Where Darkness Dares Not Speak

I sit among the winds of human souls
where darkness dares not speak
of storms that rock deep anguish
until it becomes
a fire inside you.  
These winds are more complete
when they rest upon my tongue
and get lost inside a dance
crying “let me go”
without use
of a cold attitude.

No fear do I have
of the years gone by,
I barely knew
of their passing.  
It seems as if their value
has been exiled to a corner,
left there
to dream.
So I can sit among the winds
without a single care
crashing in and demanding
I have remorse
for holding back
the years
self-esteem.

Where there is sinister intent
and darkness clouds the sky,
there are moments
when the secrets of the wind
chase the substance
known as peace.
I feel the heat against my body
as I sit among the winds
accepting kisses
on my lips
from years gone by,
exiled............
begging for release.

I think we all at some point feel this volcanic feeling inside as if the world itself is trying to rip our limbs from our bodies. Within our own minds we are capable of finding peace of we simple take a moment. I like the strong details and the use of nature to represent the different emotions of this piece. It makes it strong and solid.

Drenched in the inspiration your words bring, I gasp for breath as I can utter not a single thing.

I truly enjoy your style, there is a certain smooth texture about it, though it tends to hit very hard.

Thank you for sharing this with us.

Sometimes I wonder if you leave us to guess the meaning behind your works, Neva. I can only wonder what goes through your mind as you pen these works of yours. I detect some bittersweet pain within this. I can also sense love and wistfulness of the past. I wonder if I am right.

[Neva Flores Smith - Changefulstorm]

Thank you. Yes, I do leave it to the reader to interpret because I believe that poetry is personal. You happen to be spot on in what you sense. I appreciate the read and am glad to see you back.

I don't know why I keep reading this poem, other then it's beautiful, and there are so many wonderful ideas in it. I have always thought God used the darkness, any darkness weather in us or that angel called darkness. I think most of us see those weaknesses in ourselves, the ones that hurt us. There's so much pain in us at times that all we can do is find something, anything to ease the pain until it goes away enough to where we can resume our lives. wonderful and beautiful poem ....... thank you so much Miss Neva for sharing this amazing poem.
