Lavender lullaby�

To a friend who has bled�

 

 

A smiling blade once kissed your skin

Bleeding ruby emotions from within

For pain inside could not be carried

One would bleed or soon be buried

Yet your life holds a silver sunrise

In the deep recesses of your eyes

And hope is fire and shades of light

In the darkest corners of your night

So I sing you now this living sigh

May you rest in this lavender lullaby...

I love this poem! Great work. I enjoyed your addition of various colors throughout the poem. "Ruby emotions." "Silver sunrise" (I love that line!). "Hope is fire" (that's yellow/golden/orange/red). And you bring in "light" and "darkness" too! Black and white. Or shades of gray? Oooo. And, of course, the "lavender lullaby."

This is an excellent work! You use the universality of colors to convey feelings and such. Great work! I am impressed.

Colourful and this poem shines like a light in the night. A very beautiful, deep poem, one that reaches right into the heart of human emotions. The rhyme scheme was brilliant, the flow was very tight and precise. It was short, but sweet and filled with so much meaning it almost seemed like a long poem. Strong, bold and brilliant.
I love how you incorporate colours and sensual themes to elevate your work into a sublime presence, a very natural and almighty one!
Thanks ever so much for sharing! You truly are an inspiration to us all!
