Questions or Inquest

shall I write of love
of a deep and abiding eternal bliss
timeless.
or shall I dwell on heartache's broken romances
dances that should have never been,
much less started
misunderstood chances tainted by twilight's titillating tease

stolen kisses beside the obvious
is that so blatant and yet
who would notice, not the oblivious
secret partners who laugh in our face

where is my heartbeat
the one that's absconded
with the essence of me.
I wait by these waters
listening for clues
no news,
where did this hope run to

the link has fallen out of legend
snapped and slipped away when no one was watching
spiraled and spun to the next step
and may be waiting,
not sure

how much of what we perceive 
remains
here in our minds, for all time
beautiful pictures on pixie sticks,
fragmented images taunting melodrama's brush...

'Question or Inquest'
Alisa Js,
First of all, the lovely dream blue of your poem text lends to its feel. Above poem is full of questions which point to the essence of a person's inner heart, a heart which longs to give and receive love and share life with another. To enter into the essence of inner feeling regarding the process of how relationships of this nature can work and the layers with it's times and experiences was very interesting to me. You presented your own personal feelings in a way which gave the reader a look into your own unique and hones thoughts.
Beautiful!
Kathy

~ spectacular poetry... again, your poetic voice resounds... when i read poetry as powerful and as perfectly written as this, i feel that when poets stumble upon the truth, no matter how excruciating it is, the truth liberates them... and they enthrall and captivate the reader... ~ extremely heartfelt and insightful work which is very skillfully written...

You have obviously mastered the nuances of poetry as evidence by catchy combinations like "twilight's titillating tease." Your word selection and arrangement is marvelous and its supported by enormous creativity. I enjoyed this immensely and thank you for the privilege of reading it.

So passionate and poignant. Love passed by and drew feelings that swung from one side of the pendulum to the next. Do these feelings relate?
