First Line Of Defence(silver)


Inhale poetry's metaphors
where weaves the dark and light,
let eyes dance, picking petals of truth
shunning darkened tunes.

The senses understand the whispers
as eyes are bared to facing facts,
but darkness weaves it's tricky shadows
erase them and truth is clear.

    a good poem penned, ah yes, let the metaphoric language slide from the mind towards the poetry viewed with wide-open eyes, don't stop to blink, just stare and laugh like love.
