. The Pad includes the echo of a wide opened room, or the immediacy of the feeling the singer is right there in bed with you. All these feelings are part of it. If you hear a seagull just for as second in a song, then you immediately think of that song as taking place at the beach. In the case of this poem, the clever "pad" you set down of vast time depth and wide ranges of distance really supported the themes well.

I had to slow down and read this word by word! The flow of perceiving images with your words was nice...I wonder the metaphor.

I can relate to this beautiful poem in so many ways Elisa. It is as if you have taken a peek into my heart.

The dream like feel of your words is almost as though a whisper - or a soft breath in the moonlight.
You have so much talent. You never cease to amaze me.

This reminds me of an old soul speaking to us, whispering soft voices reminding us like dejavu of the past as if we did something from the previous life that we did today. Very nice!

Rest, no need for hurry I will be "around" for awhile...
This is one of those things you just can't simply read. You have to feel your way through each word and line and it doesn't feel as though it ends but continues on with a life of it's own after all is said. Excellent and groovy and did I mention brilliant? :) The video is awesome to!
