*~ Between Black and White Layers ~*

Missing image

 

 

 

In my active volcano, you are restless
molten lava and lay dormant against my Spirit.
Our tangent thoughts erupt, emit steam~
redirect the smoke that smolders life.

We come to crossroads, merge sky with earth;
liquid to solid trailblazers on course
towards our Sacred ocean.

Waves wash, cleanse the impurities
that try to cling onto our future.

Palm upon palm, love lines interconnect
upwards-downwards to heights unseen.
Fingers test, touch internal hot springs,
top to bottom, our essence flows undisturbed.

You capture me in your embodiment whole,
I become crystallized connected;
ingrained instinctively within blessed chambers.

A fountain we form, gifts fostered
in one another to regain what was lost,
immortalized within layers of grey.

    I saw symbolisms

    through out this whole poem. I could see how the Earth goes through it's cycles with man, & also how lovers go through their cycles as well. Very thought provoking & I loved the imagery you use for this.
    Great job.
    Good luck in the contest.

    This is fantastic! This poem made me as the reader feel like I was part of you. What a great metaphore.

    Love,

    Beautiful write. I liked the part of cleansing impurities the best. It seemed metaphorical and made me think of how even if people are so called pure in the present time, as life goes on, it may not stay that way forever. Life changes, loves comes into lives and hopefully make life better. Great quote that this was inspired from. Good luck in the contest.

    BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

    You are so right, ones who share in their hearts the same feelings and compassion do when they finally do meet feel they have known each other all along.
