The Conversation

Magic In Words. The Conversation.

I wouldn't have any doubts

About the amount of water fountains sprout,

That come flooding,

Spouting out,

Running in,

But then again

I sat outside for hours

In-fact I'd leave real soon

Hums and humble tunes

The chatter cleverly inhaled me

This once,

Not feeling Icelandic,

Isolated

Or cold in an icy state

Explicit in nature

Infatuation with the acoustic on the corner

The conversation

You coped

And opened up a bit

A French roll of the tongue

Amongst soul and drums

I asked if your heart roams

Do you give up,

If you felt alone among galaxies and coral reefs

If your foundation is cement, bedrock, or stone

Only to find yourself in imitation,

Quikrete

Tumbleweed,

Drifted aimlessly

In hopes you'd find a place on the mantle

Solace restored

Rooted

Resides,

In hopes it might bring you back home

I'd compose orchestras of cellos,

And saxophone ridden harmonies,

To guide path

Soaking in an ambitious ambiance

Of aura which consumes,

It seems it lingers and lasts

Certain lures will attract you.

Sea deep,

This conversation.

It's mysterious to see how a conversation between two people can bring them closer or further away

I admit I'm not very good at following highly nuanced poetry, but even if I can't understand everything you've written, I can still enjoy your wordplay & well-done crafting of imagery & playfulness. Reading this feels like I'm a tumbleweed & getting glimpses of the scenario with every tumble *smile*

[Ana B.]

This induces a very calm, almost accepting mood, at least for me. I had to google Quikrete hehe. Masterfully done.

[Ty]

Haha I suppose a dash of learning as well. Thanks again.

[Lorry]

I love how you almost turn this into a tongue twister with the sounds each line makes as it is spoken, like a linguistic exercise to keep your mouth and mind working properly.

[Ty]

You're certainly encouraging an effort to continue my writes, my friend. Definitely appreciate the words.

[Lorry]

You're very welcome.
