pomegranate by =tragic-saturn:icontragic-saturn:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Open


Separated on the path
(trailing far behind)
you lost me on that eve.

Time stopped.

I walked with my shadow
under a thick gathering of pomegranate trees.
I remember the taste,
the slow pace,
the sticky sweet seeds,
and the chill on my nose.
When I returned,
you made sure I was safe.
And it felt good to know that
at the end of the road,
you were happy to see me.

Author's Comments

Once again, I'm gradually going to incoorporate my favorite and (what I consider to be) my best poems to my deviantART gallery.

I know I know, a lot of poetry here goes unnoticed. but it's special to me and meaningful so maybe someone will enjoy it and relate to my words.

---------------------

:bulletpurple: The meaning behind the poem. :bulletpurple:

this is about a walk to a friends house on new years eve (december 31, 1996 I think) with someone that I occasionally still speak to after all these years. and while we were in a relationship at the time, there's no romantic connections in the poem (or now for that matter)... it's just a good memory.

yes, it is good (far better than most poems I read on DevART)

That's a good memory...knowing that at the end of the road, be it walked seperately, there is someone waiting with a smile.

nocturally helpless
and weak in the light
depending on a prayer
pacing deserted roads to find
a seed of hope

I really like the feel of this. "I walked with my shadow . . ." - very nice.
