Poetry for me is a way of living, it comes out of nowhere and I have to write it down. How I write, what I write, I decide. I am not asking you to be judgemental. I am gifted with the ability to see beyond the obvious.

turning turtle
it is my rotten luck you departed so long ago yet ignite my soul
ignition turns turtle you intuitively seek it I depart hurriedly
I had a someone like this. Lately I have wondered if I should have pushed the barriers against re-entry or if, instead, I should find a new way to keep myself from lifting into the stratosphere when in his presence. _It always took so long to return to normal, after._
Or maybe I am meant to be ok with the long trajectory back to normal.
I am thinking the top of my head just spun off, my love, so that means... great poetry (and so short, how do you do that?)
love comes and goes then returns... loved the title as well... have you heard of the snapping turtles from texas... just a thought... not that love ever snaps back and never lets go...

Lovely words!

some lovers linger for a long time
So poignant and lovely, and I love the evocativeness of "ignition turns turtle."
you departed so long ago
yet ignite my soul
*sigh* Live long enough, and I think we're each destined to have one like that.
Nicely done.
Very intense words these..
How very taut and expressive!
Well written
is these are conversations or expressions..!?
Very well written!
Just stopping by to check on your poetry--lovely as usual.
There are moments in life that even though they departed and left us, their moments still ignite our lost passion...why so?
You made me reminisce some old memories Gautami!
See how rotten I am, too! And I'd wish to depart because of it!
you definitely have a way with this - you evoked memories in so many of us..
Gautami,
Memories remain for a long time and at times make you wonder what next.
Take care
love comes and goes then returns... loved the title as well... have you heard of the snapping turtles from texas... just a thought... not that love ever snaps back and never lets go...
