Silent One Poet Free verse

If truth had a colour

In this kingdom of fragmented gates,
I'm frustrated in being chained in a glass mansion.
The world is trying to change me,
forsaking my 'chess of life' into ruins.
I yearn to soar like an unconfined eagle,
but my talons are like frozen footsteps on glaciers.

My heart used to illuminate like the northern lights,
like a perfect portrait of a poetic sunset.
Now the unkind mind of humankind attempts to mould me,
tormenting the claws of my tiger spirit.

Upon a path of nomadic illusions,
spiritual delusions, struggle to salvage sunrise,
when the horizons are a blanket of black.
Crooning clouds resemble melancholic tones,
when twilight bleeds in burgundy blood clots.

I see seas of sorrow with an unstoppable ending,
when Satan's sighs summon a history of hurt.
His garnet eyes feel like thorns in peacock feathers,
silencing sentiments into a voiceless cocoon,
spiralling spicing moments into solitude, so I summon 
my Goddess of Thunder.
The enigmatic voice of my queen of the night,
resonates in calming flawless frequencies.

Like art from abstracts of an architect,
we bathe in my pool of sentimental stars,
delicately dressed in dancing dandelions.
Each petal sparkling in a lake of rose quartz,
under a moon affair of astral rain-dreams.

If truth had a colour it would be her chocolate eyes.
Her celestial nature tells me heaven can wait.
No longer is my concrete onyx heart on fire,
as it glows like a trillion golden dragonflies.

Ink Empress May 14, 2024 at 10:36 PM Awn sweet silent one! You words make me go all wowe! In awe of the way they flow with not just exquisite alliterations but also with so many deep and profound emotions! This one hit me so hard! Especially the opening, theres so many in this world, that would resonate with that. Somehow we feel chained in some ways, but do we realize how the prison really is within our mind; so many great metaphors in this! Longing for freedom and to soar so strongly evident! Pleasure reading you always

Duke Beaufort May 12, 2024 at 2:51 PM SO, this is a great companion piece to your poem "delusions." There are complex factors of the environment that affect our thinking and which try our patience. You put all this in such great poetic terms....it could apply to all kinds of situations and hopes.

Sotto Poet May 12, 2024 at 6:23 AM Dear friend SO, a superb poem about the pursuit of freedom and self-discovery in the face of personal and cultural limits. Your exploration of subjects such as inner conflict, emotional struggles, perseverance, spiritual development, and finding inner peace in the face of outward upheaval is very captivating. You paint this emotional trip with breathtaking imagery and metaphor. The use of vivid imagery and poignant phrases such as "frozen footsteps on glaciers," "northern lights," "tiger spirit," "crooning clouds," and "pool of sentimental stars" weaves a beautiful narrative. A passage that adds dimension to the poem is "Satan's sighs summon a history of hurt," which demonstrates personification. Words like "spiritual delusions, struggle to salvage sunrise" and "Goddess of Thunder" that rhyme add a melodic quality to your magnificent poetry.
