Palpable Alliance

Palpable Alliance

 

 

 

inseparable

once

 

we span years of desolate fate

soul mates

in an afterlife

 

of now

still breathing together

alone

 

gasping for that last touch

to affirm

 

something was really here once

 

i think i see heart prints

in the madness.

Sometimes we live like strangers, breathing together alone. Missed the spirit of togetherness that once felt. Really nice one

Was it ever love? I think when some relationships break up neither partner can remember what he/she saw in the other. Better off breathing alone....far apart from one another. Lydi**

This poem reminds me how we often consider a friendship/romance to be "palpable" during those stages with the titillation factor is high, but then later, when the more subdued & lasting qualities arise, we can sometimes take this part for granted (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Yes, I am grateful for those friendships...the touch is great but the bond of friendship lasts a lifetime, and is unbeatable.

Has the sound of the reappearance of an old flame. It appears the ignition may be spreading. All's well that ends well.

Lately, I've begun to view love as a virus, a pandemic that's been ravaging mankind for ages. It produces something intoxicating in us that initially feels euphoric, but later leaves us with withdrawal symptoms. We want to believe there's method in the madness, but I'm not sure anymore.

I like the mood you create in this poem: wistful, longing, tender.
