Vaulted

the magnitude of your attitude left me without

twenty seconds of stratosphere

before I could manage to restart my heart 

alongside the outer realm of anything we'd ever known

it wasn't easy to believe 

and maybe I didn't hear when the words changed

choosing instead to foolishly see

dancing shadows of happy memories

laughing now as they lay dying

around the total scope of everything

inside this emptiness

fueling your desire to be free 

how can we go from here...

Such powerful emotions shared in the poem. You took the reader on a wild ride leading to a hard question.
"how can we go from here..."

Sometimes, we never know... until it's too late.....sometimes we keep hoping against hope that all will be well.... pressing toward tomorrow... and yet, tomorrow never comes...

Wishing you well...

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome dear Alisa. We can overcome a lot my friend.

It is funny how love can suddenly change. I feel the devastation and disbelief in your poem. How can we go from here? well, life just keeps going, so I suppose one just has to pick oneself up, dust oneself down, and keep going too!

[Alisa Js]

Thank you for your comments and time. I agree completely and will be by soon

Hard to know where to go when a romance so swift and unexpected sweeps one quite literally off ones feet!

Poetic pukka, real and uncompromising!

[Alisa Js]

Thanks Tom!

I will be by soon.

self delusion
is the worst intrusion
logical conclusions
replaced by illusion
leading to confusion
and more self delusion

but the joy of same is hard to turn down.

As James T Kirk said - "To boldly go..."
Great title and content Alisa.

[Alisa Js]

Yes, indeed... self delusion is the absolute worst... even if it's all for the right reasons...Or at least that's what you tell yourself.. on those nights so you don't go crazy😳

Thanks Tony, always good to read your thoughts.

It does make for quite an effective buoy Alisa - have used it myself a lot to stop from sinking below the depths. Some brave (poets on jere) people actually cut this lifeline to enjoy the dark !! I am not brave. lol
Welcome Alisa.

[Alisa Js]

I know exactly what you mean! Thanks again!
