Words fall into the chasm
Between a mind and a heart.
Whose?
We wish we knew, you and I.
You and I. We wish we knew.
***
Single leaf, dark night, chasm:
Oak tree, wind:
Music of solitude.

powerful poem just like sarcasm...
ReplyDeleteI do so like this. The title, places the whole poem in a different light -- sometimes don't you just wish there was a "sarcasm font"?
ReplyDeleteVery nice one...

ReplyDeleteSarcasm and chasm, oak tree, wind, leaf
cuts between people. and yet unity softness and
strength.
Many relationships are like that. People love each other, sometimes they hurt each other through sarcasm because they know each other so well, but love prevails.You learn to accept each others faults and love is unconditional .You marry a dream and then live with reality
hauntigly beautiful !

I especially loved the first poem.
ReplyDeleteBoth very fine poems.
ReplyDeleteI've learned a new word: "chasm", which in Italian is "abisso, baratro".
Happy Sunday!

Powerful, indeed.
ReplyDeleteI do not know how to be sarcastic and words of sarcasm can be hurtful at times.
ReplyDeleteBut pain, just as happiness has to be acknowledged as it will always exist to balance our life.
Beautifully poignant.
Have a lovely Sunday dear Sandy,
xoxo

I really like this phrase -- a lot! Well written Sandy... :)
Wonderfully poetic with such a difficult word as sarcastic.
ReplyDeleteNice, Sandy. And more complicated that I can handle.
ReplyDeleteI did figure out that sarcasm breeds chasms but hadn't thought of it with that word, chasm.

Hi Sandy,
ReplyDeleteSo true. Sarcasm can create this gulf/space of misunderstanding. Your imagery always draw me in. It's wonderful to read your poetry.
" You and I. We wish we knew."
ReplyDeletethat says everything Sandy.
Loved it....
Words can gather in that chasm and live for years. This piece has a beautiful impressionistic feeling to it. Gentle and reflective.
ReplyDeleteoh.. that'd be a irrecoverable fall, Sandy.. very difficult to choose from the chasm I think.. powerful take!
ReplyDeleteHere's My OSI
never realizing so much space between mind and heart and the emotions that lie there... both the dark and the light... we are really beautifully made... complex yet beautiful...
ReplyDeleteThanks for being here.
