Daily Poem #46 - The Drums of War

Free verse poetry is all fine and dandy, but part of the reason why I started this daily poem challenge in the first place was to learn about and experiment with all kinds and forms of poetry. This classic (double) triplet is me trying to do just that.

Daily Poem #45 - where dusk meets dawnWhen I met you
I had already wandered this world
for aeons untold.
Always pondering
the whats
and the whys
and the hows,
of all things in existence (and beyond).
Yet every discovery,
each breakthrough
and world-changing insight
left nothing but a stale taste in my mouth.
For what is knowledge,
no matter how important,
without a kindred mind
to share it with?
Insignificant,
devoid of meaning.
But all of this would change
with you -
you who loved discussing
w h i s p e r e d  secrets and
untold mysteries
until the break of day.
A whole new world opened up for the two of us -
one where solving mysteries became
not just a purpose,
but an adventure.
Two minds rising,
\\ s o a r i n g //
as birds do;
reaching unprecedented heights
from where everything
seemed possible.
And it was today that I finally realized
just how much I had fallen for you -
We climbed the highest cliff in sight,
one at the edge of day,
and you boldly spoke to me:
Come sit with me
