The Wordsmith

We entrusted sorrows awakening spirits
breathing rhythm beyond any verse, etched
in mortal world to the gleam of diamonds
glittering to Prometheus' heaven

Patchwork of hearts glowed with miracles
brushed with grace and tender strokes
unfurling tapestry dappled with splinters
beneath maelstroms of tears and laughter

Bind with trust, reflecting northern lights
golden memories merged celebrating life
cradling pains from solitary depths of
iridescent pearls, offerings of salts

From seven fulsome seas, brimming
with hope and feathery wrought
in the light of thousand silvery moons
poetry burned, inhaling truth untold

* For Vee, since she was the last to post a poem*

A Woman to Admire

I've not read all your words
Yet those I have lure me to a world I've not fully explored
Poets of old linger in the air
When out of my mouth your words unfold

You say your underneath
But that I cannot believe
A woman emanating such strength
Is a success in whatever she chooses to achieve

The picture you paint in your profile
Is one that inspires
To be who we are, not what's expected of us
Lena-underneath, a sister, a woman to admire


For Lena, the poet above...

Yes it was hard to pick, and it seems someone got mad at me and blocked me as well, however i did put some rules that were not respected, reason for the pick, so don't feel mad because your poem was good like the most but did not win. Regards.
