Hollow?

by Sunshine   May 16, 2020


Have kisses stained your skin
or have they brought muse
to your companioned yet lonely nights?
Were the past walks you made as promising
as your reflective hopes and future leaps,
or were they long yet short?
Have you enjoyed a cozy bed
or was it warm but cold?
Did the sky spin web of stars
around your pillows,
did you sink in restful sleep?
Your occupied heart, was it
actually unoccupied and hollow?

I wonder.

When you held the thorough talks
were you left in goosebumps
or words just fled to the atmosphere.
And of the coffee you think you sipped,
was the black pond sweet?
Did it get curiously bitter
as you added more sugar?
Were your laughs loud
was your voice flat or deep?
When you were there,
somewhere
were you also
somewhere
here?

    The depth of this poem is a remarkable feat. Normally i find titles to be whatever, but yours intrigued me because it was almost asking a question without actually asking one so in turn there is so much depth yo even the title which is not easily done.

    The first thing my keen eye noticed is the questions you asked. Again i feel like there are two personalities within the poem here and they could be both about one person. It is almost as if the person is making a happier statement but then pulling back and they question themselves and th he action beforehand.

    Most of it relates to the past and present. The first reaction here is to say it is about a past relationship BUT I'm going to go for the less obvious in saying that this is about the author or character you created. They ate lost in their thoughts and memories and flashbacks. Feeling lonely.
