we carry aspects
of semblance
you and i
beyond brittle armor
& frailty of heart?
almondine eyes
for instance
our handle
today, i am echo
but you've always known
my name
yes, my peppermint cloud
you are in every breath i take
now, imagine love
as i have for eons
shudder and flail
as pennant in its windstorm?
i swear, my timeless shroud
its downpour is imminent
as foreseen ...

affinities between beings are indefinables,half lovers, half friends, differents and similars..
You succeed in defining it at last!
Fantastic image and verse, Nox, thoroughly haunting. I feel fractured at the thought.
yes, orfeenix, it's essentially what this was about ... you've got it!! but, i'm affraid, in the end, such definitions are transitory ... they shift as sand in the desert does ... no?
Elisabeth, "fractured" is the perfect word for the underlying sentiment ... yes, perfect ...
the opening 2 stanzas floored me, then the rest ...
i'm wordless in the beauty/agony of this .. not to mention the uplift of pennants in storms, the wonderful ambiguity of "my timeless shroud"
not much to respond to in this comment so don't worry if you can't .. it's a grrrl-who-loves- metaphysical-poetry thing,
and i don't care if academics pounce for my use of that term but there's such alchemy and magic in your imagery that i believe you're as metaphys as Donne
*bleh .. rambling ... *sigh
oh Shell, you're making me blush ... (me as Donne? really? no, not by a 1000 miles ... he's one of my all time poet heroes as you might know and a GREAT one at that, eh?) ... but, metaphys - yes!!
