Awake

Awake

A Poem by Ryan Yates

Bodies entwine a frozen silence in chaos,

one split second of pure beauty in focus, jewels glisten, 

soft gentle, fingers down my back explode, but this cannot last, the broken glass of morning comes crashing over the hills, raging forward with every second, blinding light drags us, tears us back to life, but hang on, cling to me, just one moment longer, for everything changes today,

Blinding flashes rip through the sky like a swift blade, the blood of cold hearted clouds flows in great glory for all to see, across the roof tops, past the street lights, filling gutters, flooding drains, a stream of tears runs down this cracked window Paine, with thunderous rage this day began for my love disappeared today

Ryan, The imagery employed in this piece fairly LEAPS off of the page; a love that has come and gone is read a requiem to put it to a solitary sleep. Very nicely done!

I cannot express my feelings but....it's WOW!!! You wrote out true words to capture imagination in the poem. I see the theme of sex but it was written properly to teach you the whole meaning of the poem. Poets these days have used their time to convey feelings across the globe. Nevertheless, wow!!!

We all love poems because we learn to love poetry and fiction as TWO things that shape our culture and lives. You did a good job as a poet! Congrats!!!

WONDERFUL imagery! I especially like the change from a moment of clinging (sort of still, hanging) to one where flashes "rip through the sky like a swift blade." Awesome

ryan,

The thunder and lightning are only the pendency of nature. But when we try to make them appear in light we fail.Disaapeared love is hiding somewhere which only a writer can find out ...you are so powered...

carry on.
