I would love your opinions and feedback on these poems I have written.
The first is about a festival in Italy, the second was inspired by New Moon and Bella's feelings during the break up, and the final one is just something that came to me..
Hope you like them
1)
I can taste sunlight and smiles,
Tangy spices on the hot breeze,
Wildflowers, and that famous pasta sauce,
Rich truffles wrapped in silk and ribbons.
I can hear the laughs and dancing,
Frolicking melodies entwined with joy,
The soft swish of wind over cobblestones,
And a passionate song of hugs and hope.
I can feel the sun on my back,
The kiss of a light wind on my face,
Soft petals opened,
To the bliss of a perfect spring day.
I can see a swirling mass of colour,
Acres of Italian smiles,
The spring stalls selling only the best,
Love and laughs and belonging.
2)
Those times when your heart turns to dust,
Shivering, trembling, loss of trust.
Mist, the remains of what was once love,
Shimmering, blinding, so high up above.
The dreams you once had, far, far out of reach,
Those glittering hopes and walks on the beach.
Your faith gone forever in one single word,
“Over,” he said, and that’s all you heard.
Memories chilling, a gaping wide scar,
The endless night sky without a bright star.
Nightmares are fierce, vivid and bright,
Of everything lost; of your guiding light.
The stabbings of nothing that strangle your heart,
Emptiness penetrates, tears you apart.
Your faith gone forever in one single word,
“Over,” he said, and that’s all you heard.
3)
In soft rain she stood,
With the wind in her hair.
Seeing a golden sunset for the first time,
Freedom was at her fingertips.
She was a dancing summer sunbeam,
Laughing away through the swaying long grass.
A battered brown briefcase in her hand,
Many a tender farewell kiss on her lips.
She set off into the big wide world,
Of;
Roses and rainbows,
Summers and sadness,
Lizards and longings.
Hopes flung high into the misted stars.
She was ready to be free.
Thanks in advance xx
