Colloquy of the poets

Summary:

two people who feel displaced in this world find solace in stringing words together into poems and stories

One of them wrote a small snipet online, and they began sending anonymous poems to each other in the comments section.

I opened my account
To see what treasures I could find
I stumble down upon this
Expecting
Not expecting
No commitment or heartache
Just
Words
Strung together weirdly but with a pattern that seemed familiar and lovely
My curiosity was piqued, so I kept reading
Kept peering and wondering what would happen
My attention was enraptured
And then
There was no more
So I decided to write
To mimic the way the words strung together
To see if it would catch
If it would stick
The idea of maybe having one more chapter
If you'd be so kind

 

Please

I thank you for this
Wonderful
Glorious gift.
The words strung together on my behalf
So eloquently but so simply asking
A favor
A request
A new chapter in this song that's played on the heartstrings of others

I will grant this
I have too much

time

No time

In hopes of fulfilling this one
Simple
Request

No one has mimicked me so

No one has given me such a thought

I will write

For you

Write
For me?
I would write a thousand more words
Strung together in mediocrity
To experience what I had felt
It felt like flying
The grin never left my face
I'm honored to the highest degree

Thank you
Write again?

Words
My weakness

Would you gaze upon my work with a misty eye
Listening to this fools crazy banter

my resolution has never been strong
but with these

stringed words

I cannot help but give in to this
locution

I savor writing and am never able to withstand

words

 

Many times before I have read such colloquy
but never have I engaged

Been involved

Not involved

 

You continue to exploit this frailty

for now, however
I will allow it

Do not take this gambit too far
for I fear the consequences

I always to have so much

Time

No time

For you,

I will write

What is to fear?
I would gladly write
A thousand words for you
And thousand more twisted into
A dance
A rhythm
Crudely constructed in hopes of
Pleasing?
Yes, to please
So that maybe
The dance just might continue
Just one verse more
Just one more
So that might heart might soar
Just one more

Time

You thank me and yet
I did not expect this to continue so early
I checked again today
Expecting
Not expecting
Only to be greeted with a gift from
A friend?
A person to admire, yes
(I'm not sure where we stand)
The rhythm seemed familiar
I squinted against my screen
Hoping
not hoping
The words written brought me joy
Brought peace
And though I would read again if there was more
This seems
Like closure
And so I will abstain from asking again
For one more
But
But instead I will ask another request

Write with me?
We could weave another story
A brighter story
About us
About them
Take your pick
All I ask is that our dance
Will not cease

 

Please?

This story of ours
It shifts and grows

Admire me?
That's something I'll never know

Admiration isn't the only thing I hold for you

I have veneration

for the zeal you have

I will write with you
together we will weave the songs of sirens

enchanting the mind and bewitching the soul

I never expect

expect

this dance so complicated as it comes
Innate

Our steps left here intertwine

Someone to admire?

I think that person is you

 

I will write

For you
