WORDS TO IMAGE ((open collab.))

A picture holds a thousand words...

((EMPHASIS))-

A starry gaze through wonder

Seeing the colors through the grey

A compelling emotion which we find our best selves in

Drift with me-

((WARREN SMITH))-

And do you require

Gratified desire

To quench the burnings

These things they entice

Seduce and invite

Through the weary day

We’ll find a better way

 

((WOLFWIND WORDS))-

Through the midnight black

Upon waters of liquid moon shine

The glory is hours

Which we will define

 

((LILY MAE))-

It’s here in this place 

Where dreams mimic the songs being sung from a distant 

Turning into colored ribbons of reality

A melody being sung inside my arms outstretched

In the eyes wide open

Here is where dreams are born and reality takes hold

 

((EMPHASIS))-

Wondrous is its stain

That snipes across the sky like a star

Holding virtue in its name

Adrenalin pumps in tinted light

Conquering reflections of words mocking in clouded surroundings

Weeping themselves parched bidding to drown its shine

 

((DEAN V.))-

It’s you… it’s her

In radiant shine

The only ray beaming in my storms eye

Such a brilliant delight

Solidifying a calm

For my heart to take flight

 

((SIRUS))-

A drift to drift

We’ve come so far

From then for now

Symbolizing in stars

A path for lyrical kisses

Promising alone but not apart

My love

True love

This is where we are

 

((LILY P.))-

Shaft the negative to lid the positive

Dreaming a dream turns proved

A mindful of music breaks free in the wind

An unstoppable strength unleashes within

Let loose

Grasp what is there

Let the miscellaneous harmony unfold

On this path label it yours

Tread with a head high

 Take control

 

((TRINA93))-

A smile overrides a bad day

Sometimes it can change everything

A pure welcome

Words with no speech

For yours, for you

For mines, for me

 

((GAMEOVER))-

Still light

In the still of the night

Still love

In the still of like

Still right

In the still of trite

Still might

In the still of fight

 

((INK CRAZED)) -

A plan we all have

Pay attention as you seek

It presents itself in time

Whispers in hazy scenes

Soothing is the trance to choose

When you choose to set free

 

((WILLY WAGG)) -

Seeing what’s there

Can’t seem to grasp it

Time reminds the maybe

Am I that weak?

Am I that strong?

To remain buoyant

I will

I will

I’ll wait for my want

I’ll wait for my need

I’ll be locked in the forever

Waiting for a finding

 

((SHANIKA)) -

Deepening anguish of aching in questions

No more

My nightmare screams of things unseen

Are silent

Darkened obsessions the constant rage

Is calm

Today my freedom soars

 

((MY PEACE)) -

What you get is what you see

Set in stone says reality

What we see are the fantasies

Artists view things inversely

 

((EMPHASIS))-

Never letting go of what hasn’t been tried yet

A sweet unknown

Delicately verbalizes homage with no falsification

Outlined in rhythmic rhyme

It illustrates a link of no measure

Pretend… crave… and be…

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

It says tome that the beauty of the world is how we all see it differently through our own eyes... what a wonderful combination of talents.

[Lily Mae]

I didn't know you had put it all together... Thank you for the fun and I think it's great.. A perspective and view from the minds of many :) xo

[MandaBear]

This is a cool poem. i love the unique way this was done. great job:)

[Diwakar - "The Warrior ..]

A gaze of detachment, Colored with watery thoughts,
Expressively waiting till dawn, even flowers have crossed ingots,
A stubborn believes resides in eyes, hairs soaring to touch in hope,
Flowers set to shower, No room left for mistaken grope.

[Chris]

"Image..."

We are the stuff ...of dreams
and seems and dragon scales
and faerie tales ~ hopes and wishes pure.

And moments where we reached beyond
our ...selves and found -
we didn't know who we were.

And yet we see tomorrows
that haven't come
and may never be.

We can cry and try
and still know we won't succeed -
but damn - we reached!

Chris

[The White Wolf]

Wow~ I have never seen such a large collaboration! This was great. I can't help but think of, because of the image of the rainbow and the words that ooze authentic feelings, that this poem is about soaring high above hope in search of a new beginning...through poetry. That our words can help us fly by giving us wings. Very nice work on all collaborative angles :)
