Gather All The Good Men

Missing image
I am happy right here
Amongst my creation
Looking myself circle in the eye
Square to the sky
Mother moon, silvers the night
Colors, black and light
Just like when I first met life

Finally opening to be reborn
To reap the rewards of sullen strife
Circumvent the motion of hand to tongue
Consume pure light and life
Flight for freedom, feelings sung
Looking God right in the eye
Left with love one couldn't deny

Or will loves labor loose...
Ushering in the liar and the master
~static~ Somehow seen as the savior
Loves touch crippled with dusk
Pretty little ribbons wrapping hatred
Tie me in knots and do it again...
if they are the blessed
Hold your breath and count to ten

1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.


Then gather all the good men

    What a lovely piece this is, filled with so much imagery. The emotions are deep and strong. It flowed readily and I didn't falter one bit. I do feel that you could take the numbers out though. The line before stands on its own and we all take that pause as we read. If that makes sense. lol Thank you for sharing this with me and keep writing poet. Wonderful choice for Todays Poem. seamaiden ♥

    The picture is beautiful and fits in really well with the poem. This is a very well written piece, the lines:
    "Loves touch crippled with dusk
    Pretty little ribbons wrapping hatred"
    stood out to me in particular, wow.

    the poem & artwork go well together. your play with words and the images are well done. you expressed well the joy of freedom but also the fear of reverting back to old patterns. thanks.

    First of that photo you created is cool as hell i like it alot. The poem was abstact and highly orginal, I really like these four line here

    "Consume pure light and life
    Flight for freedom, feelings sung
    Looking God right in the eye
    Left with love one couldn't deny"

    This right here can be a poem in itself. All in all excellent writing.

    The play on words there is well done indeed and I like the subtle alliterations throughout the piece that add emphasis and keep the reader absorbed. A good write that I enjoyed reading, thanks for sharing. La x

  • This is completely abstract and original. Well spoken lines to provoke the mind. For me it feels like a need for realization, or a possibly crossroads lying before oneself. It also holds a dark quality of contemplation as well. Nicely penned!

    portals are pumping - this is another great write - love the graphic, and the upsidedown images of the first stanza - though that could be the right way up, when there's no real reference point anyway. Tied me in knots and did it again....

    wow, the flow in this is really nice. I just really liked this, especially the first stanza. I liked the inversion of the normal terms and such. This was very cleverly written
    great write
