Eve Roper Poet Free verse

Wounded Sigh

Under flaming intimate heartbeat
Rhythm of the descent moon's sight
Velvet twilight grayness vision of night.

Still-life far away from the nearest street
Under the limbs of a tall hollow reject abstract
Flickering shadows dance lack 

Weary Wounded Sigh,
Hard soil suppressed deeper.
Tiredness of digging undulation,
Hunted near extinction for an acceptation
Of the dying soul beacon scripture.

Valsa George April 3, 2024 at 10:34 PM Life is a puzzle and it is an arduous journey of ups and downs. We often feel tired and fatigued. I can feel the pain hidden in these lines. A very poignant poem and great entry for the contest. All the Best, dear Eve.

Victor Buhagiar April 1, 2024 at 1:41 AM There will always be turmoil in this world because evil is everywhere. Can you imagine a baby being killed even while it is being born? Then we blame God for punishing us. But in reality we are punishing ourselves. Hugs. xx

Daniel Henry Rodgers March 28, 2024 at 10:49 AM Dear Eve, your poem has such a haunting depth, creating a portrait of weariness and longing amidst the flickering shadows of night. I loved how the imagery evokes a sense of solitude and struggle, where the weary sigh echoes the unspoken burdens the soul carries. Your words linger on the complexities of existence and the quest for acceptance amid the darkness. Loved It! - Blessings, Daniel
