A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

the -itions of it all

 

you were simply

an expensive imposition

a juxtaposition

to happy

for me an exposition

into giving endlessly to the cause

cause i loved you

 

and then 

you were simply

an expensive imposition

i could no longer afford

to subject my verb to

an object of your own affection

an interjection

into my life

 

and then, 

you were simply

gone

 

 

and my intuition 

turned supposition

that my life without you

becomes an alluring

 

expedition

a proposition

i simply

welcome with open arms.

Invariably, it feels so good when you stop banging you're head against the wall.
You, of course, said it far more poetically.
Excellent work, Jacob!

Given my touch of superstition, I worry about your seeming determined inclination. Perhaps a moment of introspection, while being a distraction. Have a bite to eat, and contemplate during the slow digestion.

Your intuition on the imposition related to the transition of your recognition quite well I think. :)

I get gummed up in grammar,
But this actually makes me want to relearn it all.

Extraordinary word play. This read like you have crossed your t’s and dotted your i’s, and you are ready to embark on a new beginning or maybe delight in a rerun!

Only you could make grammatical tendencies relevant! The gradual slimming down of emotion, the apparent willingness to carry on without a care in the world? Perhaps, jacob.. perhaps!!
