My pen’s whispers melt the silence
With a breathless touch of compassion
Blended into hues of softest memories
Soothing my melancholy with brilliant
Arrays of charming roses opening petals
To a golden sun who lights up the dawn
And sends reflections of faith to the noon
Coloring the world with embers of hope

Like a warm embrace lulls my doubts and fears
From their place inside my anxious thoughts
Echoes of creativity swim through my waves
Of emotional trembles, teaching me to reminisce
Evoke sensations of gentle truth through my 
Sensitive impressions of gloom and mystery
Enhancing my spirit with dreams of serenity
Abiding within my heart and soul, pouring fervor

Erasing all the crimson discouragement and blue
Flickers of uncertainty, reluctantly I appeal to joy
For the chance needed to feel fully, completely
All the exhilaration that I know lives within me
Where pride prays to humility and awakens the flow
Of sensitivity, capturing my feelings in the mystery
Designed by intrigue and inspiration, imagination
Painting the world in rewarding embers of elation

When I write from the core of my soul, opening
My heart to love that overflows with gentle bliss
I know the reason I feel so intently, so furiously
The passion that mesmerizes and enchants me
Keeps me alive with phenomenal fascinations
Thrilling the desires within, flaming lights striking
Radiant rays of promise, potential, possibilities
Dancing on the wings of captivating wisdom

When my pen reaches in – I grasp pure, flawless truth
A knowing that pours forth dreams from the soul!
Only God knows the muse that opens thoughts
Pierces wishes and awakens the truth of visions
Discovered within the one who sings a song of love
To the creator of all that is or has been or will be
The One who knows the heart’s deepest mysteries
And answers the prayers of every waking spirit!

Your lines are shadowed with thoughts and visions, sometimes appearing only in the mind, but if it generates verses such as yours, that's inspiration in its highest form. Congratulations, Regina.

Regina, your poem grabbed me, in the sense that it demanded I step into it. A marvellous ride resulted. Full of energy and grace. Utterly crisp comparisons, your fluid outpouring translates spectacularly.

Wow that is some opening stanza... You've really developed as a poet and this is one of your best and a fave for me... And I don't like poems about religion! It is our creator who knows our ways and what our heart feels ... I rely lik d your vocabulary here and usage of words to describe your feelings..
