aisles, i'll's, and isles between

aisles, i'll's, and isles between

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

aisles, i'll's, and isles between

 

 

 

imagine

if a touch didn't ignite

if lips met, there was just indifference

if words of sentiment were absorbed into deaf ears

if eyes didn't lie

if arms couldn't quite reach

 

imagine

then

look at me

 

look at you

 

and forget we ever said

"i do"---

The line that breaks my heart when reading this is

If words of sentiment were absorbed into deaf ears

That’s an ocean of cold water between you, my friend. Here’s wishing happiness for both of you and the partners you choose in the future.

Your sadness reached into every one of us, Jacob. Amazing write.

From the first attraction to the point of not caring anymore and getting a divorce....your words take us through it all. I like the word play in the title! Lydi**

J,
Think I got the meaning in your title. The wedding bliss . . . the marriage blues, and everything that tries to come between, the loss of passion, caring and the desire to stay in the midst of change.

You're wecome c: Please check out my new poem 'Women and men' you might like it or not haha
Complacency, lack of intimacy and bingo you've hit the unhappy jackpot. Relationships are difficult. They have to be worked at, they can not be allowed to meander aimlessly like my poetry:) I shivered as I read your lines Jacob.

thank you for your reaction...sorry to make you shiver, Chris.

May a woman speak without being told to disappear, please? What happened to ' it takes two to tango', j.? How sad it is when either one forgets the steps, slips then - skids to a halt. Does that mean the music stops, the echoes gone forever? The heart's merely another part of human nature, surely... just as pain is. The run to the exit might - if a key still be in the lock, be less trap than a means of stepping across space and trying to find what went AWOL. Perhaps?
