Restraint and release

Restraint and release

A Poem by Michelle N. H.



There is a road off the path

Roofed beneath moss and forest soil

Grass that is damp and untrodden

Bark of tall whispering in their sways

Cryptic voices in the haven of crowns

Within the sphere of my own seclusion

I long to know the depths of a heart

To tread its center with bare feet

Naked, shameless and bold

Not fearing what lies ahead

Daring to dare, I take a step

My internal escapade

Heavy sigh... there is so much beauty hidden between two worlds, and love it seems ... You expressed the intention of the heart, and the heart of him. Hidden among creeks, and moss green, soft and present, always there ... the step to turn or cross draws closer, fear fades, and love blooms, with sunbeams among green leaves ... it's so close, so close .... it has been always there, to protect, to observe, to feel the beauty of her, who shall embrace his core.

Beautifully written, full of emotion, warmth, luck and patience ... Brilliant ... :)

You should never fear what lies ahead, but better, never fear what it is you have now.

Zilla has said it all that needs to be said. As Eve craves for that forbidden fruit in the garden of Eden so as our heart's longing for something more ...somethings that has no string attach... no consequences....just love and more.

Or perhaps the author is delving and exploring the boundaries of CHOICE .

You speak with stabs, swift lines that poke at our insides. There is rarely a time when poetry makes more sense, when it speaks and tries to catch a glimpse of nature, combining both their voices to tackle something as ambiguous as love.

"Cryptic voices in the haven of crowns
Within the sphere of my own seclusion."

The internal journey is a vicious one, filling our minds with doubt.

You've sharpened this piece well enough that critique is not a sensible option.
Cheers !

There is a road, a way, of love, and nature to follow, it's like following the maths, of the stars, to be there where you need to be, your heart as your compass, your soul, shall bring you wisdom, you the one, that's strong and bright, will shine, when the day arrives.... lovely penning, so so beautiful, had me in tears....

You really draw with words, as if inside the imagination of the reader...So beautiful escape and honest confession about yourself. It has little sadness and gloom inside. But also it`s full of hope. Yes, if we want to achieve our love, we need to go to the end, to experience the pain within us. Great poem. My favorite:

Thanks a bunch, Kale :)
I really like this a lot… there is life beyond what we can see and there is so much more beneath the surface of you, me and the entire human race.

You are welcome.
So much is said here. To compare ones soul to this untouched, wooden wonderland is immensely beautiful. Again I am swept away. With your fearlessness and your art. Brilliant work.
