poem for one
when we met
before I had ever heard the words "I love you"
and believed them
she was all the bright colours
and when I'd finished
she'd hidden
them all
away

"when we met

and believed them
she was all the bright colours
and when I left
she was
no colours
at all"
Powerful imagery in those words and a common thing.
Guilt slowly eats away at everything.
Great write Hemi, with much depth I find. :)

Hugh,
I appreciate you feeling out a new device to play around with . It works , says something solid with minimal words.
I would however try and make a case to have 'away' included as the last word. I think ( the pace I read it) that your one word off for the flowing of it.
Anyhow, glad to see you've got the versitility in you.
Nice one.

Yeah, I agree with CraicDealer; adding "away" would allow the piece to trail beautifully - and like him, I enjoyed the brevity ... the "nothin' to say" of it. Not your usual style, but looks like you might fit there if you so wanted.
This one is a kick in the guts, and I'm sorry for how you got to it, but gee it's described soft as a caress ...

Cheers S...not sure about it myself, the last verse feels hollowed out, but I do remember that that was my intention at the time, to hang it in a way that jarred, so it's being left alone...
Good man mate.
