Unleash Your Soul

Sometimes we can't see what's right in front of our noses...written for crankypants.

Eyes have it,

          windows of expression

can I reach into yours

          and pull out your soul

there's a void in your being

         where color used to breathe

you blink a thousands deaths

 before I wake

darkness overwhelms

  the sight's vitality

reality has robbed you of your vision

Paint a picture in your mind

 of sweet subsistence

         as good a place to start as any

add lush emeralds of rain-forests,

 lapis lazuli majestic seas

buttercups and lemon pie

 of days beginning,

magenta and ultramarine 

azure puffy pillows,

  blush of crimson

 scarlet blossom tears desire

Achromatic flashes

          keep you from seeing

                 the twinkles impulse

         cobalt bedazzlements 

shall open your eyes

     to heartbeats

  a thousand kisses deep

let butterfly sparks

     flaming incandescence lead the way

open your soul,

          let the light refract 

  diffuse your vexation

             extend and clear your heart's view

     let the sunshine's inrush

    reflect in your eyes

What can I say...I truly expect before long there will be a new style of poetry named...like Haiku, Villanelle, Limirick, Senryu, Tanka, Acrostic, we will also see Frieda.

Your style is so unique and refreshing, like a warm sunny day in the middle of the harshest winter, your words shine.

[Frieda P]

Wow, you have no idea how grateful I am for this review, only because I need to shove it in someone's face since they think all I can write is dark and depressing, you made my day, no my week!

You have such great style and such great word selection.

You painted this piece so perfectly in my mind with words as bright as you.
Thank you for sharing :)

[Horizon K.]

Some people only see things from the negative side. If only we could open their eyes and pour in your words Frieda...
A beautiful one, as I drag myself to sleep... hopefully my dreams will be full with these bright imaginings you inspire...

[Frieda P]

What a lovely review Horizon, thanks so much...

[Deuces]

Beauty only exists to those who are open to receiving it. You write wonderfully and melodically... this was relaxing. Again, thank you.

[Frieda P]

If you can hear music in this, then you are one that can capture the beauty all around you, thanks so much Cyntax.
