Absurd love

Farah Essakhi

I found in your voice a poetry of sound, and in your face a poetry of sight,
I gave you my life, and you left my side,
I gave you all colors, and you insist painting my heart in monochrome,
You tortured my spirit to death, but my soul passionately craved your presence
That presence, that used to be my life essence.
Darling, you were a chaotic masterpiece,
And I could have seen in this chaos something that attracted me,
Something that I confused with Love.

    Wow! This poem is absolutely beautiful! Your use of language is incredible and the imagery you create is stunning. I especially love the line "Darling, you were a chaotic masterpiece". It's such a powerful statement and paints a vivid picture in my mind.

    If I had to give an improvement suggestion, it would be to perhaps explore the meaning behind the monochrome painting of the heart a bit more. What does it represent? Why is the speaker feeling this way? But honestly, that's just me being nitpicky - this poem is fantastic as is.

    Keep up the great work!
