Colors of my soul…
Invisible…
Barely there…
Unseen…
΅〜 ೋღ ❁ ღೋ 〜΅
Whisper lies cloaked in half truths…
Solemn cadence
Vestiges of madness…
On the crest of a fallen tear…
Encapsulating every hurt…every fear…every disappointment…
As it traces its way down my cheek…it brings forth clarity…insight…
΅〜 ೋღ ❁ ღೋ 〜΅
Hope long suppressed struggles against its oppression…
Begging freedom…
Promising everything…
Seeking no remuneration…
Only opportunity to see itself fulfilled…
To bask in its beautiful rendition…
΅〜 ೋღ ❁ ღೋ 〜΅
To turn what was ostensibly opaque…into vivacious vibrancy…
To shine…

What a stunning piece of poetry. Having not seen you on here for a while and then coming back with this truly exquisite work of words.
With your trademark use of words, and the image you have chosen to enhance this makes it all the more poignant. I read through it again trying to find my favourite line or stanza, and it was a case of “That one, no that one, no that one” In the end, I could not choose. The way it all gels together makes it an original, adroit, moving masterpiece.
The emotion in this, all summed together in a single tear and finishing with those two perfect words … “To shine” Brava!
Welcome back.

Thank you so very very much Alastair! You are a wonderful encourager…even if I find your praise unfathomable. I have share…to be totally honest….that your use of the word “adroit” was magnificent 😉 !! I think it should most definitely get more usage that it does at present lol. As always, I appreciate your thoughts incredibly! I hope to actually be back to stay. Life, can be…vexing…at times. I do hope your week is a wonderful one! 🙂

I think if you use adroit adroitly, then it is a very adroit word. Hmmm, maybe not that much usage? lol
Seriously though. how you manage to write such pieces is beyond me. You beyond writing poems and write poetry.
The word “vexing” always makes me think of the film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Alan Rickman as the Sheriff goes into the basement, picks up a knife, starts stab, stab, stabbity stab on the witches altar, and when he has finished, she says “Something vexes thee?” always makes me laugh.
Hope you have a good week 🙂

Welcome back, and what a return! I think the title was a little give away on that though, you do bring the best words back into the collective thought process. I love the rising from the subtle and hidden all the way through to the explosion.
I usually like to pick out my best bits as you know but my signature move will be retired for this post. I think it may be the enjoyment of basking in your words your hiatus but despite that it would still be a huge challenge.
Hope is the important thing here, from the sad and tough to the thoughts of tomorrow and the ideas of change and all that that will bring. It is tangible already perhaps? It is only now you have posted again that I – and I would imagine everybody else as well – realise how much you have been missed around these ‘ere parts. xxxxxx

Thank you so very much for the warm reception…it is nice to be back, nice to be missed…even if I wish it weren’t for such a long time. It always thrills me when you really like one of my poems. Hope is indeed important…and usually hiding inside us all. It is the recognition of such that makes all the difference. I think like happiness…hope isn’t tangible…rather it is elusive and mysterious. At least that’s how I see it, and we all know by now I am crazy ha. You’re great and your comments always help me to think differently about things… xxxxxx
