  Whisper Killed

User Rating:

10.0 /10
(21 votes)



  My hand is still in yours. A distant leaf
Lies whisper killed upon the rigid grass.
Frost clinks like ice against the window glass.
When will monotony give us relief?

The blue line of the sill is set in stone.
The artificiality of cold
Rims hills with the precision of its gold.
Touch seems to help the glory hold its own.

The wind is startling to stiff twilight,
The disembodied tree limbs scrape and sigh,
Against a vast infinitude of sky.
Hands tighten on the sheer edge of the night.

parting is a moment of maturity...to be with but not of.....the message is subtle as all mature poetry is

a very powerful moment, having to say goodbye but not wanting too... i don't think I can bear to watch the ending....

''Against a vast infinitude of sky.
Hands tighten on the sheer edge of the night.''

Away from the world somewhere deep within the bossom of love they remain clasped...
A lovely portrait.

Good imagery artfully built around words- rigid…ice…stone...cold…stiff… a whisper that came floating from a distance into vast sky- mind- lies underneath to it –on grass- lifeless…hand in hand tightened though… what feels stiffness? Yes, the vast sky- the mind…
The poem ten plus grade...
