Winter

[desiderata]

the winter of discontent begins
as the winds of change
whisper bittersweet lullabies
upon a corrugated brow

lightning strike epiphanies
unsettle the effortless calm
of a heart enveloped
in a cynical guise

____ he

is everything
you never thought you wanted
and everything
you are never going to have

fractious thunderclouds
rage, portentous
across the visage
of a soul disconsolate

raindrops and eyelids converge
the salted soliloquy
of another evening spent
empty with resignation



It has been a long time since I've felt such heartache.
And thus, a long time since I have written something.
I still marvel at the catharsis of pen in hand, scribing emotions to paper.
Thanks for reading. I really like the feel of this forum!

i enjoyed this controlled piece. I found it fascinating that the language was expressive and expansive yet the piece was tightly woven a true dichotomy.

this was my favorite part:

raindrops and eyelids converge
the salted soliloquy
of another evening spent
empty with resignation

Slightly odd construction, very interesting. Keep at it!
