I Want People to Share Their Poetry

The evening breeze caresses my face,
A leaf flutters down from a nearby tree,
Its existence ended.
A brooklet flows by close to my feet,
Its passage through time marked by a rustling, gurgling sound.

The here and now is all that matters, has to be with the impermanence of existence.
In its way sadness has a certain beauty,
But one that cries out to be shared with another soul.
The sadness not so enjoyable when it can only be experienced alone.
The only pain-deadener - memory.

Breathtaking! *sigh*

@SW-User Thank you. If I was a writer I'd be trying to create something which feels sensuous but yet really happening in the present.

@alan20 This is very much sensuous though, it mustn't be written in erotic form to produce such!

I'm such a nerd and love the word, permanence, in whatever form...outside of the box choices!

@SW-User For ne the past is permanent. True eroticism cannot be boring and achieving that is very difficult. I think Debussy's music comes closest. A great performance of Clair de Lune, for instance.

@alan20 Very true. I strive for true eroticism and just haven't mastered it yet...
