SURREAL LOVE STORY

 

Magic

Adoration

Mysterious union

Born so many moons ago

Surreal

Breathtaking still

Screams in harmony

Silent lament

Boy meets girl

Romantic ritual

Dancing down the brittle yearbook pages

Explosive adolescence

Veritable plunge

Mask of blind pursuit

Threadbare facade

Hidden gems

Strewn about in dreamy glee

Ripe for the picking

Alas

Just out of reach

Dying on the vine

Slowing down to feel

Poetic elegance

Absorbed

Truly understood

Taken seriously

Unassuming audience

Haunted memory

Sultry eyes

Aflame

Glowing embers

Passions radiance

Internal

Empty fantasy

Stagger

Ever so lightly

On subtle might have been

Reclusive thoughts

Strangely sentimental

Emotional ghost

Flowing through his lonely soul

Longing to be free

Wings of non commitment

Artistic expression

Low key stillness

One fragile heart

Barely beating now

Courteous small talk

Pleasant euphemisms

Surrogates for deeper pain

Waiting patiently

On a cab that shall never come

What a twisting, turning journey you took your reader on. Nice rhythm and flow, interesting thoughts twirling around.

[Siddartha Beth Pierce]

Ah, what an eerie and beautiful ending to a great abstract work. Truly a delight to read this morning. This is going in my favorites. This reminded me much of my high school love. It ended badly but was so beautiful for a time. Thank you for sharing your immense talent.
Light,
Siddartha
