More Than I Can Say

More Than I Can Say

A Poem by Neva Flores Smith - Changefulstorm
"

Under my feet, I stepped on syllables............

"


























I went looking for something different,
maybe embedded in the rooms
of other worlds.
Possibly feelings
contained in oceans,
drunk
from singing
romantic melodies.  

I found skies running backward
and started asking myself
too many questions
about just how
I should be.
Then across my face
ran my inner child
and solved the mystery.

Under my feet, I stepped on syllables
I had charmed
into becoming a song
of the morning.
Just to watch them staring back
into the sea of my soul
on pages requiring nothing
from me.

I went looking for something different,
entranced
in complete curiosity.
What I found was a flower
unwinding each petal
into the light
of day.

Embedded in the rooms of other worlds
there are winds
that imprint pleasure in shades
that cry out to the ego
in sudden breaths
and feelings
contained in oceans
burning brighter
than anything I have
ever said.

I went looking for something different. This is a great poem about stopping to notice the little things that are unique and beautiful around us. Sometimes love comes in a different package than what you are normally drawn to and that can make all the difference in the world.

More Than I Can Say,is a beautiful poem . There is a story of an orphan boy who was adopted by a loving family. Like all children who've been adopted he went in search of his birth parents. His adoptive mom and dad went with him and during the trip to find his birth parents he found the only parents he'd ever known or needed walking by his side

Seems the smallest things are the biggest and most beautiful
Loved this poem as well as the art work.
Wonderfully written

I don't know how to describe this, but I feel like I'm on a hill looking down on the depravity below. That is what I feel here.

This to me was truly psychedelic in many ways.
Superb diction and imagery in every stanza,
in other words spectacular writing!

this is likely to be a maelstrom of different emotions in one single poem...and i like the way you wrote how the inner child in you responded to you as the answer... or you were searching for a path through your childhood memories...
an awesome poem and i like the way the pic just fit into this poem!

I love the carefree feeling your poem left me with. What a delightful journey you took us on. Lovely images and a whirlwind of feelings and emotions too. Lovely poem.

I loved the accompanying artwork with this....just perfect. As in the poem, there are so many images, so many different possibilities, it's all in how the reader/viewer looks at things.
