Lonely, I conjure you
But conjure you is all that I can do
Spells with which I summon you
Are whispers that this empty night rebukes
Lonely, I conjure you
A figure woven of the finest air
Ghosts and stolen residue
Afoot upon the vagrant shards of moon
Lonely, I call for you
In saline brews of misbegotten eyes
Wrung from hollow avenues
Of brokenhearted alabaster truth
Lonely, I conjure you
But conjure you is all that I can do
Phantasms and dreams of you
Are dancing slowly in this burning room
Beautiful write:)
Thank you, my friend! π
You’re welcome:)

Hi VW,
This is such a beautiful poem, those last lines are my favorite, they would make great song lyrics too.
Happy St Patrick’s day.
Hugs, Nikki
I really like the images of evoking magic to bring someone near… so near, yet so far… Very nice.

VW, once again I resonate…. you always seem capture (so uniquely and expertly) those conflicted emotions that we all can relate to. (Am not “there” now but appreciate and empathize with this.)
I am glad you are not there π
Absolutely marvelous VW the loneliness and the shadows of past together in a jive
who came first and summoned the other
beautiful poetry π
You are very kind with your words π
Reblogged this on Tigergrove.
Thank you Heather π

Sorry for coming after so many days. Med school and studies
You poetry is always a pleasure to the mind π
I understand, my friend. Life has been going quickly for me as well recently! Thank you for stopping by!
Beautifully written, as always, VW, and this verse is one example of your “word brilliance:”
“Lonely, I call for you
In saline brews of misbegotten eyes
Wrung from hollow avenues
Of brokenhearted alabaster truth”
Tardy, I am, once again! π
Thank you, Lauren! I am glad to see you here again!
Doomed to fall
Storms without calm
I want to hold you
But I can’t seem to at all
Destined to part
Dancing with distance
This burning love
Tragic from the start
My dreams filled with you
My dear, why?
We should know by now
But I’m still holding to the moon
Empty rooms
With shadows shaped
Like us and you
But no one stands
Where someone should
The shadow only
Lines the wall
A shape of one
I love with all
And long to see
Just once again
My kindred heart
My muse–my friend
Hauntingly beautiful, I love the near rhymes.
Thank you, sir. Good to see you again!
Absolutely amazing, V. It’s inspiring reading your work, and I honestly mean that.
Thank you, Alex. That is a very humbling thing to say
I loved this so very much!! Absolutely striking… hit a chord with me.
I love your way with words my friend.
Thank you, bipolarmuse! I appreciate the encouragement
This is another one of your fine poems Vampire Weather, actually I thought that I had already commented on this one as I originally read it in my updates, so I must be losing the plot me thinks? π Your words are always added effectively and almost without effort you engage your reader base wonderfully my fine and wicked friend π
Have a very nice rest of evening now π
Androgoth

I just enjoyed this wonderful ode of missing the beloved, imaginine the beloved in absentia, on a reblog over at tigergroves. This is such a honorable way to remembr the absent beloved one–in conjuring.
Thank you, granbee
What a great and resonating piece of work, VW! Welldone!! π
Thank you, my friend!
Oh, Dear, I cannot begin to truly express how this moved me. It is poignant and lovely and sad and tragic and I’m crying and at a loss. I love your poetry.
All of it.
Gillian, thank you for visiting my realm. I am honored by your kind assessment of my work, and I shared your tears when I wrote it. Your compliment is humbling, and I am very grateful! I hope you will choose to return again π
If you haven’t figured it out .. you can’t get rid of me, dear. You’re stuck with me.
My goodness, you just arrived! Why ever would I want to be rid of you? You are always welcomed here, though you may want to bring a candle. It has been dark here lately π
The antidote for loneliness is intimacy, not more people – unless they can be vulnerable and share their truth. Like you did. Thank you.
Very true. There is loneliness in a multitude as well as an empty room. Thank you for stopping by and leaving your thoughts. I am honored π
What a beautiful, beautiful poem. Ethel and Tom
Thank you! π
