the night outside
seems colder than the day called for.
today...was fall.
a strong breeze stirring up everything
leaves, dust and my heart
all twisted together in tiny tornados of wind.
and when the wind paused to breathe
so did i.
for a moment the sun warmed tears on my face
before fluffy white clouds rolled across once more.
back and forth
a tug of war game:
sunny and breezy
crying and breathing.
i went on a walk all morning long
did you even notice?
we were together all afternooon
but i was still gone.
could you tell?
in those slight pauses in conversation
just as with the wind,
things settled.
and i returned to that morning.
i always return to that morning.
or that evening.
always back to That Moment.
back to you-
ignoring me.
back to me-
pleading silently.
fatally used to this.
to you.
but never any less crushed.
so i just walk away.
youre not listening.
and you wont see me crying.
but you know that i do.
and in the windy fall weather
i walk and i sing old lullabys to myself
because theres noone here to sing them to me.
and the leaves swirl around me
and the clouds flow fast overhead
and i leave my heart
behind me on the path.
Please tell me what you think

The beginning of this poem is the stronger portion. It's very captivating and pretty. My favorite line is # 10! Overall, it's very good though! I am looking forward to your other pieces.

This is a sad poem...one being ignored by a loved one....communication needs to happen to make things right...you wrote as if it were a dream...a bad dream...but nicely done, thanks for sharing

WOW!!!!!! Man, this is GREAT!!!! The only flaw I saw here lay in the misspelling of "no one," (not "noone"). Outside of that, this is absolutely superb!!!! WOW!!! There are few poems that have effected me this deeply. This is one of those that has. WONDERFUL!!! - ocerus
