It's Always in the Details

there's an avid tone to his voice
that matches my own so well
our sentences mend and meld
he unravels my thoughts like rope
then knots them into new patterns

 

I peel away his words and phrases
And rearrange them into a meaning
I usually get it right, and if not
then that is what laughter is for
anger never sounds as pleasing

I think his scars are magnetic
my fingertips can't leave them alone
has he planned this all out in advance?

I hope not, as the future never comes

and the now feels warmer than home

    Ooh, niiice. I imagine you literally peeling away letters on one of those giant clear dry-erase boards like they have on crime shows... which translates to, "great imagery!"

    I like clean, simple and well executed pieces and this one didn't fail me. Each and every stanza proves its point in narrative undertaking. Definitely a finalist.

    Excellent work poet.

    Thanks for sharing.
