Follow Me Upstairs Poem by ONElia AVElar

Follow Me Upstairs

Rating: 2.9


In the darkness of an empty entrance
A female voice said:
Follow me upstairs…

Soon afterwards he lost his mind,
His sleep, his heart, his appetite;
Even his old leather cap...

And only his mother
Noticed all that
Loss…

10 was given. Why? 1. It's a poem. We write but every writing is not a poem. 2. A poem must be multidimentional. When I read I got a face message, after that I think and got another thing. 3. Some untold thoughts are here, a mystery. Hence, I did the right.

A snapshot of seduction, what became of this liason and what was lost all wrapped up in 3 short but intense stanza's that invite the reader to fill in the missing pieces. justine.

The esoteric art of poetry is expressed best in reactions of readers - one could say the less said the more imagined, but a good poem provokes unlimited thought without compromising itself. This poem is one of those. Rgds, Ivan

i was reminded of a chinese proverb: 'two things a man can't hide-that he's drunk and that he's in love'...o, yeah, nothing goes un noticed by the silent observation of a mother and yet the restraint she has!

Wow... this one oozes sensuality and tenderness. The sensual confidence of a woman who knows the capability of feminine wiles yet the tenderness is shown throughout that she knows how to disarm the males of the species! Love it. HG; -) xx
