The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Goodbye

 

Powerful is

the opening wide

of the eyes

in finding

and discovery’s

bending of the

hard lines of the face

in spontaneous smile.

The wonder of finding

seeks the prolonged embrace,

the shared warmth,

of the mutual holding

of seeker and treasure

in possession

of what together

has been unearthed.

 

Only when the

swollen eyes of wonder

learn the narrow gaze of care

may they see that although

seeking's exhaled desire

may rightly be inhaled as love,

the words this breathing utters

sometimes obscure

the whisper of

that cleaner air

within whose winds

might be the breath

of separating goodbye

by which the treasure

may come

to find

herself.

:blink: Once again I am amazed at your ability to catch one idea, one moment perfectly and so elaborately. You are a true poet. :)

 

:unsure: I feel threatened. Lol.

I like the poem, but what I realy like is how you show all of your editing in the W.W. I think it's neat to see your thoughts while changing a few ideas into a work such as this. I usualy do all my editing on paper, but I really apriciate you posting all of yours. :)

I agree. The finished product is great and I hope you bask in my admiration...

but seeing how another poet thinking and revises helps me to grow too - and that's even better.

 

Thank you once again.
