LUMINOSITY

" a reflection of light "

    

                                                                                                 

                                                           

a lustrous traipse of visible light

pieces of a gem ignite

broken shards spilling bright

scatters of spark flutter and shine

slices of illumination

a gathering riot of splinters

assemble to intricate lines

interacting a weave of threads to bind

sunbathed ribbons escaping a window blind

an iridescent flood sweeping mean

ravished in the arc of a clear running stream

seduction counts each luxe to feed a greed

holding tight a fist full of beams

every spoke slices extreme

cutting the hand that feeds

offered piece by piece

the battered bow to believe

dragging their coin to redeem

a burden to seethe

I love how you twist the words to perfect meaning. I had to read again. Thank you my friend for sharing the outstanding poetry.

"holding tight a fist full of beams
every spoke slices extreme

this is exceptional word play
i really enjoy your style
it's expressive and explosive
words their own muse
but coherent enough to make heads of tails
or light trails
or what have you
fantastic and stimulating write
looking forward to reading more of yours

Saoirse, I am happy you enjoyed this. The world can show us such beauty and reality can be so cruel. Thank you for the review

a multi-dimensional and stark, "enlightening" read. you've surely got it all covered in the prism of your words and images with laser-like precision. the ending is an interesting reflection. vintage you ... :)

Wonderfully expressed words, unto the mind does one speak ;-]
