Falling Again

inspired by "Pick a word like flowers"

Intoxicated
by the passion
coursing in veins
left dormant
by loves dying breath

I feel the vivid tingle
of life's caress again

Intimate touch of feathers
to pliant petalled skin
awakening dreams
too long ignored

Devotion
until now unkown
whispers its melody
with the tender purity
of a butterfly kiss

Insecurity
becomes a faded canvas
that cloaks remnant doubts
leaving them to dwell
in the arms of obscurity

And as the petals of promise
fall onto the pillow like raindrops
the light of a heart renewed
glows brightly amid twilight
like a kaleidoscope
against my silhouette

Author's Note

Inspired by a "bunch" of words in the contest, those being: petals, kisses, whisper, kaleidoscope, feather, silhouette, twilight, raindrops and tenderness. Hope you enjoy.

"And as the petals of promise

against my silhouette"

Wonderful imagery evoked here and I loved the metaphors.

Well done and good luck in the contest!

You have certainly made good use of the word bank provided. This is soft and almost lonesome. Beautifully executed. I enjoyed this very much. Thank you for pointing me to it. ~Pamela
