Your heart's warmth
once washed over me
in seasons of love
Until touches
turned cold
and vicious winds
from your words
flooded this heart
twisting my soul
in turmoil

Wow.. Such a powerful display of emotion so few words. There is a tremendous depth here, painfully woven into beauty's light. This one hit home, with a vengeance. Amazing, I must say.. EXCELLENT! (Gold in my book.)

Sad poem
This is something a part of so much I have heard and read. I know where the problem lies. There are not enough real men for the other side of beauty. The women God created.
I hope you find happy sunshine.

What beautiful metaphor...I know this one all too well and the pain that flows with it...drowning a heart and causing inter turmoil...wonderful work...
You are amazing in heartfelt sorrow...
Best!

aww .. why can't it be a happy tropical cyclone?
Come to the light side Jacks, the light side. 
well ... can't blame me for trying ... turmoil spins recklessly. Can't help to be sucked into it at one moment or another.
*big hugs to you*

Sounds like our fine game holds another hostage. Any thoughts on how that would feel - the twisting of the soul? Does your mind automatically jump to the inside, where you as the soul twist your torso to relieve pain/stretch, or to the outside where your hands wring tears from the soul like a towl in the rain? What texture has a soul?
It's interesting to note the word 'seasons', suggesting an ebb and flow - where previous issues had risen?
Fantastic imagery - great work
-
What a great take on the subject matter! The first two stanzas complement each other really well.
I first read the poem as follows "and vicious winds form your words" - which I really liked but obviously the next line didn't follow so I then noticed my error. "From" is just as good.
I like your work.

Great

Great-ness thy name is kiwigriljacks!
