Solemnity

I heard the whoosh and saw the sprinkle
Of these watery tears
As the frail seaweed
Was pulled from beneath my fears

I saw the swivelling ochre ache
In these paltry sobs
As the autumn leaves came crashing down
beside all my heartthrobs

I felt the honey trickle
Down this naked insomnia
As the vixen’s afterbirth
covered all my trivia

Hi Pia,

I think this is brilliant, should definitely get
some cherries.

There is so much description, I feel the need to
write it down myself, hope you don't mind.

As I said before, this is brilliant.

Thanks for sharing.

- gorgeously inspiring, Pia! I love it when you read a poem and lines from it pleasantly haunt you for ages afterwards, and these surely will. Loved it :)
