Steam - Respite In the Essence of Air

She watches in pleasure as you push away all............

She filled your air pretending to be life-giving water
Now you know that she is fire
Clouding your vision of the world around you
She traded your dreams for her desires

She watched with pleasure as you pushed away all
To give her your undivided attention
Finding fault in every move that you made
Leaving you with no honorable mention

Her warmth and beauty holds you under her spell
Stubbornly calling your thirst benign
For what now seems like forever a day and a year
Yet,  of her life-giving water there is no sign

Now you find yourself longingly staring into the air
Seeking a tall cool glass of respite
To quench your thirst and refresh your dry spirit
Restoring your dreams to your sight

Continue seeking life-giving water with great patience
Breathe in with the utmost vigilant care
In a vessel of a warrior fearless and wise
You will find respite…………
In the essence of air

Ahhh... Such a powerful message in this one Neva; one we would all do well to learn. All that sparkles is certainly not gold. You wrote this with such a perfect portrayal from the Vileness' perspective. I could almost here her utter "Muahahaha" under her breath as she bleed him dry; even taking great joy as he forsake all else for her emptiness.
Brilliant!

Thank you Veronica, I had forgotten about this one

[Veronica Chandler]

I am reviewing from the last page of my RR's to current, unless something on the live feed grabs my attention. This one was a pleasure.

A message well conveyed. The use of imagery is simply brilliant and the flow is smooth, so are the rhymes. Wonderful write! :)

[SoulCrusader (Yas)]

Wonderful poem, so relatable for me about being 'used' Love it, great work Neva:)

[Kenneth The Poet]

Very cool indeed. Very airy and thought-provoking too.

[Dream Weaver]

This is so wickedly good Neva...
It has all the right elements of a
tragic love interest set a blazed.
