Chained to Here and Gone

Chained to Here and Gone

A Poem by Neva Flores Smith - Changefulstorm
"

Even if I go away my lips will smile with blinded eyes..............

"






































Chains quiver under the tongue of flames then lie dead to you
So how can they still sing to me until I cannot forget?
That the grip of time will never end
And even if I go away my lips will smile
With blinded eyes

A shell of seclusion asks at last if I miss those possibilities
Of your constant sifting through my soul and mind
Until hope is no longer a dream
And your flames breathe upon the petals
Chained in ecstasy

The gifts I wish away are still mine to have and know
Held by a single hand with no magical wand
Yet I seem to view the dawn
As a strange rain that brings me gloom
Chained to here and gone

If chains quiver under the tongue of flames then lie dead to you
What is this voice I carry inside my heart to remain?
When all it seems merely waits for me
To release my tears and sweetly smile again
Blinded to the chains

I quote various parts of your work because these are my favorites. I think there is a reality hidden within your words. One that I can sit as a bystander and watch the cogs move with grace. I'm a big fan of your writing and not because of your extensive vocabulary that is woven together like that of a songbird (that goes without saying.) but because you cater very well to your audience. I look forward to more RRs from you. J'adore.

I bow to you Neva..this is beyond words. I love it.. The "constant sifting through my soul" and "blinded to the chains"... sometimes the chains are out weighed by the memory.. :) x

Wow...This poem lingers in my mind...
Its funny how we can want a desire for something...
but not be capable of creating it.

This poem lacks nothing and has instantly wedged inside my heart, I think I'm going to need a bigger one to fit all of your poems inside. These words are truly crying, Neva, but not just for you . . . For all your readers.

Fearless and provoked in your delivery a minded response to a lacking quality, love and love alone, beautiful imagery, well done.

Why does this whisper to me both seduction and mistrust? It breathes toxicity, and sweet air...
