Three Dearths (poetry)

Three Dearths
Poetry by S. Michael Simms
Copyright 2007


The Mystery of Loneliness

No one may speak for The Lonely;
Those not have no right to try.
Lonely Ones, then, are the only
Who can know, so unheeded, they die,
Taking secrets of solitude over
To a place where at last they'll be heard
By the only one Lonely Forever
Who will listen to their every word.



Triolet: Shibboleth

The essence of breath expelled in death
Is visible to those abiding
The portal's password, Shibboleth,
The essence of breath expelled in death.
From spawn of Cain to son of Seth,
Involuntary mist confiding,
The essence of breath expelled in death
Is visible to those abiding.



The Fan

We sleep with the fan on.
The sound of something
is comfort in the nothing.
We make love with the fan on.
Its rhythmic drone
drowns out our creaks and moans.
We live with the fan on.
Our constant companion
is always set to •record.
We love our fan.
The dusty song of countless memories
plays back to us every night.
Today I unplugged the fan, cleaned it,
and put it in a closet next to her things.

Re: Three Dearths (poetry)

Thanks so much. You're very kind. Been workshopping them off and on for about 11 years. They are my babies. :-)

Re: Three Dearths (poetry)

Truly beautiful reads, I adore poetry, I write when something significant happens in my world...Thank you so much for sharing. My favorite was also The Mystery of Loneliness, and the last one made me sad.
