.the Return Poem by YURI DURAAN

.the Return

Rating: 2.4


And so I find myself back
here
at this place

my pockets empty...
no more love to give
as spare change or
bucketsful of cosmic sharing

my heart desolate...
the cobwebs not stirring
in any breeze or reflecting light
through the painful cracks

my mind empty...
a hollow space where
thoughts reverberate and
bounce off the walls

like pingpong balls...

light
white
inconsequential
just weightless and out there

Yuri-you do know how to end a poem. You flip that last stanza like the hidden card in a magician's trick. I like to be surprised, and your poems do that. Watch, however, that they don't get too sentimental. Take care, John
