Storm of roses

I am chaos and sereneness intertwined, 
a tsunami of fierceness and calm 
my heart is a storm, my soul the thunder, 
a duel in the sky for all to wonder

 
I am wild and untamed, 
in my eyes even the Milky Way sighs,
my laughter like an orchestra 
as I dance through life, 
fearless and carefree

 
I bring chaos and sereneness
wherever I go. 
love runs and hides whenever I am near, 
my heart dark, my soul cold, 
too many loves have done me wrong.

 
I am chaos and anger,
ripping roses from their vine, 
blood red, 
the color of my scorn.

 
where romance once blossomed, 
all time stood still 
when you left, 
my heart ceased to breathe,
crumbling like a lifeless rose,   
blown into non-existence 
by the storm of roses.

Dear Karen, This poem left me speechless; its not always I get to read poems like this on soup, one that is raw, soul hitting and just so very moving! Every word here left me speechless in awe as this resonates with me so deeply! The psychological nature of it and the way this flows in such a powerful manner is truly impressive! Especially love “ I bring chaos and sereneness wherever I go.” Duality well defined! Congrats on your first place win! Fave this is! Sending you light always

You have to read it all to get it. The feelings are not strange to me. And are worth just as much to talk about as love.
