Gone Confessions
The echo of gone confessions, sounding among dancers unable to dance. The sorrow of lovers unable to kiss, without the prying eyes of hindsight. ©AJM

I was just thinking the other day that it has been a while since a piece of poetry gave me those shivers but you have just renewed them!
Such a beautiful poem! 🙂

Thanks Anna. It was a very quick poem-took about a minute to write, and normally I leave them then to stew a while. I feel it may need another verse or two, but I haven’t posted one for a while so here it is. I may return to it.

Beautiful but sad. What inspired it, if I may ask?

It was a visual image. Sometimes I hear a word or a combination of words that trigger something, and sometimes I ‘imagine/receive’ a mental image that works the same way. I saw ‘something’ moving between dancers, standing around on a lawn, and so this was born. As I have replied to Anna’s comment, it was a very fast poem to write.

I should also say that they were beneath the trailing limbs of weeping willow trees, so that may have set the tone of the poem.

Lovely, more so for the story of your inspiration.

Thanks Marie. I’m always interested in how poets/songwriters etc, write. From where comes their inspiration, and how it plays out.

Hard to express appreciation for a poem isn’t it? Without just saying – ‘beautiful to the core’, or something terribly droll as such. Nicer to have stumbled across you – some great poetry going on here.
