Cryptoquote

Chiara Fersini

Do you read the creases in my letters

The anxious braille of my honest heart?

Do you caress the shrill curve

Of my unmitigated tears

As they fumble over linear veins?

Do your eyes note with satisfaction

My dignity jostled and adrift?

Do you blow tenderly on the paper

To coerce or cauterize?

Do you substitute each shadowed pearl

As a cryptoquote

For a passage poignantly spent?

I am so tired today I can’t seem to string 2 words together geez

If this is how you write, when tired, heaven knows what you will accomplish when your not – smiles – excellent Yves. x

Absolutely beautiful

You probably write better when you’re feeling off Yves. Love it.

Wonderful creative world ls the relief of feelings! Beautiful poem!

You’ve strung these words together beautifully. As always!

This is great work, Yves. 🙂

Even when tired you manage to create, but then I believe you may have no choice in this matter 🙂

Thank you so much Hector that is so kind

ha. well you may be pretty tired but that opening line has hook…the reading of the crease of the letter and braille of the love is a very cool line….

Tired or not my dear Yves, your muse inspires you so well. What a lovely feeling poem, love your use of metaphors … brava!
