Cryptic Messages

Cryptic messages grace the bottom
Of the wine bottle
As it slides past my humanity
And into my bosom.

No comfort expressed
In waves of uncertainty
Resolved in the madness
Only chaos brings true peace.

Distractions satisfy
My undying need
To harvest my fruit
And implant the seed
Of humility
Justice
Love for all things...
Isn't it funny
How the slightest little memory
Can somehow induce
such offerings?

Nicely thought and written.

This is the first I picked of yours to read. What a powerful and emotive poem -- it works on multiple levels -- timing, style, word usage, lovely.

Above words are true. Take a song, place or face to make us open up old wounds. I like the flow of thoughts leading to the strong ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

this flows really naturally. my favorite lines:
No comfort expressed
In waves of uncertainty
Resolved in the madness
Only chaos brings true peace.

To harvest my fruit
And implant the seed
