Strawberry

STRAWBERRY

Can you feel the warmness of the sun, 
reflecting off the red tones of my hair.
The sun touching the edge of my toes!
My seasons true nature ignited by a layer of flares.

Can you feel the stars shine for me at night?
While the moon beams a color of envy.
Can you see me lost underneath the crimson tide in the clouds.
Some where out there my eyes wonder for you.

Can you feel the fresh bruise in my strawberry heart?
As it bleeds every day just for you!
Wondering if life can ever be sweet like sugar and glue.
Crying under the night and its skies is how it would seem.
Lost in a midnight red field in a forever dream.

Can you feel the texture of my wounds?
They feel rugged like rocky mountain sour berries.
Covered in daiquiri as I drown under the rivers current.
Attracting canaries to enjoy my wild strawberries.

Can you feel the wings of my broken dreams?
Here I am falling off the cliff and the feeling of love.
Abandoned like a batch of strawberries for its flaws.

Do you see me standing with a sad look.
Can I show you all them hammer hits I took.
That will be the end of story, to my book.
How my strawberries have beauty that you over looked.

Chris G. Vaillancourt January 22, 2014 at 7:42 AM Some amazing word usage within this piece - It definitely has allure and charm. I give you credit for this fine, fine piece.

Andrea Dietrich March 23, 2013 at 12:10 AM PD I thought I had seen all your poems. Maybe I saw this before. I am too lazy to look through your many comments and see if this is one of yours I'd seen already. But anyway, I love this one. Very nice!!

Zzzzz Zzzzz May 5, 2011 at 2:08 AM A highly imaginative write, full of vivid images! Powerful emotions are beautifully conveyed here.

Gabrielle Alcazaren May 1, 2011 at 5:03 PM It's so appropriate that you began everything with "can you feel" because this explores such a variety of sensations, tastes and textures, I love that. And I also like the motif of the color red and the strawberries.

Desiree M April 26, 2011 at 8:31 PM This is a very beautifully written poem. Only a talented poet is capable of expressing pain in words so well when suffering that much. Concerning my soul mate, well 6 years went by and we are still trying to go strong. Things get really rough and weird sometimes, but lust+karmic connection+love wins over us all the time ... We have extremely incompatible tempers though ;)

Phyllis Babcock March 23, 2011 at 8:28 AM This is beautiful and touched my heart with sadness. I like the way you used it in reference to strawberries which is very different but works wonderfully. Well penned and very unique. love phyl

Michelle Mac Donald March 20, 2011 at 11:47 AM Beautifully penned, p.d. Sadness and melancholy. You might be be "standing with a sad look", which breaks the hearts of many here! God's blessings to you! Mikki
