Highest Achievement - #7 in poetry [Oct 3, 2016]
~Nostalgia~
It's delicate, but potent.
The pain from an old wound.
A twinge in your heart..
Far more powerful than memory alone
A feeling of a place
Where we...
Ache
To
Go
Again.
-My thoughts. My word...

oh untamed river carry my unwritten letter to the soft depth of sea that i've plucked a cloud this glorious evening out of the hazy horizon as the sun dipped itself in the cup of ocean like an over baked biscuit that crumbles into tea with a plop inaudible
oh untamed river inform the silence of marine that i craddle this cotton laced with a silver lining in the circle of my arms as the breeze gets lost in the flower-like curls gracing my golden head forever occupied with words unsaid but never forgotten
oh untamed river take my call to the ocean that i'm picking stars embedded in this cloud one by one tonight as they clatter on the floor like pearls falling out of a worn out rosary
oh untamed river rush to the depths of sea and let him know now that this soft destruction of scattering these stars in the mud of the riverbed is snatching my dreams from my illusioned eyes so no need to be worried 'bout why sky's been cryin' for so very long now
oh untamed river whisper to undulant waves this rain is sorrow of sky over the loss of a cloud so very dear to my heart for it had all my dreams wrapped up in its softness and now when i pluck 'em to scatter 'em all about me to let them kiss reality, they die in the sea's depth like oil pastels mix in water to leave it changed forever so it can never be itself again
oh untamed river apprise the noisy seashore my soul remains quiet today even though water flows for it has started residing in a world owned by no one so kiss my most beloved sea and tell him, tell my lover, not to be afraid that it rains or that the sky keeps crying as this uproar is an elegy for the loss of a cloud so very dear to my heart that once held all my dreams now lost forever to the depths of my lover, my darling, my most beloved sea
Author's Note
There are so many interpretations for this poem and I'd love to know yours. Here's mine though.
Sea = my unresponsive beloved Cloud = a house for my dreams Stars = my dreams River = an angry friend going to meet my lover Sky = Universe
This poem is about the death of dreams associated with a beloved long gone.. and never to come back.
