Poetically Resurrected
New member
enough for you? Sipping lemonade, yellow like the sun, yet
Why must He steal away all of my Glory?
Kissing upon every glade and flowing river
Might by these I pass, by these I write my story
The fish cease to swim, lilies cease to grow
He enlightens all but mine soul and heart
Despair, hate for all living things, sinking low
Mirror images, two of one, yet one apart
My heart cannot hope to set like this
Into a horizon of happiness, give life to thee
Never to feel the prosperous man’s bliss
Nor bring joy to a feminine sea, nor be
My failure is forever inscribed upon the strife
I can only hope to run away from the light
To take this blade, plunge within, take my life
My blood turning red rivers of the night
I do, said I, I do, said she, death, my wife!
My hands are cupped like woven fruit baskets
Collecting fruit raining from above shades of color
Rain bowed reflections hatched by a timid Sun
Playing peek-a-boo with the verdant valleys gem
My tongue rakes through the leaves of droplets
They taste like a lake I dreamed of while sleeping
You were high, chirping, in an evergreen tree
Little brown birds cried for your attention
You fed them, bathed them, you comforted them
As you once did for me, in yet, my only love
Another, nestled at this warming nest so soft
Your feathers ruffled a nod towards the parting sea
My heart sank like a ship; I knew this tree was his
My heart found peace where sunlight never left
Rolling brown hills appeared greening lush
Graying clouds felt my pain and solemnly wept
Then an angel robed in white sparked a blush
She sang melodies dark upon the hills white
As the wind picked an azalea gleaming stark blue
My soul faded away into the depth of night
This love felt familiar, I knew it had to be you
Tears like misty dew fell upon an eyelash lawn
Hand trembling under the weight of the past
The angel embraced the reddening dawn
Our spirits emerged, now we are free, at last
Which one do you like best? These are dedicated to my girlfriend Mikaela. each tell of a story. Can you decipher what they are about?
Thanks for all critiques!
