Color Surety

Canvas, calm, grinning. . .blank Had words screamed, scarecrows trapped on the poles of their creators, Had words formed psalms that barricaded the strongholds of the heart, Divine despair would desperately take hold again, Embellishing the muse To smile, the impassive smile. . .confuse Enraptured by your tail, Coiling, boiling in the hot and hungry sun The eyes, clouded, caught in a moment of inexorable suffering Death glistening in the confirmation of tears and groans, Shading the dialogue that never surfaces Justice in pale focus. . .constant, still held in out-of-the-blue faith Please, Do not allow your perspectives to dull Waiting so long, I deafened the cries The very cries I so blindly expressed. . . Words etching existences imagined I want you to take the hand of uncertainty For as I have, I forever feel the tremors that have given me shape Those very hands create what you dream, And not what you fear Take that hand, Squeeze it tightly I promise you, once you touch. . .I will never let you go For I love you, Oh, unexplained hold. . . Help me escape the newborn deaths of today Teach me how to step over the carcasses of calamity Where the innocent die to inspire the remaining Learn how to lead me into the lights of your eyes Please, Give me your beautiful hand, I will take you to places you will never understand And it will be okay Because where I go, The scarecrows roam with the roaring ravens Making music with the pulse of their wings With the sharp click of their beaks Where I go, Psalms of serenity's back way make love with impending day, Spinning despair into the golden hairs of suspended May Where I go, innocent flowers freely giggle arrays of life And his tail whips mightily, His black velvet purrs arousing breaths of caramel verisimilitude Where we stay, In the forever grip of the trust you and I made, Justice is pure water, Cool and refreshing. . .ever smiling Please, My love, please Hold onto this world with me Give me your needs that I need. . . And I promise perspective will prosper The canvas, one blank, filled with detailed destiny of Color Surety October 19th, 2014

I missed a very colorful and imaginative piece ... I would like to see where these scarecrows roam and hear what music the birds make. The images leave much to ponder, where expectations are turned up on their heads: "death glistens" "musical crows" ... your poetry always stirs up instant pictures in my mind's eye, making it very easy to step inside the scene of your imagination and passion. Excellent writing, to say the least.

This poem is far beyond satisfying Laura, it is electric enlightening!!! You express a courage that needs the encouragement of salvation through companionship, its just extraordinary! The crows, scarecrows, the trust, the surety and futurity are angellicly provided from your beautiful self. Surety is a powerful concept, esp. with it's legal meaning, which you so inteigently convert into spiritual import. "For I love you, unexplained hold..." and that final verse, Ah...what majesty of heart. JAB.
