Without You
Cold dark lonely longing
Without you
I awake and you are gone
The chamber empty
You journey to another place
Leaving me lonely
My letters returned unopened
Seal unbroken
Lost without you

A Love Poem
What is a love poem how will I know it if I find one
What should it look like will it have a special form will it be filled with words of love
Hugs and kisses or will it just be like other poems just words
Woven together to create fine cloth with original patterns
I was told once the secret is in the fabric the idea was
If you are the one who raises the sheep cards the wool
Weaves the cloth you will put sacred symbols into the cloth
Will a love poem be like that will it be a special treasure hidden in the clenched fist
Or tucked into the pocket to be found later what are words of love
How are you how was your day can I help you with your boots
May I prepare food for you what would you like love is in the air
Makes everything better no longer lonely no more longing
Love fills the empty places in your heart safe and secure
Abstracted poem from, What is A Love Poem
What is a love poem
What should it look like
Hugs and kisses
Woven together
I was told once
If you are the weaver
Who weaves the cloth
Will you fill it with love
Will a love poem be like that
Will it be a special treasure
Hidden in the clenched fist
You are the poet
Will you put love into everyday words
Create a love poem

I think the hardest part of the first one would be receiving the letters back seal unbroken because it would feel so alone in that moment.
Is a love poem filled with hidden sacred symbols? I really like that thought and might play it out a bit in a poem. Love is a mystery and should include little things said that make sense to no one but those involved. And it is cool to look back in them and find treasures that you never really knew were there, until you look with new eyes. Maybe through the maturity of the love.
I liked what you did with this challenge, particularly how you’ve constructed all three pieces differently. I sometimes find myself wondering if we pick the form and construction that our words will take – or if the words find the form. Perhaps it is a bit of both. I enjoyed all three pieces.
