Shatter

Shattering

 

I want to feel alive,

breathe in your fire,

taste your anise lips,

so come, shatter this frozen me

from shadow’s icy grip.

 

I want to see again

violin’s vibrating strings

wrap around piano ivory

toccata a spicy rum tune

that washes over me.

 

Make me feel alive,

let the river of you flow,

floating me down your rapids,

over rushing waterfalls

looking through mist to see lush valleys

filled with bluish orchids,

shatter me from this frozen life,

shatter me alive.

 

In these days of horror,

when many want frozen’s safety,

give me your dragon fire,

thaw my heart

with the wonders of caramel;

send me your music on butterfly wings.

Shatter me alive.

Amazing poetry my friend.
"Make me feel alive,
let the river of you flow,
floating me down your rapids,
over rushing waterfalls
looking through mist to see lush valleys
filled with bluish orchids,
shatter me from this frozen life,
shatter me alive."
The above lines. perfect. You made the reader feel the place and the emotion. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

Wanting to experience every second of life with everything you have is like a cry from inside, compelling to live life to the fullest.

As a side note:
Lizzy is one of the best singers in music. To join her with Lindsey Stirling is a perfect combination.

[redzone]

yea, agree about the music, I have heard the song with just Lindsey and while it was good and everything, it is even better with Lizzy singing and Lindsey's violin.. and thank you so much for the nice comment... glad you enjoyed reading it...

To bad so many are afraid of a little fire. They are missing out. Really nice poem.

[redzone]

Thank you James, for the visit and for the great comment... thrilled you enjoyed the poem..

Hard to get through that shell sometimes and those of us who hide behind one hope secretly that someone will come along to break it. Very romantic piece.

[redzone]

and shells are made to be broken... I have a trusty sledgehammer but cannot find anyone willing to shatter the shell around my heart... I'd do it myself but what good will a warm heart do if there is no one to share it with??? thanks Ana for your words on this poem...

[Papaya]

You're welcome. I was just watching the Thor trailer, for the millionth time. He has a nice hammer.

[redzone]

too blond...

[redzone]

he's probably more your speed, just be careful of that hammer though...

"I want to see again

Is it me, or could this stand on its own merit? Wow, you certainly know how to woo, my friend!

[redzone]

Hi Kelly, thank you...

[Lydia Shutter]

Romance can wake a person up...can move you over the cliffs and have the rapids wash over you. A cold heart needs to be thawed. A cold heart is not truly alive. Powerfully emotional write....so "nice". Lydi**

[redzone]

thanks Lydi... let the romance begin.. er... I'm waiting... er... oh well... but getting a "nice" review from you is better than romance... ;0)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, the way things are today...dragons would actually be welcomed..."shatter me alive"

great ending...let's bleed and know that we love.

Thanks Jacob... indeed many dragons are needed, fire breathing... and playing the violin!! ;0)

[Sami Khalil]

Majestic and beautifully alive. You shatter the ceilings of poetry if there is such. You also bring the violin to great effect to shatter frozen ears...:)....................

[redzone]

thank you Sami, glad you enjoyed the poem... and her violin is amazing isn't it...

[Sami Khalil]

It is indeed. And you are welcome ...:)...............
