AURA OF THE ROSES (photomorph) & WILL I FEEL (non-dream free verse poem) by Roswila

WILL I FEEL

will I feel even more alone
when your aura, stirred by my desire
or hope no longer fills me,
over and over, nor hovers silently
at an outside remove,
tracking my progress
as I wish you would do,
a covetous following,
like a hesitant caress down
my arm or back; this inside/outside
presence that's both a dizzying delight
and soft comfort, until dispersed
like a morning fog by intrusive
clarity: how utterly alone I am

PLEASE NOTE: in most browsers you can click on the above image for a larger version. Also, the photo accompanying a post is not necessarily meant to illustrate it, but to reflect some small, even slant aspect of the verse, similar to Japanese haiga (illustrated haiku).

There are many other sorts of posts on this blog. I indicate which are about or influenced by dreams. Some non dream focused posts are book reviews, "regular" poems (some by other writers, as the above is), scifaiku, writing exercises, Tarot haiku, photos, haiga, and so on. However, most of those are in much older posts. There's a listing by month going back to early 2006, at the end of the sidebar.

until next time, keep dreaming,
