Seismic Shifts - A Month of Daily Poems (Day 21)

We nested in each other’s humid awakening.
Breathing youth’s enmeshing growth
together
feeling each other out, while we clothed
each in the colours of our expectations.
We mingled like erosion, exploding
glistening, blistering.
A sediment sigh
in the blink
of her
eye.

Falling apart, anointed with bliss
drowning in surety, fervent kisses
together.
Swaddled in fantasy of immortality,
each part of an immeasurable whole.
We built a disjointed wall, cracks sown,
mortar made of the numinous blend
of our combined souls.
We flew into the sun,
Icarus’ fractured
by burning
yearning
duality,
as one.

Cracks widened, life lifted the shade.
The sun scorched our eyes, melted
delusions away.
In the crumbling decay of that wall,
new growth; vines forcing a way
to widen rifts,
cathartic fits,
anguish.

A drift of leaves on the wind,
a calm before seismic shifts
decimating, from root to core.

This poem follows on from yesterday's post A Forest of Ideas exploring how the relationships of our youth help us to grow and develop as we get older.

I used some more complex markdown coding in this post to shape the poem in a particular way. I wanted to give the verses a cascading effect to add to the imagery of a wall with bricks missing, eventually tumbling down.

I don't want to comment much further on the subject of this poem as it is pretty clear in its imagery.

New growth comes from old decimation, and we keep building stronger and better walls...

Pretty much sums it up 😂

Thanks for reading.
