Volcanic Eruption of the Soul Poetry Contest
Sponsor- Kai Michael Nuemann
~ Placed Third in Premiere Contest~

 

At times the soul gets clenched, in an unspeakable grief. In a demoniac grip, it chokes and w r i g g l e s~ The pain of being stung by a dozen scorpions or hacked piece by piece by an axe. Tremulous grows the heart, over love that is spent, Seeks in vain to revive the joy that is gone, Strains to lift up the veil that d a r k e n s the soul, Wrestles to come out from the desolate cave of black solitude. The more it struggles to wade through the mess, the deeper it plunges into the morass of despair. Clung on talons of excruciating pain, wailing a long wail of never being understood, the mind goes berserk~ w h i r l i n g and c h u r n i n g. Anytime the volcano might erupt, emitting fumes of sulphurous smoke, with asphalt lava, spilling out, blowing life with its violent breath.

I think this is a definite win for a contest my dear friend, for it reaches right down into ones soul where love once lived but try as one might it cannot be revived. A wonderful poetess writing her usual breath-taking poetry. Hope you are keeping well dear Valsa and good luck. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Valsa, your outstanding verse digs into the deep sorrow of the human spirit, analyzing themes such as grief, despair, and the quest for mental release. The visual of sorrow and loneliness depicts the depths of hardship that may ensue from love's loss and the emotional upheaval that follows. Best wishes for the contest.
