Upas
Turning away
From flame lust
and flourish.
The better men wait
beside the fire
Straggling their ends
For love.
The quaint sail
Of flame
On the rooftops of strangers.
The new mutes.
Searching for something
Unheard
Bones bending in
The fear of heat
They all wish and wonder
Melting echoes
Wooden souls
Searching for something
Turning away.
Noetic-fret!

Hi Kealan, I really like this poem. I have not yet fathomed all its meaning and this in turn leaves me a little intrigued. But what i can gather is well thought out. In such short verse you have conjured many descriptive meanings and that takes talent. I suppose you may have to enlighten us as to the experience that has moved you to write these words. Good read Kealan.
Thanks for sharing,
keep writing and posting. You are one of the poets I make a point of reading whenever i see your work. It's good quality.
stay well
Best wishes from Mike
