forbidden fate

siberia snuffs out the flame

winds cascade through hollow doorways

the dirt between our bare feet is infertile 

so our olive tree bares no children 


silence plagues our lips 

our eyes reflect a vacancy 

the hairs of my arm stand

but they just fail to reach you


patches of my skin climb and falter  

projections of blood ridden war emerge 

i’m enraptured by your metallic embrace

yet this warmth only makes me colder


kept tight between groves of the future 

the mystic has run short of lines to read

her crystal ball has shattered neatly 

with shards embedded in your paw

Yay new writing 🌷🌷😊🏆

You've painted your words like a very sad and powerful picture,  Your poem really pulls my heart  in to experience very mixed emotions with you, where you feel a biting cold that briefly turns warm, only to become a harsh chill again. This contrast draws us deep into a profound sense of loss. With your words, you've captured that feeling of helplessness in the face of fate, and how silence can speak louder than any words. Your use of images like war and a metallic embrace gives the poem a really impactful dimension, making it a truly unique piece of art 🎨 nice-very-nice.gif
