Prisms Of My Soul

Inside this temple made of brick and clay the many shades of your heart are the prisms of my soul Pinioned and shackled to your fires we are vaulted by our own desires two lovers breathing as one Outside this prison of hell stands my nemesis buried behind its boulders I am decaying like a rotting apple de-pitted then discarded Bitwise assaults to my soul, I summon courage and finally break out of this ridged corrugated pas-a-deux.

As always you’ve woven a very sincere and deeply moving write that delivers such soulful emotions in such a poetic manner. So many lines resonated with me and i found them soul touching such as “ the many shades of your heart are the prisms of my soul “ love that! Made me feel soo much! “ Outside this prison of hell stands my nemesis buried behind its boulders I am decaying ” sometimes it feels like mind is a prison. And outside is the bitter reality, of time fleeting. Pleasure reading.FAV

Outside lies the bitter truth that time has no feeling to your feelings, it just moves on, regardless if your ready or not. Sometimes we need love to be our best friend, when the enemy charges through us like a thousand trojan horses. Love always wins, thanks for reviewing my poem dear Ink, may you be well always,

Indeed, love is our salvation and our nemesis, for it leads us toward and away -- the heart, the mind, often not able to distinguish between the better right, the least wrong. We are both human and divine...the divine wants to love unconditionally while the human wants to own exclusively. Fascinating poem.

Oh wow, this is such an intriguing poem, dear Rose. I especially love the title and was so fascinated! "the many shades of your heart are the prisms of my soul", "Outside this prison of hell stands my nemesis" Such evocative lines you've carved here... When the soul is imprisoned in the vaults of love, yet darkness bleeds in the final nemesis... Yet courage breathes its last hope, breaking free from the shadows.. Just impeccable, I absolutely loved reading this and you've brilliantly crafted it!

Dear Hiya, many have suffered great wounds in the hands of love, easy to call something love, but if it doesn't bear good fruit, we should walk cautiously towards it, thank you for taking the time to review my moment at such length, hugs

You should never let "love" imprison you. Then it stops being Love and turns into something ugly that takes away your freedom and happiness. A fine write my friend. God Bless and Merry Christmas, JB
