Summer pleasures collectively peeking 

There was that.

Observations from the second shelf 

Listened while we slept 

Across the night skies blazed the scent 

Of ever after and reminisce 

He called to ask about forever 

She bothered not to care, rather 

Joked about the weather 

Anything to change the mood as the moon fell sick

And forgot to rise 

Deciding on some other day

Time stretched between the question posed 

While the answer fell behind 

He traded in the serenade 

She never stopped to hear

Blinded by dysfunction's curse

He never knew 

She felt it, too 

The music slowed

Laughter died 

Pauses grew wings and kissed the sky 

Brazen died in the summer wind 

And slowly blew away...

Avoidance can make some things go away....even love.

Yes indeed, it can... just like indifference can.

Thanks for your comments.

Aloha my friend from the middle of the Pacific

Indecision and procrastination (not the same thing - discuss lol) will surely allow suspicion and contempt to grow like weeds in any garden that has been made receptive for that magnificent but not very hardy plant 'love' - they are all 'growers' - but some grow with TLC and some without.
Talk it out - that is essential !
Great write Alisa :))

as Hendricks sang "'scuse me, while i kiss the sky"

if we don't communicate the love back...the other's love will eventually slow like the music...and the feelings will be lost in a "purple haze" forever.

Hi Jacob,

You are absolutely correct.

Thank you!

~~ for me, this is a beautiful piece of writing that gives one an insight into how the absence of clear communication can have serious consequences... ~~ excellent work, alisa... ~~ this poem is a poetic novella... and narrates an extremely powerful story...
