by Wendy "Karma" Williams from Awake Falling Up
Embodiment of soul grabbing verbs
virtually transcend written language
Regret the muse of inspirations
because now expressions are lost
A friendship ended before it began
Heart fell for the haiku, the poetry,
the prose, the sweet rhythmic notions
Missed connection on a metaphysical level
This energy we'll call Phenom
Adulterated sonnets
caused tension astronomical
Esteem far reaching
Revolving worlds on borrowed time
We chose to read in between the lines
Four seasons passing, words diminish
Thoughts well rested remain dormant
until forgotten from memory
Remnants of a distorted summary
that should be erased
Counterfeit lines
metaphorically showered philosophy
Drenched in cold pleasantries
no more replaying verses
of a favorite ballad
And I am left elevated
nothing more,
nothing less
