Crossroads Poem by Paul Storm

Crossroads

Rating: 4.8


A final
Embrace
At the intersect

Awaiting
This release
From your lips

And for that
Unspoken
Goodbye

You turn with a
You will be ok?
I affirm

At the intersect
Singularly statuesque
Smiling bravely


note: revised, special thank you to Paul Butters and Edward Wright Haile for the corrections.

I'd like to think they were more 'suggestion' than 'correction'. Am honoured to be included in your notes. Thanks. Paul.

Me again - Getting back to Edward below - You could of course use Both 'wordless' and 'unspoken' on separate occasions. However, to me 'unspoken' implies something unsaid - maybe some deep thought or feeling. On the other hand 'wordless' might (or might not!) be, just, well wordless. Just a thought. Keep typing. Paul.

You seem to 'smile bravely' quite often - little option I guess. Like the poem. Paul.

I think line one shd be 'wordless' instd of 'unspoken' If she turns 'once more' when did she turn the first time? Sorry to be so critical, but it is a very tender lyric. Sounds like a soldier's goodbye.
