On the Wings of Words

On The Wings Of Words

For quite a time no word would rhyme 
So heavy is the quill, so dense is the ink
And the word just succumbs and loses its prime 
While the heart carries its weight and drops its link
*****
No woven words would whisper a woe 
To a hidden power of surrender that started to reign 
As a valiant heart that denies the victory of a foe
And greets pain not just in drops but rather rain
*****
I run of Light
Feel so tight
I seek sight
To dare night
*****
My word swallowed its sound
As I sighed for silence
A wish to have the soul drowned 
And attain the presence of a guidance 
*****
I want to remain silent 
Be aware of each moment 
Render the dormant vibrant 
And inner beauty fluent 
*****
I want my word towards the zenith mount
Be light and crystal, intense and of worth 
Be of insight.. inspiration, a real fount
My spirit on the wings of words to a rebirth..

This is indeed a very soul stirring, poignant and evocative write with different emotions, ranging from darkness to yearning for light and hope. I can truly feel the vulnerability to my heart's core and somewhat these lines deeply resonated with me.. "So heavy is the quill, so dense is the ink" So aching.. "My word swallowed its sound, As I sighed for silence" Very heartfelt dear beautiful poetess.. This piece is definitely a FAV! Sending you lots of love and best wishes- Hiya :)

I admit I missed your beautiful, emotive poems. Today's inspiration is worthy of acclaim and deserves a POTD. Yet I feel sadness. Hope all are well at home. Personally, I was very sick, but now I'm on the mend. Blessings my friend.
