Over Fill


a letter
to whom it may concern
on flowing cotton ivory sheets
formed of the deepest black
words of never to be read
swirls stop in distant wind
abruptly short of the howling
gray rain it pours in sunlight
a place of forgotten comfort
I use to like the droplet rain
to wash layers unsettled dust
it’s just a collected crying sky
soaking way beneath the skin
each drop filling small spaces
to the point of over fill


"no darkness has ever been deep enough to extinguish my personal knowledge of love"  Anne Rice

S_L,

Your words are like a free-form waltz across my mind... spilling over into the moment.

1slick_lady,

This is a good stream of consciousness poem.  It works well, and is very interesting.
