Personal Space

Enfolded by pure blue light Bridging the gap to heaven Angels' voices carry solace Distinctly, they resound The encircling orb drifts Ever-morphing, ever-changing Ominously levitates Lingers atop the badlands Soapy force-field, of silken woven dreams Pushing, into the ashen unknown Splitting shadows Sullen charcoal black, to a hopeful chrome Convulsing, the pulsing orb of light A presence alike no other Engorging, expanding Compacting, condensing Purest o' fluctuations A heart so tender So mercifully soft Exists, within a bulletproof shell Within it - walking Dare not to set foot Dare not to touch An eternity, shrouded in uncertainty Cautiously Drifting through a biohazard...

Beautiful. I love that I get each verse and delight in reading them twice as they deserve, but I found myself wanting the added grab found in your talented rhyme. BUT, big but, rhyme is my personal favorite dwelling. I admire the brevity that speaks volumes in effectively poetic flowing words. I will be back. Wow, you ... CayCay

Thank you so much, CayCay! I'm always looking to "find myself", and personally have come to love a mixture of non, and rhyming. I agree that the brief, powerful ones often bring an especially bold impact, such as your "UNBOUND", and my "Winters' Morning".
