Answer of the ...heart

Answer of the heart

Still you would have said you don't care.

The suitcase has been fed with his signs of life.

A crow at the window sill

is warning you of a loss. Agony.

Moments are sometimes so deceptive.

Your eyes pay more attention

to an ant with a crumb of life.

His departure

from this lounge of life

is not a thing you are looking at. 

Albeit is it the ant

what is eating your heart?

Words do not know the answer.

Love and pain are so sadly linked. Wonderful poem again, Poddar.

I think you zeroed in on the pain of grief in this poem in a big way. And I feel a tenderness in it as well. Excellent, Kushal.
Elizabeth H. Nov 24, 2008, 9:30am EST
Very intense. Thanks.
Samantha G. Nov 24, 2008, 9:39am EST
Haunting and sad. Beautifully crafted. I have been in that place recently. It is dark. Keep writing as you are a beautiful talent.

Painfully beautiful Poddar!
Sherrie H. Nov 24, 2008, 11:12am EST
Very poignant.
Jason Hillenburg Nov 24, 2008, 11:17am EST
There's a great deal of quiet and stillness in this poem. The voice of the poet is a whisper; the tawdry passions of rage have been bled dry and all that remains is naked emotion. Very nice, poddar, and likely very personal.
Barbara B. Nov 24, 2008, 11:41am EST
You put so much of yourself in these poems young man.
Misty Reynolds Nov 24, 2008, 11:55am EST

Very emotional. It's beautifully written and makes my heart ache.
J R B. Nov 24, 2008, 10:55pm EST
This is very complex. Sad and you can feel the pain. Being ignored.

Hello :o),

I just wanted to stop by since I am finally going through what is now listed as under 4,000 pieces of gather new mail that is sitting in my inbox on here.

With that mentioned I just came across either a mailing from you yourself, or someone else brought this piece to my attention. You or they felt that your creation should be shared with the gather community, which I am very glad that it was passed on to me to view. So I wanted to say Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to publish it here on gather for us to all view. :o)

As well before I leave you I wanted to wish you a Happy New Year... in 2009 :o)
