Birds in 4 Pieces.

[yakksoho]

For the sake of birds, love
___For the sake of birds
The scarlet lines they trace into
___the space between our eyes.
Misplace 6 scarlet words, doves
___their flight will circumscribe
The lonely lovely lines (above)
___the spaces we arrive.

Sing me 6 scarlet words, love
___the songs we never heard
Scrawl the lines you speak into
___the space between our eyes.
I counted 20 birds (above)
___exploding into tears
___the songs we never hear
In the air between us
___the words we don't describe.

I learned again the way your shape
___displaces space, traced
The lines your face misplaces
___when aligned with mine.
In case the last time lasts forever
___I'll remember all the traces
___your fingertips inscribed there;
I counted 20 birds, doves
___exploding into air.

For the sake of birds, love
___the songs they circumscribe
Feathers into words, doves
___fill the space between our eyes.
For the sake of birds, love
___For the sake of birds
___Counted 6 scarlet words (implied)
To fill the final simple silent
___spaces we collide.

[(Wordy)]

That makes two of us...

 

[kazza_baby]

Make that three.

That piece flowed so elegantly, yet the message itself was more powerful.
