Disappearing act
1 December 2015
The wise ones once said
There was too much of a Love
Share it with the All
With Summer’s waning
I gifted you to the sea
Its frothing horses
Ebb and flow tireless
Played with your dazzling body
A game of waters
Above Autumn’s light
I gifted you to the hills
Their curving silence
The shrubs and the trees
Twined with the hairs on your head
Weaving dark stories
Below Winter’s cold
I gifted you to mountains
Their chilly snow peaks
Rocks and crevasses
Sprinkled with your throbbing skin
Uneven castles
Beside Spring’s blossoms
I gifted you to deserts
Their whispering sands
Yellow sands’ showers
Cloaked your soul in Time’s essence
Smothering stillness
When there was no more
The seas, hills, mountains, deserts
Took silent your place
Wise ones gazed at me
Amplified and distended
Disappearing act
Skye – Clock to Stop
Lovely imagery of the seasons in comparison to love…and how they sustained after that love was gone.
Beautifully written, Geetha. All my best, Poetess.

ah, the essence of love, shared with all the seasons until it has been completely absorbed…another brilliant poem weaved throughout the seasons, which continue to cycle long after we have disappeared…:)

Yes but also beyond, as if some loves need to be purged through the seasons so that they may be somewhat diluted and if you are defined by that love then once you have attempted to purge it by sowing it everywhere then you actually disappear yourself. Just a few thoughts, pondering on what would happen if you allowed a love to define you and whether you actually should.
