When a poet dissipates like vapor ... " Evanesce "

... a  " Diary of the Falling Dominoes " chapter ...



. . . Evanescent  Soul . . .


If a falling star
kisses ocean’s wild vastitude ,
does anybody see
the impact's circling  aftermath  
as the rippled waves continuum evanesce
(?!)

That fleeting moment when the sea
imbibes the gravity of setting sun ,
surrendering to the yield
of the bending horizon
(?!) 


Will anyone grasp
a simple deep moment's
vision of grandeur
(?!)


What is the sound
a breaking heart's exhale ,
listen but a muted whisper
in the silence of the torn
(?!)

Can “one love” feel
the empathy’s pang ,
behold the solace of a forlorn
callous ache of indifference ;
(?!)

Circles turn , 
seasons pass ,
blind eyes turn away the forgotten ,
" out of site out of mind " . . .

Does anyone heed
swallowed lumps in throat ,
those lonely muted inaudible sighs ;
(?!)

Will anybody hear
the bold expanse of silence
(?!)
