Unravelling

Poem

Love is simple

For the simple

When I lost myself simply

to seek the winds of flurry

to be blinded in a storm

with my hand in yours

I wasn't like my anatomy

Abstract with no anomaly

We bloom to wither, not in hope to fulfil

A destiny unwritten, by our own written

Trust was simple

slipped out quite swiftly – Animals in disguise,

fooled by the humbled and humbled by the foolish,

we dreamt of skies

with one wing yours and one wing mine

Inside out

outside me

you will be

each time we clash ill remember

we both have died with testimony

Death was simple

as long as it was once

When you fail to unravel,

it will deliver you

to and from

So at the gates of soul

where pieces are torn

I try to weave

where threads of love and life dont seem alike

And I try to grieve

great poem I do love the interconnectedness of the lines although I do feel you will get a better flow out of using proper structure,

a poem in my opinion is best read as it is spoken in line by line, this leaves little to the imagination in writing but all to the imagination in context.

great poem though and I hope to see more from you. <3
