we come to familiar places
seeking after
that
which we don't understand
learning to let
the body go home
where the eyes rest their hunger
for love, yet
without desire or warning
warmth gathered around
near the heart's shadow
a change in the valley of her soul
its left now
to wild daydreams and
scattered windswept hair
tightly woven together
with lips turned upon
one another
staring into the unknown
rigning out their emptiness
we come to familiar places
seeking after
that
which we don't understand
I thought this was really deep with the way you mentioned the "windswept hair" and the "rigning out their emptiness". I also really liked how you closed the poem with an existing question of not understanding. Good job.
ReplyDeletei liked the last set of lines because i feel it helps to tie in everything about the poem
