Petals of pain blossom into colours of Love

Listen to poem:
My soul is my guide.. Rumi I once adored the warmth of unreachable desires. Ascending too high, I fell from the sky just like Icarus. Suffering from the flames of fate, my eyes resembled a million candles burning tears of wax. But, I've always been familiar with fire, as I was born scarred from internal inflames. It's a blessing when strings of attachment cremate into ashes. Love is a vintage gold rose, an irreversible ideology, where thorns grow upon petals of pain. In an autumnal aura, all scents fade, so I remain in pale blackness - my sighs as heavy as smokeless tar. Yet, I know my soul will blossom, once again with robins in Spring, as scents of sweet almonds return with the rebirth of roses without thorns. In a world of imagination the colours of love are boundless. Romance is an opal rainbow over stormy oceans yearning for turquoise tides. If my heart was a gem, it would reflect like a scarlet diamond, walking upon malachite meadows, full of ivory orchids with purple lilies, admiring aquamarine skies, with hues of amethyst and citrine. We were all born to sparkle.. Under tones of indigo moonstone with hints of pink, my quill will scribble in lilac ink as love always returns. Simple Musing.

SO, this reflects the turbulence and ups and downs of love. Hopefully, we find a good situation that can last for a while, but it's not easy for many of us. There is a significant feeling of resignation and hope here, which make a very interesting combination of emotions. Smiles.

Outstanding poem my dear poet friend S.O. I loved reading your poem and listening your voice at the same time. I love this a lot and the title is so catchy. Usually, when petals of pain blossom into colours of love great creativity blooms too. You are very talented poet. Thanks a lot for sharing. I enjoyed immensely. God bless you always and your shining poetic talent. Hugs

Dear Silent One, this piece truly touched my heart on so many levels! Your wordsmithery is absolutely immaculate with impeccable placing of phrases together, to convey such soulful emotions... there's always light after darkness... and everything revolves in a cycle! I love so many lines here which spoke to my soul, especially "Love is a vintage gold rose, an irreversible ideology" That's sooo deep! And exquisitely crafted ~ "so I remain in pale blackness - my sighs as heavy as smokeless tar" All the similes and metaphors you've used in your poem are absolutely creative and profound. "If my heart was a gem, it would reflect like a scarlet diamond... citrine" I especially adore this stanza a lot! Keep writing and shining always! It felt sooo good to read your incredible work after a long time, keep inspiring us with your talent ~ this is a Fave

SO, A real pleasure to read about willingness to soar. Love comes in many forms. We can love people and what we do as well. Sometimes, as you say, it doesn't work the way we want it to. However, there's always another chance as long as we have the strength to display the gems we have. I am truly awed by the way you wrote this and love the message. It makes me wish that people such as yourself could be in charge!

Silent One, I can so relate to " suffering from the flames of fate" Such a wonderful line to tone your marvelous work and to base the need to rise again through the colors of love! Always so beautiful are your words!!

I read all the comments Silent One. Maria's comment I think nailed what you were expressing. The transition from a broken heart to healing with love returning through the mayhem, in the end. Your metaphors are exceptional, unique and clever Silent One. You can tell a story in so many different ways, I am sometimes amazed at your creative abilities, and the metaphors are so magnificently built to convey your message. As difficult as this may be for some you effortlessly create. Amazing work. S1

Dear S1, sorry I missed this Gem, your poem captures the journey from heartbreak to renewal with stunning, vivid imagery. From the fall of Icarus to the cleansing fires of past attachments, your resilience shines through phrases like "burning tears of wax." The seasonal shift from “autumnal aura” to spring reflects hope, suggesting love’s return in cycles. Closing with "as love always returns," it beautifully reminds us of love's enduring nature. A captivating blend of emotion and artistry!...Hugs

This was so therapeutic to me, the imagery carves a beauty in life that's yet unknown to me.. we were born to love but life overtime rusts our soul as pain fills up in heart. Sparkle ????

"Yet, I know my soul will blossom, once again with robins in Spring, as scents of sweet almonds return with the rebirth of roses without thorns." Amid the seething cauldron of pain, I have been looking for an island of safety and I found this. "I fell from the sky just like Icarus. Suffering from the flames of fate," Falling is O K, but refusing to get up is suicidal. "Under tones of indigo moonstone with hints of pink, my quill will scribble in lilac ink as love returns".... Again beautiful lines breathing hope. Wow... so heart warming! Into my FAVE.

Dear Silent one, its always good to read a poem that flows with not just brilliant metaphors etc but is one with gems and colors and more, with great and philosophical ways of depicting the subject or theme thats been written on, and youv done that in a very wise manner. Youv used both of my mainstream prompts very well here and given them life, and shown how exactly it should be done, although ofcourse it isnt for my contest you still have nailed it, especially love how youv said opal rainbow and also “ It's a blessing when strings of attachment cremate into ashes.” that speaks volumes! Pleasure reading! Sending you light

"Learn the alchemy true human beings know. The moment you accept what troubles (attachments) you've been given the door will open." -Rumi... In life we need to let go of that what we cannot control, especially to help our own peace of mind.. Or we drown in this flood we cause.. Nothing wrong with mainstream, it always inspires poets to write... I have read some amazing poems for this contest, mine just a mere musing in comparison.. Sending you light as always.. Peace and Blessings..
