Amorphous Love

This piece is an ode to our passions, that truly act as our keepers in our times of joy, despair, anxiety and sadness. I think we poets shall relate most to this piece.

Walk over and see what I’ve done,

I haven’t seen the sun rise a day.

I can see it like a reel rolls as the old movies play,

Can you too see what I have called the sun?

 

I didn’t need the air to breathe,

I wonder if there’s still a need.

Who came and sowed this seed,

Only god can find now what’s lying beneath.

 

Can you play the role again my love,

Like a broken dream on the wings of a dove.

I’ll see you fly again someday.

 

I think I’ve found what I know is true,

I can’t see or smell but I know it’s you,

In a foggy dream I’ll maybe see you in some way.

 

The misty eyes don’t lie for too long,

To give way to the tune of the dawns coming.

Like the sight of light to a man that is drowning,

You came to me softly like a cherubs’ song.

 

You found me a home to call my own,

I became yours and yours alone.

I cannot comprehend this tone,

What it is you’re playing in my heart is unknown.

 

You left once and came again,

Let this not be a trend,

I know it’s you but not this way,

And to this day, I still don’t know why.

 

Just never leave me, however you be,

You’re truly my soul and all I need on a broken day,

to be consoled and reincarnate.

 

Can you play this role again my dear,

Like a new born dream on the wings of a dove.

I’m seeing you as I leave this shore today.

 

I always knew I’ve found what’s true,

I can’t see or smell but I know it’s you,

As I open my eyes to this day, I know I’ll find a way...

Author's Note

I started off as an painter, then moved into music to digital art, and now poetry.
Now as I look back through my journey, I realize that my most proudest as well as humblest moments have been because of my passions at each stage.

There's so much of ourselves that only our passions can bring out that conventional work or words can never think of evincing.

Your words are symbolic and yes easy relatable I think when one knows passion is what nourishes the soul and nourishing the soul can bring one peace then we have more answers than most will even ever question.

I believe that in a society such as the one we have created it takes a certain strength to remain strong and stand by the side of our passions - quite often they are easily ridiculed by those that do no understand exactly where they stem from - but in the remaining stoic and within the gentle nurturing we ourselves are given the gift of understanding just that little bit more.

Your words give cause for thought and reflection, something I myself always look for in a poem - Nice One XX

[Roshan Nair]

Thank you so much for the review and im so glad you liked it :) I completely agree with your opinion, its a tough road and even tougher life to commit a 100 % to our passions. Im hoping each of us can atleast commit a portion of acceptable time to immerse ourselves in them to let our soul grow a little by little with time. cheers :)

[Frozen Eyes]

From despair to hope, from uncertainty to faith the passion remains intact. I love the pace of the piece most. Its going into my favorites list. Thanks for sharing :)

[Roshan Nair]

Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked the piece and its pace. cheers :)

[Madison Rose]

Roshan, this poem is beautiful, and an excellent poem to follow your previous love poem! :)

[Roshan Nair]

Hey madison :) Im glad you liked this one too! and yea.. it is somewhat of an earnest follow up for what its worth.. glad you found it interesting :) cheers

[dan]

Roshan, This is probably my favorite out of your poems that I've reviewed. The way you mix things up: some stanzas rhyme scheme ABBA, others ABAB while others are AAAA and finally a few stanzas with no rhyme at all. I forget what this method is called (I took a creative writing course a million years ago) but you have certainly used it creatively and effectively. You've been on quite a roll; your talent seems to be blossoming before my eyes. Keep it up! take care...dan

[Roshan Nair]

Thanks you so much dan for those kind words of yours! This was again a very personal piece; Im trying to explore as much as I can emotionally on each write, the structure comes with whichever form seems the most comfortable with my thoughts at the time. I honestly have no idea about the rhyme scheme logic of it, but Im glad you liked this piece so much. you encouragement is gold to me, cheers my friend. :)

A poem that skillfully pulls the reader into a movie of choices and decisions, passions and desires. You have painted well (with words this time :) a captivating journey that takes the creative ones to joys and borders to be crossed.

[Roshan Nair]

Thanks a lot ! Im glad you liked the show ;) I appreciate your connecting with the imagery in the piece :)

[Valentine]

From the 6th stanza on it was just like you were talking to me. It was like I could feel the loss. Nice write. Kathie

[Roshan Nair]

Thanks a lot for the kind words kathie, Im glad you could empathize with the emotions I tried to convey. cheers

[Sindu]

Amazing ode! As much as the passions heal, make us feel and believe, equally it hurts as much when it cannot be truly uncovered.
Interesting how you jumped from one artistic arena to another..

[Roshan Nair]

Thanks! glad you liked it! Yes it is true, it hurts to leave passions worth uncovered. In my case, it was mainly constraints on time and tools that made me shift my creative energy from one field to another... now it resides in poetry :)

[AaronFreitas]

Awesome work! In your notes... our proudest moments are in our most passionate moments. Regardless of the art... when we pour our heart into it we have something to be proud of. I used to write a lot of songs and sing in a band and I was happiest when I poured my heart into my work. You make some great points in the poem... beautiful from start to finish!

[Roshan Nair]

Thanks a lot aaron for that kind review! its great to see another musician here, what kinda music were you into performing? Im glad you liked the poem, I knew the poets here would definitely be able to relate to the emotion. cheers

[AaronFreitas]

It was a rock band... I really enjoy all forms of rock. Love piano and things like that. Music is amazing!

[Roshan Nair]

Sweet man... I play with the college band, all sorts of rock music.

[AaronFreitas]

Thats awesome... a great way to express yourself!!!

[Cindy Marietta]

[Roshan Nair]

Thanks a lot abhilash, your reviews mean a lot to me, cheers!

[Sami Khalil]

We all have a role to play, to appreciate those natural passions for jobs, crafts and even other aspects of life. If we lose interest, we lose so many things in the process...Excellent pen upon this...:)....

[Roshan Nair]

Thanks a lot sami! I appreciate your kind review :)

[Sami Khalil]
