The room gasped
collectively
as wind,
drowned space

A gyre of incitement
sucked
halfcocked
and wholeheartedly
swirls,
engulped

Eyes fixed,
silence
broken

As a bawl
bounces
off wall and
drum

The bum,
is
slapped

While consciousness
pens,
its first sentience

An acquaintance of air
and beat

Flow, and
ebb

A current of
tomorrows
fit,
to be tide

The river dew
cut,

and cried.

We use up all
our credit
as we try
to buy

Hello

Too bad with our
consignment
we cant
even,
rent
to own

Owning,
is a word
that we all made up,
in a dream

Even joy and
sorrow,
is a wealth,
we only,
borrow

Life is just
one

fleeting gulp
of dusty laden,
windsong

That part
of powder
blew

That mirrors,
the sea

Because it saw
its best part
in the reflection

One chance
is all,
we get

To feel that
color of heaven
fill
and surge,
within our
body

Throughout
and
through in

Before we have to
kiss it
goodbye

I held in her
sent,
as long as I
could

As it became,
me

Hopefully
in ways,
becoming
to her

As well,
sometimes

But time’s hit
half way
and I’m starting,
to exhale

My one breath
of life,
has given
me all

It’s time for me
to let it,
be

A peace now,
again
of sky

I loved reading this out loud to myself. The flow of words sing off my tongue. I particulary loved the picture at the bottom of the poem. Too often the pictures at the beginning distract me from the poetry and influence what I think of the poem. Great surprise at the end.

So well written, but I think yours always are well written. You have a gift.
