Where Ambrosia rests her soft curls
No longer can matter
No longer will she sleep beside me

You fail to pulsate within me
You fail to radiate dayglow

You fail

Never again will I pause
In that sacred spot where my head meets
The softness below your clavicle

Even if ivory raindrops
Could fall from bright blue eyes
And land on my head

I would only wait

And watch you stare down your sunsets
Ready for that violent burst

I, curled in silken lavender
Holding a strange sort of angel

I will pray
(I never pray)

That you will recede from this shore gently
That only days will pass

That ending is beginning
And beginnings never end

Such wonderful thoughts throughout this whole poem especially the ending!
I loved it!

I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them!

It is a wonderfully written poem, with hope greatly expressed. and sometimes we can only hope.

Tossing words like wishful coins into the deep well of an open heart. R. fox

'You fail'

I like the succint placing of these two words that say so much.

It is all a cycle isn't it?

All in all, a well-wrought piece of work Jannel.

The wind shifts like this:
Like a human without illusions...
This is how the wind shifts:
Like a human, heavy and heavy,
Who does not care.

~Jannel,...what a treasure this piece is! So glad that I came in. You know,...the overall tone and placing of the words completes this with a wrapping and a bow. It's beautiful the images you formed with your words. This here, is a poem I'll read again for sure. *Peace.

thank you all very much. this is very close to me right now. i recenlty stopped dating someone, but we stayed close, and now that i am seeing someone else, i feel that we have lost the connection that we had that was so wonderful that i thought transcended our dating. this is for him.
