Individuality

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poetry is inside another time,

licking rust-flaked paint off some caged-curled dreams,

there is nothing here but echoes: slipstream

wisps that linger around yesterday's throw.

Maybe tomorrow will discover words,

look away, gather up the footprints left,

take them to fields where quiet language blooms,

solid moments shake foundation's present,

thumbs crack bones in sighs of disappointment.

 

New scenes wave blank passion at old sections

of individuality while flaps

track the stars blinking possibility -

ruin across vision - thought - reflection.

Inspiration laughs when everything seems

redundant in a world of poetic

shivers which shrug paper frowns through cold smiles.

    "....poetic shivers which shrug paper frowns through cold smiles"---vividly descriptive.
    Beautiful imagery in a well written poem. It shines.

  • I liked reading this, even more so since my inspiration has been kind of...dead...today. This, I think, will liven it up

    Great write

    Before I comment on this poem, what I find amusing is that before mine you only have four comments and three of them are yours. Yes so true, for poetry lies buried in the past, in the present and even future. It is all around us, just waiting for its time, its time to surface and shine in the minds of poets from all corners of the globe. Your imagery as always is awesome here and I too at times have related to the imagery you've painted here. Take care poet and keep on writing on...

    Im correct in assuming the title is your old moniker here? I like it, some fantastic imagery, I could so relate this to AP at times, popularity versus poetry.
    Cheers

    Fragrant Discoveries


    Capture a grin in the palm of your hand,
    dance light through the face of delicious hope,
    shiver sweet scented love down life's cool slope
    while gentle songs grip your beauty's dreamland.

    In a quick lively tempo laughter sighs
    while eyes surprise a delicate disguise
    and flies right past moonlight to soft sunrise.

    In the flickers of candlelight's fluttered flames
    desire strums soft passionate existence,
    feel the wondrous spirit's floating essence
    within hearts which caress each other's names.

    In a quick lively tempo laughter sighs
    while eyes surprise a delicate disguise
    and flies right past moonlight to soft sunrise.

    Wrap up sorrow's fragrant discoveries
    in silk ribbons of colourful wisdom,
    enjoy flowing skirts in nature's kingdom,
    worries will fade in her bright sceneries.

    In a quick lively tempo laughter sighs
    while eyes surprise a delicate disguise
    and flies right past moonlight to soft sunrise.

    Crushed Shapes

    In the deepest recess of this cold heart
    lies a silent betrayal: love found-lost
    within the confines of passionate beat.
    Rose petals gather truth; flutters of sighs
    which linger above chambers; vast oceans
    swallowing grief like candy-coated dreams.
    Eyes spy affection, giggle-danced from hair
    trapped inside wind's solemn embrace; so tight,
    effortless in throes of lust, want, desire.
    Never-ending circles of romance flip
    across separate lives - wings of beauty,
    the visions of colourful smiles; sweet fun,
    went dull, grey with pain's vicious silent call,
    time spills tired ink throughout all the crushed shapes.
