A poem attempting to go up a ladder of sorts and down.


A whisper so soft
That silence will listen

>A vibration so soft
>That it is never be felt

>>A light so dim
>>That you cannot see it

>>>I smell your aroma fill the room
>>>But mothballs have taken you away

>>>>I picture you in my mind
>>>>But quicksand draws you out

>>>>>I reach for you
>>>>>But you fade away

>>>>>>I see you before me
>>>>>>But my eyes are blinded

>>>>>>>In a spark things can change

>>>>>>For my sight has been restored
>>>>>>But you have left me

>>>>>Every time I turn you are there
>>>>>>And you will not go away

>>>>You haunt my mind excessively
>>>>And magnetism keeps drawing you back

>>>Your presence is felt inside
>>>Wanting you next to me

>>So I keep my lights on at all times
>>As to be aware of everything

>Music rocking so hard
>That it is felt everywhere

A voice so sweet
That silence will not take you in

This is wonderful, and so true, the waves of longing for someone come and go like this.
