irrationality

whispers filled my ears
permeating into each of my pores
drenching me
with the essentiality of you
with my eyes shut
I took in the moment
letting my fingers read you
pausing at the difficult words
imprinted on your skin
when my senses forgot me
I lost it all gaining into you
you dissolved into nothing
leaving me with my whispers

"still I search for you
with violent desperation"

  1. There's so much emotion in this, everything from gentleness to "violent desperation" - beautifully intense!

  4. it has been forever, but your link has always been active on my site. This topic looked interesting and wow, the poetry has evovled. Nothing like a year ago. You should almost just pick one at random and compare. I finally picked up a pen again and I can't stop, but I will always write my way. You obviously have many many facets. Excellent poem!

  5. Rings true for me.

    How about 'careless whispers'?

    "I should have known better than to cheat a friend
    And waste a chance that I've been given.
    So I'm never gonna dance again
    the way I danced with you.

    Time can never mend the careless whispers of a good friend.
    To the heart and mind ignorance is kind.
    There's no comfort in the truth
    pain is all you'll find.
    I'm never gonna dance again
    guilty feet have got no rhythm"

  8. Nice work!! I like the way you started with whispers and ended there, as well. The quote at the end tells so much.

  16. "pausing at the difficult words
    imprinted on your skin"

    This image is lovely and intimate. Reminds me of tracing letters on someone's back and making them guess what the word is.

  18. 'Difficult words' printed on evertone's skin - we usually ignore them and concentrate on the easy ones.
