A sadness

Afresh the Dream Fortress

Has cut the world in half…

One bathed in gentle softness

The other one - a sinter path.

 

Obstinate emptiness -

hauntingly familiar dismay…

Each tomorrow envious

Of the settled yesterday.

 

Floating salt photographs

Saying goodbye to a world,

Resting on the doorstep epitaphs,

Apricot morning undisturbed.

 

Unfitting in this world now

Like a laugh in the land of tears…

Got to cut a path anyhow

Through the forest of fears

 

Until the Dream Fortress

Will cut again.

Mesmerizing words of poetry blessed in your volume of short stories soon to be well known as new song.

Mesmerised by the verses.
takes me to a space within which was lying dormant for a long time.
Thank you for writing this

'Each tomorrow envious ~ Of the settled yesterday.

Seems Thought.. perhaps.. breaks moulds, leaves less than was, manipulates logic, dilutes colours - leaves only the 'Almost'. Not sure if i have the meaning as you intended but, have tried.

Your writing: meter, language and intention is as ever, more than fine,though near tragedy. Both picture and video add even more.

Thank you dear friend. Besides, there is no right or wrong in decoding words...

[emmajoy]

Might read again and again.. it deserves more thought perhaps... but meantime, I agree.. ... :)

[Ana B.]

Oh deah! Sometimes it's best to pause and listen to the clouds.. and look at a beautiful piece of music? Upside down reality is an escape, you know. :) Just about to use some of mine. x

Thank you my dear.

WOW! This is a nicely unusual way to describe sadness! I get so sick of whiney poems about love lost! But this is like no other love message, nicely unique & also playing with the contrasts of life -- softness/hardness . . . salty/sweetness . . . and so on. Unexpected sensory sparks thru-out that aren't entirely clear, but open for interpretation.

Thank you very much :)

"Floating salt photographs

Stellar and poignant image and poem. Eloquent words to describe the fork in the moral road. "Doorstep epitaphs" powerful.we yearn for "settled yesterday. We have to keep your inspiring photo of the innocent child and butterly of hope in our hearts. Thank you for this!

[Ana B.]
