Within the absence of all
28 February 2016
Happiness
Empty three vocals
Caught in throat
As I float
Otherworldly hands grasp me
My world is now shut
Like regret
Make me your sunset
Fading light
Glow me night
Seek me in the open winds
Where horizons merge
Wish me stars
I have hidden scars
Under lace
Through silk cloths
That speak of fiercest cuttings
Coursing through the wild
Let me be
There are reasons small
They crouch slight
As we call
Summoning of the amused
Pitfalls of laughter
Free my soul
Cease the mindless quest
Heart’s arrest
Is wane fate
Tomorrow I will be whole
In blood of my kind
Grant me void
Let me spin empty
Into dark
Glittering
Within the absence of all
None that I recall
Reading of the poem:
Versa – We are not what we say we are
Another work of beauty. However, I think that wherever we are now, happiness must not be forgotten. That it was can sustain us

Thank you Derrick. I guess sometimes contentment could work miracles where happiness is not present. Perhaps we focus too much on labels 🙂

You push the reader to reflect and be one with the speaker’s feelings.
Gorgeous, Geetha!

Thank you so much Dajena. Yes, I always like an involved reader and am so interested by the reader’s interpretation because many times it is surprisingly very different from what spurred me to write and I find that immensely enriching. Thanks for reading. I have yet to catch up with what you have written this far 🙂

Beautiful, of course. And the feeling of wanting to forget at the end, is familiar. We’ll done, Geetha.
