pensive pollen

p e t a l s fall like shooting stars when windswept willows w h i r l and wave weeping no more~ veiled in volatile violets emanating angst of a spirit abandoned within an abyss of seething scars still bleeding yet pleading clinging onto crystal clear crevices as time forever teases with twigs ~ torn and tainted oblivious to the tears of nurturing nests consumed in opium rain I've long been blind to the swaying of solace entranced by the eccentric accents of darkness dusted in perfumed poise as songs of the soul drift through shifting colors of the seasonal sun like pensive pollen painting the sky in teal tints amidst the pain they carry from the heart of blue roses to the arms of cherry blossoms perhaps these words float through your pages like inked nothings but would you feel the fragranced metaphors masking the melancholy cloaking the chaos too reluctant to reveal the rising heat of fevered February as if the days seem longer while the moon forever remains eclipsed leaving the horizon frozen with fogs of frosted memoirs s p r i n k l i n g marooned memories so let this poem be another r e a s o n to erase the greyest emotion breathing from the twilight tides of a feathered ocean ...

IE, I'm divided on my own personality....do I let the words float like inked nothings, or do a feel the reluctant fragranced metaphors? I suppose it depends on awareness of what's happening in nature. I do like how you call attention to all this activity and how we can take a little time to observe it. Smiles, of course!!

Metaphors, alliterations and imagery at its best. Despite the sad content, your poem captivates the reader. Your opening lines are a vivid portrayal of alliterative enchantment. Life and emotions are predominant You are indeed the greatest..

Thanks for sharing your descriptive lines with us. I wonder what would happen if we erased our gray emotions. Would they pop up in another place. Sara K

I almost didn't want to read this bc Florida pollen is tormenting me this past month. Can't hardly sleep constant coughing. But I'm glad I did. It's beautifully written in your unique style

Sorry to learn that pollen is getting you down. I am sure which is farther south than I am that it is already very active there. Thanks for sharing. Sara K

petals fall like shooting stars.. ooooo that line !!! The imagery of that is absolutely gorgeous.. when windswept willows whirl and wave weeping no more veiled in volatile violets.. ooooo child those alliterations!! torn and tainted oblivious to the tears of nurturing nests consumed in opium rain.. mmmm the heaviness in that line is absolutely stunning.. would you feel the fragranced metaphors masking the melancholy cloaking the chaos… the depth in that line is incredible… like the pool of imagery metaphors in this piece !!! Articulated perfectly papii…
