Listening to every heart

Tête-à-têtes

                      Splintered facets keeping a soul together...

It was
just a conversation
of slivered roles in life

of why truths are kept hidden,
so pain seems
minimal,
until the end…

layered considerations of why
some events are executed
to keep a soul
intact…

but what mattered, mostly,
was her tacit understanding;
no need to talk, really,
no need.

Which is why rose emotion
blushed full pink, full closure in
throat knowing intimacy,
and why vast miles withered,
by stretch of love,
and you seemed only but
an embrace away.

felt deeply here too; just the way it was set up and the flow of it, very naturally off the pen to the reader's inside

A layered message in an electronic bottle being sent to someone across miles, I suspect. A friend, an old friend, perhaps?

This is very mysterious, this!

Such a meeting is surely to be treasured...I've had few and blundered away most of them. Still, I do see at least one face that matches these words, and others that might match if only my vision were clearer.

As you always do, you've caught the critical moment and made it real.

this was interesting. the poem tell us what the tete a tete did but does not expose it. it was almost like you were teasing us - making us feel as if we got it all when we only got one narrow view.
