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!

[AYVID N]

There's such beauty outside if we were not blinded by the achromatic flashes inside!
With every poem, I think Frieda said it all here and then you again surprise and amaze me with something totally unexpected and new!

Sometimes when we have to motivate ourselves to live on, these are exactly the sort of feelings I would try to stir in myself. Touching to the core!

[Frieda P]

Whew, unexpected and new, who knew, that's the loveliest thing anyone ever said to me....love you Divya!

[AYVID N]

Love you too ;)

[David Scott]

Yes, if we would or could just open our souls to the light, our hearts would see the joy laid out before us and the monsters in the dark would look less terrifying. Just like when we close our eyes and hide under the bed, when we close our hearts and hide our souls we live in a quivering weakness. "let the sunshine's inrush reflect in your eyes"
Well said.

[Frieda P]

Under the bed seems safe sometimes...but that's not living...as we know it should be. Thanks so much David.
