Dust to Dust

About the beginning and end of a love affair.

Dust to Dust

 

 

Twirling specks of dust

dance inside our view

with that wanderlust

that once held us too.

 

Pirouette,

play roulette

till sunset.

 

Once a lovely gust,

powerful and true,

joined the two of us

into something new.

 

A strong jet

may beget

a duet.

 

Underneath our crust,

our devotions grew.

Wonder, love, and trust

filled us through and through.

 

Once we met,

our kismet

was reset.

 

Finally we were thrust

into a hot flue

that made us combust

into residue.

 

This upset

made us sweat,

and forget.

[Tina Kline]

A very unique and creative way to describe the beginning and ending of relationships.
I enjoyed reading this.

[Aethereal]

Thanks for your review, Tina! Everything in our universe is in some kind of relationship with everything else. Perhaps if the smallest thing were missing, then all of the Constants of Nature would change to the degree that everything would cease to exist. Everything is supremely essential to everything else, a Synergy of Endearment.

[WordlessFacade]

Great poem! It was beautifully written. :)

Intelligent, rhythmic and robust. You do it perfect...:)..................

[Aethereal]

Thanks for your detailed review, Sami! Kismet is word derived from the Arabic language, "qisma". Languages are always embracing each other as they procreate new words.

[Sami Khalil]

You are so right. You know I write poetry in Arabic too...Take care..:)....................

[Aethereal]

I know you do. Arabic has roots that go back to that extinct language spoken in ancient Mesopotamia when a Cradle of Civilization called Sumer was a fertile paradise between two beautiful rivers. There’s an historically inducted touch of Sumer in each of us in the West.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. So true and well read. ( Still spoken by 300 million people and 1.6 billion Muslim as their second or third language...)Grazie Mille...:)............

[Aethereal]

I wonder how many Arabic words have no English translation? Perhaps they're only translatable thorough metaphors. Much is lost through translation. The past is buried under heavy sands of confusion and conformity.

[Sami Khalil]

I wonder too. A good book to write or even poem. Sands of confusion...:)..................

[Ghost of Jupiter]

Wonderful write, that captures beauty even in dust... when seen glittering through rays of light it can be quite lovely in my opinion. Your gorgeous meter plays well throughout your poem and is a true display of your brilliance, yet again. Love this, you continue to amaze me with your work.

[Aethereal]

Thanks for you detailed review, Kalypso! Those beams of light that make all things visible would never be visible in themselves without the intervention of fog and dust. Finally, dressed in glitter, all my little dust specks dance the minuet at sunset.

[Ghost of Jupiter]

Such lovely images you paint, it is a delight to read your thoughts.

[Pryde Foltz]

Once we met,
our kismet
