Swept, Swept Away

Swept, Swept Away

A Poem by Marlena

This sadness makes you beautiful

and longing in this swept up

ivory wind of yours.

You call it January

I agree and say

It's too cool for summer yet

You smile rows of delicate snow teeth

and

pure skin.

You've swept me away again

again

Yellow eyes like June sun

We sweep these months together

we,

      you,

          me,

or just us

swept away again.

I don't know exactly what this is about xD I think it's the seasons talking to each other, but whatever you guys get out of it is fine, though I'd like to hear it :D It's supposed to be a little sad, so if you get that out of it, good. That was really all I was going for, a little expression.

Enjoy~

This speaks to me of the fleeting moments of love and friendship... people come in seasons at times, and leave in similar fashion. What we have to hold afterwards is the memory of what we had when the season was in full bloom. Good writing, and thought provoking...

It felt to me as if a love was returning, just like seasons do. Maybe a summer romance. During January at the begininning of the poem, it is somber and sad. In June the poem takes a turn to happiness and being upbeat - "swept away again"

Beautifully written! I love how you used all the months to describe everything. This is perfect, I love it. :)

Good poem. Leaves it open to other peoples interpretation. I think it has more of a seasonal feel to it too. Good job.

Does it matter what it's about? You know what I feel when I read this? I feel like winter is not going to be as horrible as a fear... There is always the...holiday...season. Nicely written, Aveira.
