Hold Me Against the Fences of Fate

Hold Me Against the Fences of Fate

A Poem by Neva Flores Smith - Changefulstorm
"

I am mellow with my wounds here in your trust................

"



























Come and bend my state of mind

Wind round me if you must
The night is pretty
With unnumbered stars
And I am mellow, with my wounds
Here in your trust

Gently touch my cheek
Hold me against the fences of fate
Winter winds are nothing to me my friend
It is life that harbors
That trumpet, which I must learn
To play once again

Be the sunrise of many years ago
Within this precious time
Raise me up to where grace’s garden
Will weigh much more
Than this wild jungle that rages
Inside of my mind

Then surely the whisper of my pen
Will reach the depths
To prove, that I am the woman
Who speaks the language
That can only be interpreted
Here inside of you

Drink my rain that kisses your heaven
Drops only you can see
Draw in each breath from my own
Dance with me now
Until out of my heart, my taste
For freedom, is gone

Neva, How you do write with such flowing lines of yearning passion that seem subdued. You send this reader off to reverie. Re-reading brings new mental images to everything you write. Your insights are such a delight. Keep your gears in overdrive, there they do grind the grist of your sweet flour.

Very good poem here. Gives me the feeling of pushing through rampant emotion.

This line, "Be the sunrise of many years ago Within this precious time," is so evocotive for me of times gone by. The line, "Then surely the whisper of my pen will reach the depths...," just rocked, and is comforting me somehow. I just loved this piece. Beautiful piece.

one can only escape with you Neva...for you lead us into those realms of poetic depth that can only be found within one who has experienced life with its joys and sadness...one who has lived life and felt its passion...desires...and the ever elusive love and emotion...very creative

I thought his was kind of sad in a way yet, strangely, happy to have the memories of those loved ones close by.
