Unfinished

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)





You are the sullen
Red shadow
On the moon


An unexpected
Surprise
Of color


Somehow
I know
We existed
Before

And small details
Make me
Remember:

Oaks
In October

The musty
Scent
Of wine

The way
You close
Your hand in mine

Don’t fight it—
We’re more ancient
Than rock

We were here
Before and now
We’re back

Not ghosts
But flesh

We’ve found
Ourselves
Again

Maybe Love
Always returns

Or we have
Unfinished business

Lingering
From back then

Hello & Cheers!! I'm a content detection and information bot. You are receiving this reply because a short link or links have been detected in your post/comment. The purpose of this message is to inform your readers and yourself about the use of and dangers of short links.

To the readers of the post: Short links are provided by url shortening services. The short links they provide can be useful in some cases. Generally their use is benign. But as with all useful tools there are dangers. Short links can be used to hide all sorts of things. Quite frequently they are used to hide referral links for instance. While not dangerous this can be deceptive. They can also be used to hide dangerous links such as links to phishing sites, sites loaded with malware, scam sites, etc. You should always be extremely cautious before clicking on one. If you don't know and trust the poster don't click. Even if you do you should still be cautious and wary of any site you are sent to. It's always better to visit the site directly and not through a short link.

To the author of the post: While short links may be useful on some sites they are not needed on steemit. You can use markdown to format your links such as this link to steemit. It's as simple as [steemit](https://steemit.com) Unlike short links this allows the reader to see where they are going by simply hovering over the link before they click on it.

This message was created by a bot. It is part of the ongoing fight against spam and phishing attacks on steemit. If you did not use short links in your post and feel you have received this message in error you can contact @fubar-bdhr on discord or @fubar.bdhr on steemit chat to report the issue.

Nice Poem, John. A little reincarnation magic? Well done.
