my beloved round table.

th beauty of poetry is that it gives importance and presence to everything in life even tables, enjoy:)

Oh my round table,

you have been so faithful.

In joy and grief,

you have been so faithful.

You stroke my cheeks with your wooden touch,

you let my tears sink in your heart,

you share my tears.

In my giddy air,

you become the instrument of my wild flairs of drumming.

So you drum along,

 allowing my hands

to tap your back.

Replicating the gesticulation of my giddy hands,

jubilating the dances of my mood.

Oh how I love your wooden talent.

 In my sour hours,

you become of host of  my grieving feast.

Not allowing silence to suffocate the air,

you echo with the forks,

the spoons and the knives that cut

my grieving feast,

your therapy is forever needed.

Please forgive the times where

my idiocy has made me ignore you.

I will forever love you

 my wooden round table.

"Please forgive the times where/my idiocy has made me ignore you." Jesus Christ.. I should have written this. Nicely written.

There is such a joy in reading your words, journey by journey of you across feasts and famines and more. A table, something that might seem so simple, yet you let us see there are deep enchantments found there. :)

A simple table has seen so much
I feel like this table could resemble someone who has seen it all from you
the table is very real
as real as it could get
and you wish to pay appreciation for this person
for staying around
and not walking off like everyone else

A table stands on all feet
remaining

Lovely

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

I love how through the eye of the poet here,
we can learn to see beauty in everything.
You make me feel surrounded by beauty.
Thank you for that gift.

[Alfred Kukitz]

Unique with a stable of thoughts that allow love to flourish on an inanimate object.

Bravo Latifa!

Nice thoughts and visions create by the flow of words and thoughts. I like tone of the words leading to a very good ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Beautiful, you gave character to an object, such things do hold energy and we all have our connections to such things, lovely :)
