Drifter [Quadruple Etheree]

by Poet on the Piano   Aug 30, 2013


North
is where
we swim to,
warm sand tingling
bare feet as salty
breezes brush our necks; wild
berries on our tongues while I
inhale your Amouage- amber,
sandalwood, and smoke our new aura.
Cicadas buzz at twilight, a sunset
of amethyst, as fizzy blue waves
echo serenely. Our tent is
a lit fortress with pillows
and I listen to wind
crooning melodies,
(your rhythmic voice)
though we are
now a
part.

Dreams
doze off
but I stay
outside, rough hands
ready to build home
in a sandcastle, sun
winking goodbye in russet.
Fireflies soon blink and I smell
your rosemary and lavender here,
but a lone kayak pirated your soul.
You left, placing herbs on my chest and
footprints on the ground. I feel like
I've trespassed 'cross the Gobi
desert- parched, endangered,
night is not gracious;
I shiver once,
no arms here
to calm
me.

    Wow. This is truly great. Your word play is fantastic. There is so much imagery that it blows my mind haha. When I see an etheree it draws my attention because not a lot of people write them. You have done such a great job with this one. Four etherees in one I have never ever seen. I love how in the first two you seem to be with someone or even a thought maybe. I love how you seem to draw the reader in but the beauty all around In this scene. The waves lapping and the beach being a romantic scene.

    In the secind part it all seems to good be true and you feel the loneliness of the person you created. This person left you trying to heal your heart but I love the footprints in the sand. It looks like this person is now a ghost or a haunting memory that wont go away. The way you describe the night is great. You say it is a cold dark place ( metaphor) and you are alone. No one to warm you up. This is so great though. 5/5
