Shadows Entwined

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

Shadows Entwined

 

you were a lovely departure

from my previous reality

a soul in flux with mine

abhorrent likenesses

became perfect adherences

 

affixed to each other

like priceless stamps

to ordinary envelopes

we loved from world's apart

but found words enclosed within hearts

 

to be written

in approximate ink.

I like the term "previous reality" because it implies that our grasp of things changes with our understanding of them. But what was the revelation here? The postage was more than enough to deliver but some things get lost in the mail. There are some who save old love letters and some who burn them on bridges to places they don't wish to return. I enjoyed the read.

I save them...
why is understanding so hard?

we loved from world’s part

you can never get too much love. I found your words touching dear J. In a world with so much conflict any love is better than none at all.

Sometimes we can be different and may fall on the same path.
