A Mystery

Feeling alive in love
only a moment ago
my voice and whispers
end in tears as an
eroded bank of a
rising river.

Or rhythms and
waves of water
cold as ice.
Winds blow across
my flood  of tears.

Wings outstretched,
an enchanted mournful
dove arrives
asking why?

    Beautiful. A sad little fantasy.. although I can't imagine fantasizing to be sad, happy yes. Sad, not so much.

    I liked the way you put this down, the way it just read down down down.. I tend to find when there are one or two words per line, I read the whole poem faster and faster until the end. Like a flood.

    It's an interesting effect, I find, as a reader.

    Thanks for taking the time to enter, best of luck.

    Sad but beautiful fantasy... I love the image of the Dove. I once wrote a little poem about a Dove:
    The bird of love is a Dove,
    and of sadness I'd say the Crow.
    For a Dove can make you in love,
    but it can't let you let go.
    It's so true though!! Thanks for the beautiful imagery.

    Very metaphorical with beautiful imagery! I love your wording and the emphasis on certain words. Love is a very contraversial topic. I love the line breaks makes you realise the intensity of the words being said.

    Blissful!!!

    Wow!! I love this piece, Vivela. Your visual presentation lead the reader to the very banks of your forbidden river. Such descriptive words you weave so well. You are quite talented. If you like.... please check out my poem "The River of Styx" as you may like the descriptive contradictions & enchanting feel of the piece. Thanks for sharing this, Vivela. Very well done!!
