Paying no notice we layed awake talking
our limbs comfortably intertwined
Bodies bathed in waning silver light

Dreams and nightmares were uttered
Brought forth into the world
Shared by young lovers
To this day I vividly recall

The walls you barraged fell
Exposing the vulnerable child inside
I wept pouring out my emotion
That last time you held me

But now I lay in that bed
The place you occupied is empty
Thinking of those times we shared
In isolation the walls fall again

Tonight my tears are not tinged with joy
At finally being released to another
This time my tears are hot
Burning tracks down my face

I throw your picture at the wall
As if shattering a frame could make you go away
But your presence remains here
A dark whisper, a familiar scent

I know you did not want to leave me
But nothing changes that you are gone
I am all alone yet again

I've read some poems on here that are not, shall I say, intelligent. I've read some that are ridiculously pretentious. However, your writing is intelligent, but not pretentious. I see you are from Oregon, and indeed you write in an 'American' way. It's raw, it's pure, it lacks the bull (insert naughty word-ending here) that can be found in poetry like mine. It feels sincere to me, it feels honest. And that's a refreshing quality.

Deeply sad but deeply beautiful in its construction. I hope you have found your peace, but continue to write. This is well done.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
