Are the tides your ally?
~(Tell me, love.)~

original poetry


f474d6c3d3d81c3a4fdead3c28f4f580-d8su4a3.jpg


I.


Are you able to
Move with the motions?
Turn with the tides?
.
Are you able to
Detoxify your passions?
Eviscerate your pride?


Expect the unexpected to
Realize the smoothness
Of the hectic cosmic waves
.
Elect to now reflect through
Oscillations of perfection
How the universe behaves.

Excuses thrown aside,
Distortions rendered nil.
Nowhere here to hide,
Save on the harrows
Of eternal sill.

II.


Perch me there
On the iris' edge
.
Where I can gaze into
Your galactic array

~
Your body, the crocus
And colorful sedge
.
That burns in a splendor
My surface to flay.

III.


Your beauty surpasses
The axis of time;
Your rhythm exceeds
Satisfaction of rhyme.
.
I'm asking soft queries
To hear your reply,
Your voice ever sweet
Though our parting draws nigh.

IV.


Infinity
Is the heart
Breaking

.
But never
Becoming broken.
.
Since our love is priceless
I squander the shimmering token.
.
No thing can last,
Nor thing can be lost.
No question be cast,
Nor question can cost.

i love your poetry u always share awesome poetry nice
one .

this time the rhyme is great! it gives some additional colors
I like the 1st part the most

I have begun to "expect the unexpected" ... great word choice! and it's very important as I have mentioned in my last post-))

Thanks @taliakerch! You always provide great feedback. I agree that the first part is probably the strongest. I want to start working on longer form pieces, but I find it hard to carry forth clarity through a whole work!

Yes, I've found your recent posts on psychology of phrasing quite enlightening. Keep up the great articles!

oh, thank you so much! psychology is an interesting topic)
and you're right, to bring the idea along the whole poem is not easy

maybe I am not modest, but I need your feedback too)
I was inspired by your poems and tired to make my own one)
of course it's not so perfect and dramatic as yours, I'm not a master, and it's rather primitive because of my nonperfect English, but it's a sincere try)

Inspired by @d-pend...

Hundreds of feelings,
Hundreds of miles,
My soul is bleeding,
I dont see the lines.

This pain makes me dark,
I'm burning inside,
I need just the spark
Not to lose all my mind...

I wanna be free,
Fly fast in the sky
To reach what i want,
And do what I must.

too modest to make a separate post with a poem yet..-)
but I can show it to you (in whisper almost-)), like to my teacher and I hope my friend)

Wow, the rhyme is flowing so nicely. I enjoy reading it and reading it again. Congratulations!

thank you!!)) i had real doubts if it was worth any attention..

It's really nice. Good job!

Hi @taliakerch, I'm honored that you felt comfortable to make an attempt and post it here! I like how you captured raw emotionality as well as a sense of detached confidence in your piece. I really apologize for the delayed response because I was traveling a lot recently, but you are welcome to share your writing anytime...

If you enjoy it and practice writing your thoughts in poems (I call it my abstract journal where I record my life) then you will gain in confidence, and maybe one day feel motivated to even post them!

You posses the power of speaking to all that listen
How it feels like a transmission
so personal
so private
so real

This reminds me of Jim Carey's painting called entering the atmosphere.

The original picture is from Yahoo news.

Love always is & was eternal topic and most interesting to talk about. Lust, passion & greed ruin true emotions because what happens in the material world is the weak reflection of true love. When we stand on the seaside our reflection is there in the water but still not same as the original, on the banks of the sea...

If there is the perfection of abstraction in the words of poetry, then it is the words of a great thinker, poet and great man. Perfection smells like a victory after defeat, creative dust is removed from the crowd of believers - the beach burns from heavenly love. Perfection at work - you can only do this my friend @d-pend
