White, visible glow
pure with every tender glance.
Suddenly tremulous when night arrives
while garish when the sun is high
A wave of shimmering rainbows,
bound together with a divine thread of life.
Inspiration, irresistible fragrance of jasmine petals
when blushed by some affectionate radiant rays
on a mid summer day. While life congregates itself
in the corners of a melodic luminosity.
A masquerade ball of colors embraced collectively.
The purity of white in whole, completeness of existence.
The morning rays of warmth to alleviate the heart.
Nonetheless, darkness sweeps in vastly
and intimidating, throbbing with poisonous air.
An aged blanket meant to cover the dead and the banished
Forevermore.
Glistening on a child’s gaze
fresh drops of diamonds glory.
Gleaming on a lovers ginger lips,
Illuminating sorrowfully a grievers tears.
Reflecting the pale façade of the silent moon.
Felt equitable in every corner and corridor of life.
Clarity of view, on
Ancient times, molded by
the flame, holiness.
Diving on their iron shield parachutes
through the emerald foliage.
Brightening the cotton clouds, performing extraordinary
Spectacles to reach humanity with its radiant salvation.
Light

extremely well written and impressive, but i don't understand how light is why you live. feel free to explain, but though this may very well be the best written piece of work i've read of all the entries in this contest i'm not inclined to include it among the finalists as i don't see how it relates to the contest.

I'm sorry for not answering before. Congratulations for hosting such a wonderful contest. I'm sorry I could get to you before but I was out all day. In any case the reason why light is the reason why I life is rather complicated and has many sides to it. But there's to main reasons the first is:
Light for me is a symbol of clarity and of hope. The ability to see clearly and most of all a sense of purpose. For my light is all dreams that become a shining guide for us to reach our purpose.
The other reason is because light allows visibility. I love life and I love nature, and for me to see beauty surrounding me before dusk is one of world's few precious moments. My sense of sight is my most precious one. The reason for this is because: (this is sort of a secret). Well all children are able to see auras as we grow older we loose this ability. Well when I was thirteen, I tried again. And for me these is light.
That's why I live for light.

Amazing and astounding use of language, so skilled and mind-obliterating; the imagery is phenomenal!! Such beauty and eloquence, exuding through every line…I am in awe. The tone is so soft and tranquil, and riveting; the flourish of images evoked through metaphoric prowess are absolutely spellbinding. This piece crept right in and jarred my entire emotional balance; very inspirational, yet sorrowful, and that last word, the ending, “Light” left me feeling such peace and amazement. I love how, I felt from this piece, though there is darkness and anguish and pain and loss, the darkness is consumed by this incredible light, this luminosity that fades not and is ever-present, a savior to rescue those consumed from darkness, and a promise, that through the pain and through life, there will always be peace waiting at the end. Incredible write…well done!!!

Beautiful
I did enjoy this! It was so extremely amazing. I'm in awe. Your imagery and just detail in this poem was so amazing, and it made the entire poem so much better. I loved this, And I lvoed the title. The flow was amazing. As I was saying to another poet, It's hard to find people on AP who can keep a consistant flow throughout their poem, but you're one of the talented ones who can! Great, amazing job!
Take Care,
