Phoenix
written by: Wolfgang H.
in love we trust
and love we lost
for reasons hard to fathom
was it a smell
a side way glance
a gentle touch that bound us
and was it a word
or the lack of it
that wiped the table clear
how deep we went
to form our cave
in which we got caught in comfort
how could we get lost
in this cocoon
where words have left us dry
we grew little spikes
to penetrate our skins
which left us too close for comfort
let’s find a whiff
of that ancient smell
to trigger emotions long gone
reach out and stretch
to find yourself
and look for that side way glance
what once was good may be gone for good
but something good may follow
I am an amateur writer of poetry and short fiction, mainly in German but also in English. I started writing at the feeble age of 53 years, that was three years ago.
