When you sit down to write...wow. You have me stopping and pondering with this lot, and I say “job, well done!” 

 

Impressed, I am.  

one written some weeks ago ... one last night.. two this morning ... but thanks for the compliment Reader xo

Beautiful, like snippets of time on an unusual time piece. The four together put me in mind of Dali’ s , ‘The Persistence of Memory.

thanks jp, i appreciate your comments and for taking the time to read xoxo

he has such memorable lines; these especially stick with me -

his soul is a restless place...

...he reaches out 

to hands inaccessible 

to an equal heart...

...the universe teems with it

and the universe disavows it

he wanders a path parallel...

I read and re-read and re-re-read this, looking at it as a faceted diamond in perfect light. 

you appealed to the sense of observation, and brilliantly so, floating above, beside and around.

then reminded me of a musical scherzo, maybe because it seems to have a faster tempo, or perhaps there is the sense of possible freedom from ghosts and skeletons. 

If the previous poem was a scherzo, then now may be a brief rondo; the recurring search for happiness likened to nurturing and rebuilding the flame of love.  

Each of these spoke to me in your own unique voice, and wonderfully so.

A lot of self-reflection and unrequittedness in this poem.  I like it.

interesting .. yes self reflecton but the love isn't unrequited, it is there but so very far away in a sense .. thank you for your insightful comments Ashi.. xox

I think I was meant to have missed these. Chapter 78 ... you say goodbye. ...no more poetry.  Then I'm drawn here. Have you read these, boy?  They speak, in your clear beautiful voice. How can it be silent? Is your soul really silent?  Take some time, get outside, reconnect,  but never, never say never. xoxo
