Postcard from Vladivostok

Lonely snowflakes

are gossiping on my numb skin

I needed some space

so I bought a truckload

trying to find peace

on the other side of nowhere

My resistance always thawed

when your buzzing eyes

crept under my eyelids

so I needed, urgently

to put my heart on ice

and find a place

where I'd not

second guess

my runaway

heart. 

Please water my cactus

only if you want to

who knows

it may just outlive me

if it does

put it on my grave - 

it will live on dew,

and you'll never

have to visit.

I thoroughly enjoyed these words of yours & particularly liked the last verse which I thought was like twisting the blade when it was up to the hilt................N

The poem danced on many subjects. I enjoyed the honest tone and the ending. I wanted to read and know more. The ending was perfect and thank you my friend for sharing the amazing poetry.

I thankfully won't have any grave ...if I die...I may just turn to ashes and get lost in the nature...
Nice poem...

[SleeplessVolcano]

[Ardra]

Thankfully they tend to have an active heart...can't afford that these days...
