Sparrows

by ddavidd   Nov 11, 2018


I sell my heart to you
I know that
because I see the true customer
in your eyes.

In this setting,
in this exile,
I look at you
and my heartbeats brim over
like gushing gullets
of sparrows.

I give my heart to you
this sycamore
effusing of throbs,
this honeycomb
bursting
of spring.

Take it,
it belongs
only
to you.

    Strong descriptive language in the second and third stanzas! I liked the chaos in the imagery and word order. Nice write.

    Chaos as in, you don’t really tend to follow strict grammar rules. It is chaotic as your sentence structures are unique, they make the reader do a double take. It’s not a bad thing...poets have more of a freedom with language than others.

      Thank you for the compliment. The chaos is a unique point of view that I wish you could elaborate. I understand that most order come from chaos but I am interested to know more.
