The Clutch of Driftwood

Despite its shape
I am content
with this
the appearance of assortment.
I need that,
and in its deficit,
complex and sinuous,
want
the windbreak.

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul

Hello Bob, how are you? Hope all is well.

You say much with such concise word usage.

I love the idea of driftwood as a metaphor. Perfect, somehow, or imperfect, as driftwood is.

Captivating.  I enjoyed this poem.

Yv-Goddess of Her Domain. Symbol of Truth Passion Pain. Let Her Smile Rain on the Hearts of the Innocent.

"I am content"

yes, you know exactly how to say it.

Despite what you may think, you have not been forsaken...life has just gotten so hectic..

Yes, alive and kickin', Bob, thank you. A time of transition, but then, I guess that is the status quo. Thank you for asking!
