Slow Fade

darling, one request

walk the line of a slow fade

take the direction to the forest 

furthest away from me

this push pull has worn me to disfunction 

I pull, you push

to have you by my side 

for you to have another

walk the line of a slow fade 

take the direction 

furthest away from me

take the route - I shall watch you go 

exhausted is my outpouring of love 

replenished sparingly by your frugal heart

darling fade

dissipate from my reality 

allow the nothingness creep into your

lips, body, flesh and soul

fall down 

decompose, rot into this earth 

allow me to watch you become nothing

it is the only way to accept

you were never ever here with me to begin

I did like the amazing dance of words. Honest thoughts led to an honest ending. All things fade to less with time. Thank you, my friend, for sharing the amazing poetry.

This speaks so eloquently! And we seem to always be walking the line that fades gradually. Thanks for sharing

A poem about love, but written in an original way, without unnecessary glitz, sugar and pathos. You have a really good workshop. Greetings!

[KWP]

why thank you lovely one ... sometimes love is just that, the basics of living and breathing ... sometimes it is so much more ... we should always allow it to be the more X

[Einstein Noodle]

powerful ... very emotive ... the tragedy of an unbalanced relationship clearly defined .. and such vengeance says i, in closing .. go now .. go far .. keep going .. rot and fade from me .. wow!! great stuff, ma'am ... the poet speaks ;)

Simply awesome lines here, this could stand alone as a poem by itself,

simply wonderful writing

[KWP]

Oh thanks so much for stopping by - your brevity is something I could learn from - I just don't know when to stop
:)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

the last three lines could stand alone as a poem....so effective how you end things...
the relationship and the poem, as well.
I have allowed feelings to decompose, those of exes.

[Gee]

Hmmmm, there goes another, wanted more than needed but this not realised until the tears stopped and the heart ceased to ache.
How are ya keeping m'dear ?
Has Aussie day been hijacked by the pc brigade?

[KWP]

Aussie day was a bright sunny day … the conversation is shifting from Invasion Day to One Mob, which os all very positive, however, i reckon for a feeling of inclusiveness we should actually change the date.

All well this side, getting used to a covid norm - looking forward to another travel adventure.

How’s you and the fam?

[Gee]

All good here. Wife and ma in law had a brief fling with Covid, me and the child are resisting( 21 year old child)
Big 60 in April so am off to Naples and Rome in Feb, surprise in April, 500 mile bike ride over 5 days, Bordeaux to Barcelona, in May, Ascot horse racing in June, Portugal in July, another surprise in September, Ireland in October then relaxxxxxxxxxx....I'm very much spoiled :))

[Gee]

Where to on your next adventure and who with m'dear

[KWP]

You know I feel hiking in Norway calling me - or at least staying on an outpost house facing the ocean fro some time. I also feel India calling, but India always calls. Australia has been locked down for so long I would be happy with anywhere - maybe an Island in Thailand with my boys 20 & 21 with their GF's is an option for next summer.

PS when you say biking do you mean push or motor?

[Gee]

Push bike, sore arse and aching shoulder blades :)
The good lady went to the North of Norway to see the Northern lights, pulled by huskies in a fur covered sled.
She also went to Iceland but never got to see the lights.
I don't do snow or cold in anyway shape or form :)
February 2023 we are supposedly Thailand bound to celebrate the 60th of another good friend.

Sore butt - I am familiar with. When in Ecuador we Mountain Biked down Vulcan Chimborazo - drove up to 4200 mtrs, hiked a bit further in the thin air and then cycled right down the face of that thing. The ground was at times deep sand, then so gravelly it made my brain hit the sides of my head, and believe me in high altitude, that s**t hurts!! As we got lower we did back dirt roads and through tiny farming villages at speed (so much fun) once we hit the bitchumen it was a delightful downhill back into town. I can still feel my whole body shake as I gripped the handle bars going through the gravel. Such a great thing.

So 500 miles of 5 days - that sounds a bit hectic - lots of mountains too? How many of you will be cycling?

I must say I do wish to get over there to do the El Camino at some point.

[Gee]

That sounds like fun :)
There are 37 signed up to cycle although if anything like our last ride not all will finish. I'm looking forward to the both the challenge and the scenery. Have got to get a few miles into my legs over the next couple of months otherwise it'll be more chore than fun
