Leakage

Leakage

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto


Leakage   

 

 

when it comes to your love

my heart is like a screen

trying to stave off a pelting rain

 

i have no storm window defense---

 

you are the torrential difference

that floods my emotions.

I have seen so many beautiful girls in cover magazine s. But I have never been really in the midst and presence of areal tangible one. I heard about a list of the most beautiful girl in the world . Theres one girl in the ancient times that has both beauty and character and it was the one that captivated King Xeres heart . Ester winsome appeal is both a jaggernaut and ravaging . I would feel the same in the presence. of one . I like the word " torrential " ..The gutter can he overwhelmed by it ...

You made me wonder if the love that the subject was being lashed with was good or bad. I like the imagery. You might need to get a handyman. CD

Do we really all live in that yellow submersible marine vehicle after all?
There is no holding it back.

thank you for your kind words, Chris.

a very tender, yet artful approach to love, to poetry writing, to rain, to the torrent of nature,
to replacement windows, to someone else. I have come, over the past few years to expect
nothing else from you but the deepest sway, the most analytical swathe and the most adorned
swaddle.

your amazing....dana

Very interesting. I enjoy the metaphor and find it quite appropriate. Short and too the point. A very enjoyable read.
