Red Fiery Poet Free verse

To Maria, From Red, With Love

Honey glazed eyes , 
perfumed with pristine Love, 
bears the burden of an ancient truth
HER heart is the melting point ; 
 the passage leading to secret doors
Yet to be unlocked... 
The canvas of HER mind 
is embedded with vibrant thoughts
streaming like incandescent dreams, 
She silently enchants her admirers with 
her wisdom and versatility
Yet..... 
Beneath the mascara ridden eyes , 
reclines a dormant rage as
Years of isolation had
turned this marvel into stone
Ravaged by the callousness
Of time , she finds solace in
nothing more than herself

Robert Johnson June 16, 2016 at 12:49 PM This is beautiful. Solace of isolation is evil personified. May joy and love and tenderness awake in the new days sun.

John Fleming May 30, 2016 at 1:28 PM I know this was constructed within the parameters of "Free Verse" but with a little tweaking I think this prose of yours could have even more impact as rhyming poetry. Powerful and heady stuff, Red - An undoubted seven! My best regards. :) john

Mark Peterson May 13, 2016 at 1:23 AM Oh my, this is chilling. Really quite engaging too. I enjoyed reading you this evening. Also saw your work with Paul, which is excellent. Red Fiery May 25, 2016 at 2:26 AM thank you my dear:)

Timothy Hicks April 27, 2016 at 12:31 PM Eloquent descriptions of a lady that has more going on behind the eyes that she is letting on. It is a matter of perspective on who has the key to these secret doors you speak of. Awesome writing skills that aims to probe deeper ... I don't know Maria but she sounds like an interesting person.

James Inman April 26, 2016 at 10:10 AM Beautifully written Red. For some of us, reaching out to others is a gamble. Like gambling losing is the most common outcome but the little payouts here and there keep us going until maybe we hit the jackpot.

Tim Smith April 25, 2016 at 11:53 PM I read this earlier but wasn't able to comment...sometimes the isolation is too much...gradually bring her into the light...wash away the layers built up...bring her back to HER...loved it Tim Smith April 25, 2016 at 11:55 PM maybe I did comment...lol

Paul Callus April 14, 2016 at 5:08 PM So pleased to find this new post today, Red:) This poem is beautiful and is written from the heart, about a person who you are very close to and know well. I only know Maria from her photos...she is pretty, with a lovely smile behind which mystery appears to be hidden. This poem makes us want to know more....hugs // paul

Tim Smith April 14, 2016 at 2:51 PM You painted a pretty picture of her. Someone anyone would want to call a friend.
