Soul's Abode

charcoal clouds
  plunder unholy
bullets of rain
  on window
             panes of  
                       pain
  
forlorn flutes
  summon
crows & ravens
  ebony eyes
hunger to
  abduct a
            pomegranate
                          ruby              

in motions
  of seeking 
deeper depths
  where words
drown spirits
  mind spins
               to lose
                    connection

disconnected
  dwelling within
the soul's abode
  whispers
soft & pure
  direct
towards
           a path
of lanterns
           reflecting a 
                       starry night
in each breath
    in each sigh
like a flightless human
    sore spirit soars
to realms
            unseen
to worlds
            unknown

silent
  esoteric echoes 
of mystic music
   willingly
manipulate melancholy
   as mute melodies
unlock gates of
                   Serenity &
                             sincerity

embracing stillness
   silhouettes &
shadows dissolve
   illuminating
the temple 
  of a
human heart's
  soothed soul
resembling a
  golden orb halo
transcending in
  amber orange
                   horizons

free from confinement

Tonye George Date: 3/13/2024 7:24:00 PM I love how it explains what happens to someone in a flash of evocative metaphors. How we disconnect from the things we want to do or the dreams we plan to fulfil. But there's always a light to heal our broken spirits. Lovely written Silent. Login to Reply

Jude Herrick Date: 3/13/2024 2:25:00 PM I like the metaphors pomegranate ruby being a tearing at a heart. Bullets of rain on the pane of trauma. Till the north stars guide a change in mode, second wind carries its white horse with golden orb halo. Epic write, Silent One. Login to Reply

Duke Beaufort Date: 3/11/2024 5:50:00 PM SO, this is a wonderful description of the human soul. My own thinking is we have reached a level where we can contemplate these things. You probably know what I think about souls, but I love the way you write about being human. Many yearn for transcendence. Login to Reply
