Shadows Seek My Eden

Shadows Seek My Eden

A Poem by Neva Flores Smith - Changefulstorm
"

I know of something acquainted with the nearest shadows...........

"

























I know of something acquainted
with the nearest shadows
seeking to stand in my Eden.
Seen as flames
my footsteps have gone from this world
I no longer taste their freedom.

The cold hard ground checks my validation,
keeps me here every day.
Beautiful places like that of my Eden
make passion felt even more,
losing the mask of my face,
slip sliding away.

All the beautiful seals are removed from my bells.
However, I still hear them ring.
My feet once danced as unbound flames
in my lovely Eden.
Until shadows sprang from pages
and began to sing.

Moments are erased revealing thoughts,
opening the heart
when the earth hangs on a day’s silence.
Questions rise then crumble
into the nearest shadow’s hands that fight
my splendid Eden’s wildness.

Encase a diamond, in a ruby, within a saphire and you have this poem. That clear enough?

There is a calm that came from this lovely write. To be honest, it seemed as though you traveled in and out of Eden at will. What a nice vision.

I love the beautiful images of this poem
something tells me this poem is more
about grief than losing Eden to sin
It has a touch of melancholy in it
It's beautiful.

Love the title (Beautiful writing as usual) I loved the last two stanza's of this piece...

'losing the mask of my face,
slip sliding away.'

Wonderful!

The Eden that we know could not transpire without the brokenness of a woman's heart. Sad, seductive......chilling. xo

This is excellent, like watching an erotic scene unfold from the pages of a romantic novel.
