Keep prisoner

I did not

Fed you the breeze
in every moment of aired grief upon the white skinned pages

Walked with you imaginary side by side
crunching autumn leaves
meeting, greeting
without you


Mentioning you frequently
grimace as I did
knowing you taboo
outside confines of my mind


I let you anyway
spill from
and roam

Present in the rustle of leaves
the hum of traffic
and tap of impatient nail

I will tell the moving days
each and every one
that I loved you.

Thankyou so much, all your replies mean much to me y know?

Ethel inspired this one, with her poems, she made me think this morning, how important it is to tell the people you love that you do.

I suppose this doesnt reflect that, but ah, this is what came out.

I love what you do with words.

Present in the rustle of leaves
the hum of traffic
and tap of impatient nail

I will tell the moving days
each and every one
that I loved you.


Yes!

whose cooking  smells good
but which way the wind blows
