Whispers

I buried you myself,

Yet your whispers

Haunt me,

Beyond the

Realm of dreams,

Beneath the mortal

Glow of white daisies;

Daises sprouting amid a blizzard;

How improbable!

But,

There they were,

Tall as ever,

Strong as ever,

Fearless.

Dangerous.

Tangible drops of

Water in the drought,

Urging me to

Trod into that graveyard;

Unmindful of the

Halting grasp.

A bit spooky, yet very beautiful.
I love the story and the imagery.
Well done. ^^

[Tai Ryens]

*shivers* I despise this one . . . Thank you, though.

[Bluefire]

But it's so lovely! D=
You're welcome.

[Riley Bray]

I find this very thought provoking and a good read. Well done.

[Tai Ryens]

Thank you.

To me it sounds like a person who's had someone close to them die and are haunted memories. Everything around them doesn't seem to make sense, but they are starting to get better, but are soon provoked with the idea of joining their loved one...

What an interesting and emotional piece, thanks for sharing it with us..

[Tai Ryens]

Thank you. Though you're fairly close to my personal meaning (You've yours, already), it's still yet so far . . .

Think: memories die.

[eeoopig]

Oh... I guess they do, and I guess it's better if those ones fade (or are hopefully replaced with better ones), but we've got to remember all the good ones we already have so far :) Again great work

[Ashly Christen]

oooooo chilling, captivative, thought provoking, interesting, enjoyable read!

[lee von cleef]

Again you spear the emotion then bast it under the broiler,and we we will eat

[Baby Ricochet]

Good piece Tai. I like the first Stanza particularly. It hints at a homicide but doesn't quite spell it out. Great work

[Tai Ryens]

You can interpret it that way. I absolutely left the fingerprints of regret on here . . .

[Extant]

Pushing daisies literally. *Smile* "Halting grasp" . . . I can only imagine the worst is in store for you my friend. To have left someone behind and have them return, I know how that is. Don't let the 'dead' get you down, remember the 'living'.

[Tai Ryens]

The worst has passed fortunately, I am merely . . . cherry-picking memories.
I do hope fate has dealt you kindly during your pause.

[Extant]

*Smile* I'm glad you're alright.
I'm better off than I was, now I have time in my day to write and read and that makes me more stable.

a deep longing for someone... you painted a huanting scene here...
a strong emotional poem!

[Tai Ryens]

Aha, I am very flattered.

Oh, may I ask why you removed most of your poetry? I noticed it when I was going back to reread some of my favorites.

[Pax]

wow, that's nice to hear my friend... i did not remove them all they are too precious to me, close to my soul...specially the treasured feedbacks... i just unpublished them for now, I'm still lost... even in writing, not sure if that's what i really want... i just don't have any direction for now... I'm here to review my friends...

[Tai Ryens]

Ah . . . Well, I do hope you find your inspiration someday. I have the same problem, do not fret.

[Pax]

seems like i worry too much right... lets just hope for a brighter day someday...
you too, your much younger than me... you have lots of road to choose... so choose wisely my friend...
