unwritten and unread

A Poem by Lydia Shutter


artwork by hannah robinson
last night i heard your aubade in my dreams
it serenaded me 
even as the sun awakened raking the waves
you were my prince
the one who was to rescue me
from between the lines of a well written fantasy
but the thread of our thoughts unspooled
leaving a knotted mess
truth is i've traveled so many miles between then and now
but just sometimes when the sun tires
tethering afternoon to evening
a bittersweet tear finds its way down my cheek
and i realize it's truly a crime
our last chapter will forever be left unwritten 
and unread

I have been absent from your pages far too long & for that, I apologise and true... tho having now found my way back to you, I doubt I shall stray again... and shall be back again in let's say a day or two... your poetry never lets me down, or leaves me disappointed Lydi** and these words are no exception......respect and a gentle hug on the way.......

You always pick fine arts too to compliment your museum of words.

As you do, my friend. Lydi**
Your mastery comes through of this art and your emotions touch the deepest of your readers. Every line is carefully tethered to beauty even in sadness of the last lines.
