"the solace of one"

“The Solace Of One”

 

　

I taste the color of orange

Illuminating across my mind

Filling the precarious shadows

With wondrous varieties

 

 

Upon this sleepless pillow

I have plucked the sacred pearls

Of many (un)jaded virgins and nymphs

 

As I sip upon the sacred nectar

Of their heavenly juices…nourishment

 

I seek the ever cascading simplicity

Of the sunlight across my delighted face

 

As I walk the people peppered streets

I find my soles have left several inches

Off the ground beneath my jaunty steps

 

 

My heart soars like a butterfly

Freely kissing the bluest of skies

And held aloft by a power unseen

 

 

The beauty of my single disposition

Rewards me with riches beyond Midas

And a perspective shared with angels

 

 

My single reality is my secret solace

And the boundless treaty shared

With the whimsical simplicity

Of my scarlet imbued sensitivity

 

 

The joy of the splendid sparrow

Is that he can sing the song

The sweetest sonnet that symbolizes

The beauty of knowing one’s soul

I couldn't have said it any better than Nate did in his comment. This poem is filled to the brim with beautiful poetic phrases that makes it a cut above the average write!

"I taste the color of orange
Illuminating across my mind" [Vibrant and creative delivery]

Of many (un)jaded virgins and nymphs" [Very tastefully and eloquently put]

I find my soles have left several inches
Off the ground beneath my jaunty steps" [Amazing imagery]

I was searching for inspiration and motivation to write a poem today that is in my head and with this poem which is actually a piece of ART I found it. My brother you got skills and whoever that person is that told you about this thank them for me and many other writers that will be blessed by your talent.

My single reality is my secret solace

Lines like this didn't not exist on this site until you bought them. I am looking forward to reading more.

Wow...this is absolutely breathtaking. Very beautiful! You have had your share of women yet you have found much more happiness in yourself...being single. Such an advantage. Enjoying the simple things in life...the beauty of nature. This piece was definitely beautiful and well-structured. It is inspiring. How? It teaches others that they don't have to have a companion to find happiness. Happiness is first finding...searching your soul and grasping it. Excellent read/well done! You are an awesome poet!
