Coming of Age

graceful lines curving
pale half moon meeting the darkened sky.
face betrayal
innocence meets reality of life.
the bud opens
and the flower emerges proudly.
strong statements
magnificence in darkness merging with light.
artful desire
smoky rooms and a burning bold look.


this is my voice
a body that erupts with life.

    Passion and particular moments - I read 'statements' as 'stamens' first time through. Very nice.

    I think you've honored your chosen prompt quite well, especially with your ending lines, Shibboleth. Indeed, to be any sort of creative being, we must certainly be erupting with life. Thank you for entering this into my contest. Good luck, Poet.
