Breathing youth’s enmeshing growth
together
feeling each other out, while we clothed
each in the colours of our expectations.
We mingled like erosion, exploding
glistening, blistering.
A sediment sigh
in the blink
of her
eye.
drowning in surety, fervent kisses
together.
Swaddled in fantasy of immortality,
each part of an immeasurable whole.
We built a disjointed wall, cracks sown,
mortar made of the numinous blend
of our combined souls.
We flew into the sun,
Icarus’ fractured
by burning
yearning
duality,
as one.
The sun scorched our eyes, melted
delusions away.
In the crumbling decay of that wall,
new growth; vines forcing a way
to widen rifts,
cathartic fits,
anguish.
a calm before seismic shifts
decimating, from root to core.

This poem follows on from yesterday's post A Forest of Ideas exploring how the relationships of our youth help us to grow and develop as we get older.
I used some more complex markdown coding in this post to shape the poem in a particular way. I wanted to give the verses a cascading effect to add to the imagery of a wall with bricks missing, eventually tumbling down.
I don't want to comment much further on the subject of this poem as it is pretty clear in its imagery.
New growth comes from old decimation, and we keep building stronger and better walls...
Pretty much sums it up 😂
Thanks for reading.

Hi Aishlinn
I'm okay, muddling along. The rain stayed away today, and it was one of those sunny crisp autumn days, which was wonderful. I'm not a big lover of the grey UK autumn/winter vibes... but they are good for turning me into a
caveflat dwelling scribbler.It was probably the weather that inspired me to start this (self-imposed) poem a day for a month challenge 😂
Lovely to hear that you digged this poem and the imagery, I felt like it was a fair representation of that crazy 'butterflies in the stomach style' young love that can leave you flustered in a weird kind of painful joy.
I hope you and your family are also keeping well 🍁 xx
The memories of sweet youthful experiences often visit as we grow older but twenty childhood friends may not be able to keep their friendship for twenty years. Your poems challenge the minds for deep thought
Another great writing, in change there is always evolution, we must always be constantly learning, trial and error until it happens, a hug =)
Absolutely, the journey is half of life, and a constant learning experience.
🙂
Too deep meaning. Honest confession, I am having to read the poem quite a few times before I understand the true meaning of it. Relying on contextual meaning is good.
Beautiful poem. We all learn from our mistakes. Thanks for sharing.
