~Soul's Inferno....

Scars beautify the soul..

Soul purgates in the scalding fire...
Each testing flame feeding,
On my striving vein...
Birthing the marks,
Mortifying Ulysses scar...

The showers from heaven,,
Reach my dark cavern...
Trying to wash the blemish
Off my resolute skin...
I know the scars are unseen,
But with my spirit they are akin....

No generous outpour from Hyades,
Can cleanse the stubborn scars away...

Each blotch a laurel on my naked soul...

I feel the droplets touch my being...
Daring them to turn me away from my dream...
Scars beautify my purified soul,
Proving i have lived life to the full...

You write beautifully, keep up the good work, I love the ending, I always pay attention to endings even in my own work, to me the endings are what really defines a piece

Wow! It's poem of fine imagery with strong word power and as for the title is more powerful and innovative....Most titles of your poem are superb and powerful and different aptly drawn.....I have gone through and decide to review then continuously....as for as my mind gets it......

[Sophy Freebirds]

If it isnt ambiguous it isnt a poem. So feel free to share you side of interpretation. Thank you for your kind words.

[M.A.Rathore]

You mean poetry a subject of ambiguous mystery?
Or a spontenious overflow of powerful feelings .....
Or poetry should be in as common language as the public speak it or something superflues or supernatural as Colerige regards against Wordsworth...

[Sophy Freebirds]

I dont go for others defination. According to me if poetry does not have rhythm and ambiguity it is not poetry. You need to get into the poet's mind to uncover what he means.anyways thanks you

[M.A.Rathore]

Very well said..I do confess for your innovative ideas regarding the subject and style of poetry.Poetry is feelings of heart not mind. The place where it becomes a poetic prose of well conceived and wisely usd. Defining poetry we may proceed from mind to mind and philoshophically we shall get totally different though accepted form....

[Sophy Freebirds]

Poetry is a.very abstract thing to define. Thoughts come from mind and feelings come from heart.

the amalgation.of this two gives you poetry. A poem may be interpreted differently by different readers. If you wouldn 't have thought about grammar would you have wrote about love in your poem. Isn't it. And in this cafe we are free to express our thoughts.

Ah, who dares not to burn in the inferno of life -- some to count the scars like blossoms on the soul, while some; like blemishes on a mirror. Either ways, we are ablaze in its fire till the last breath turn to a breeze outside the clay doll.

Exquisitely penned piece, freebirds!

[Sophy Freebirds]

Temptation of the soul is a tricky concept. Sometimes you can't help but step into the fire. If there is anything in our bodies that has the most scars, it is our souls. NIce work as usual, girlie :)

Thank you so much Sammie :)
