Onion Knight

A long, arduous struggle with no reward
other than what is your God-given birthright
Your spirit is within every flower and leaf
of this forest I wish to call my home
I shimmer in gold and silver
You reflect within my tears of blue

It's much too early to leave
Won't you rest for a spell with me?
This hidden hour of the morn
will never pattern our future in sepia

Hand me the half moon and I'll show you
the night time world we almost missed
I only ever saw that beauty in my dreams
yet somehow, it's within your eyes
Burning in your soul yet somehow
the pain lingers... even now

It's much too early to leave
Won't you rest for a spell with me?
This is the last lake we'll ever see
till we send our wishes to the ocean

I tend to ignore the darkness upon you
but I want it to be slain
No damsel in distress, just a daughter of Nature
Beautiful as ever, shedding the depression
to spread your wings anew
so you can save others

This really plucked my heart strings. It's so charming and sweet, a masterpiece of love and trust. I can feel as if this were being told to me, and words will never explain how I feel completely. Lets just say this makes me feel whole and at home. Embraced by the cool sensation of each word. I love it.

Very nice and different from the normal moods you portray in your writing. I love it

[Clara]

Gorgeous poem, E.
Well-penned.

[Avoiry]

Renewal is a wonderful thing but settling with your demons can be equally rewarding. I felt like this poem adressed both things in a way. Very even tone and it read wonderfully. Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful poem. The second stanza really shows your voice.

Really nice. I like these lines:
"I only ever saw that beauty in my dreams
yet somehow, it's within your eyes"

"shedding the depression
to spread your wings anew
so you can save others"
