Undone
Rob Krabbe's poem Sometimes the rain appeared here in June 2011. Rob originally submitted this with an image and it worked really well! But we decided to publish it by itself and let the readers imagine their own images. The hope, of course, is that this will inspire more writing or more art work or more both ...
Undone
By Rob Krabbe
By Rob Krabbe
Dense clouds
settling down
surround me;
this
echoing ghost
like winter's
rolling sea.
Hug my morning
with your
ambivalence.
Lay down naked on
my spirit, like a lover
lost to fading memory
and the worship
within her pale
blue eyes.
Oh my sweet,
brother sun,
loyally seek me,
lost within this
comfort of lies.
Burn this foggy
morning head away
into an afternoon well done.
What I don't know
would fill the landscape
as a kindling fire.
and ...
All
I need to fear
in this life ...
is what I know,
sometimes my
heart's desire,
and all
I leave undone.
Great poem. Perhaps you should submit the image for the Prompts page.
