Sad Eyed Wanderer
Sad Eyed Wanderer
Famished for love
Her sad eyes speak of solitude
In the chambers of her heart
Where she stores love notes
Like Mesozoic origami
Of giant butterflies
That flutter like flowers in the wind
To tickle her inner being
As she rises from sleep
To meet the lonely day
With a smile and a sigh
From her wandering soul
In search of a path
To the place she once knew
Famished for love
Her sad eyes speak of solitude
In the chambers of her heart
Where she stores love notes
Like Mesozoic origami
Of giant butterflies
That flutter like flowers in the wind
To tickle her inner being
As she rises from sleep
To meet the lonely day
With a smile and a sigh
From her wandering soul
In search of a path
To the place she once knew

Ethereal beauty and imagery. Sad but sweet. Just the right length too. I love this.

Dear GM,
You had me at the title. I’m well acquainted with this sad eyed traveler. Your poem is hauntingly exquisite.

Honoria, I am so very glad my poem lived up to its title my dear friend. Very happy to know you have known the sad-eyed traveler. And your hauntingly exquisite description of my poem makes my morning.

I knew this was something I wanted to read, sure enough. I enjoyed the whole piece but this stood out
"Where she stores love notes
Like Mesozoic origami
Of giant butterflies"
Just a lovely moment, vivid imagery.

Dear John,
This piece is spectacular in it's giant capacity for resonance and universal understanding. I am not surprised whatsoever that there are many here on your page who are completely moved and taken in with the emotional gravitas that you so expertly evoked. You pen strokes of aching pleas and lonely bittersweetness in these succinctly picturesque ways which fully captivates the reader, unlike any other artistry here on DUP.
To me, you've perfectly encompassed what a small kernel of hope can potentially achieve.This is masterful minimalism and I'm completely swept up and away by it.
Thank you so much for sharing yourself... it's such a moving and beautiful experience.
🌹💙💙

Susan, I am breathless in thankfulness for your kind words and feelings toward my creation. Indeed here I tried for a big emotion with a depth of feeling. I am thrilled to know that you my favorite poet felt this so profoundly. You give me butterfly joy with such emotional resonance with my poem. Especially because I have felt intimacy with you through your poetry throughout our close relationship here in DUP. You give me hope that I can keep connecting with you as we have in our encounters here. Much love to you my darling. You are the priestess of my world.
