Wow. It's been ages since I last posted. I think I actually lost my touch with poetry.

Anyway, my creative writing course in University inspired me to give it another shot. Whether that was a good or bad thing, I'll let you decide.

There were whispers of
autumn in your fingertips
the day that we met:

the crisp breeze of your
words, the brown hue of your smile,
the frost-glazed friendship.

You wound grounded leaves
around your lifeline and turned
them into snow drifts -

and they fell like tears
out of my eyes, into my dreams,
to decorate my sleep.

There was an offer
of re-birth in your palm as
you stretched it out for

clouds to decorate.
And the skies scrolled over it,
dyeing it orange.

You presented me with
gifts of a dying season
and bound it tightly

between the clutch of
your henna palm and mine - white
like the innocence

in your lightened smile.
You were always my haiku
in all its meanings:

complex to structure,
ambiguous in meaning,
beauty in snapshots.

Hail You have so not lost your touch with poetry. I love this poem and I worship you from now on =P

I adore the imagery. What lovely metaphors. *sighs happily*
Brilliant choice of words and marvellous phrasing. And it flows perfectly. ^.^

Um, can I keep it?? Very Happy

Oh my God.
I seriously can't thank you guys enough.
You've given back that last bit of faith.

I wish I could marry you all. Lol. But that would be illegal.

ILY.

Who's the god of a god? It thought you were the poetry god. So, are you talkin' to yourself or what? Wink (j/k j/k)

It is legal somewhere I think... Shifty

Btw, I'm "stealing" your poem. I'm gonna print it and put it in my "book" with my favourite poems. I assume that that is ok?
(No, I’m not gonna sell that “book”. It’s just for me so that I can keep all awesome poems I find =P.)

Ahaha. Nah, I'm no poetry God. There's got to be someone else out there that is even better than me at all of this.

Of course that's ok, sweetheart.

Good. Thanks, dear.

Words cannot even begin to describe how beautiful I found that poem to be.
I LOVED it.
The day you honestly lose your touch at poetry will be a dark day for all poets here on GSB.
[lol, I am SUCH a kiss ass.]

No, really. It was wonderful.
But I'm going to shut up now. [i'minoneofthoseweirdmoods...XD]
