! E L U S I V E!

Rating: 3.4


Plain white sheets I write on.....
one emotionless day stand still in front
its calm cold layers
freeze my fingers,
incarcerate mind’s fervor..
near I hear foot prints on sand
rain drops drizzle...
I hear.... tears from my eyes or
from the clouds above...
on grass I walk and I feel
so earthy, wisteria climbs and
drapes purple flowers on my dreams,
a sparrow so tiny finds a nest
on my bemused alphabets
wind blows slowly so softly and
whispers a secret, a fear
of a secret of a dream I dreamt
I take autumn colors
as its aroma is earth
and it is my color, a survivor
of my amber dreams
rest all shriveled as black, reflecting
life’s emptiness on the edge of a cliff
moving crowd....
as they move forward
no care, no feelings, no love
but flaunts a pale greed....
they move forward, in a hurry
in search of elusive self...

tears from the eyes the dappled flowers of dream the very secret of fear and the passing crowd these are all wonders of imagery flow across the plexus of life and living, yet ingenious resolving to a rune by the superb metaphores, wonderfully wrought over the white plain, the very voices over the black board in time and space, well penned,10+, thanks for sharing

i felt myself to be with you here, , the lines reflect nature and inner enigma with ellusive words, , , the emptiness in the end, , i like it...
