you words are leaves
strewn across an empty street
beautiful but lifeless

desperation isn't love

Desperation isn't love, but love can bring desperation....and leaves fall both ways, if you wait for them. I have seen it myself.

(big hugggssssssss) Yes, love is more about waiting patiently as each leaf falls and letting each one run its own course until finally each leaf is free! (sigh) There there's no desperation, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Raphael, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

you words are leaves
strewn across an empty street
beautiful but lifeless

desperation isn't love

so much said in so few but eloquent words....
and yes, i wonder too, in their beautyy as they scatter the ground, are they alive or dead....when they could take off and "see"
places only i could imagine

Such a powerful image you created .... I can feel the cold breeze of loneliness.

Desperation is a moment of detachment from LOVE  ....

Sei malinconico.
Un abbraccio. Margherita

Hope the cold is better Raph...

nice and tight, this one, no wasted words and strong in images...

brings to mind several thoughts that springboard off the premise, so for me..it is inspiration and insight..

enjoyed..

The way you move me
I walk with your shadow
With your silhouette
Leave the light on
It always comes
Back to you

In desperation I made a bad mistake
My whole illusion melted like a flake

A flake of snow that once fell on my toe

Your poem is beautiful, mine is what happened to me. Thank God life goes on.
