Scarlet wrists...

Scarlet wrists...

A Poem by An owl on the moon
"

For a friend who was cut...

"

 

 

Scarlet wrists and azure eyes

Bleeding lips tell bloody lies

My words to seal your painful scars

Your eyes to gaze at golden stars

Within the passages of night

Your heart will be like candlelight

And true to life will be your soul

To sever chains and make you whole

In darkest water did you sleep

And crystal tears in shadows weep

Your life was chained to stone and steel

Now take my hand and you will heal

Your onyx hair stroked crimson bold

Your soul more beautiful than gold

More lasting than a sunset sky

More fragile than a butterfly

Your precious heart grows stronger still

And in the end will move your will

To rise above the losting world

Of castles built with jewels and pearls

And on that day shall you go forth

So strong in spirit to the north...

I take from this that no matter what happens to us or what we do to ourselves, there is a place inside of us that can rise stronger and those scars are a reminder of our battle wounds. We are warriors in Spirit, fighting against all that weighs us down and shackles us.

'Scarlet Wrists'
An owl on the moon,
I have been affected by some around me which this poem reminded me of. I think you got it right. Damage of heart, soul, mind will play out 'somewhere.' They do not know they are precious and fine like they are. The beauty of the thread of hope in this piece was just the ticket. Good one!
Blessings,
Kathy

Craig, this is so beautiful. All the sadness in this poem is stripped away be the kindness you show. When your friend isn't/wasn't strong you were there to be strong until he/she was ready to be. Absolutely lovely and he/she is lucky to have you :)

I love the Hope and sure knowledge that two human spirits are more powerful than just one.

Craig, i don't know how you do this!

Within the passages of night

Your heart will be like candlelight

that is my fav line. There is so much hope here. It is such a nice piece. You set the standard, Craig... really!

It's my dream to be one day able to write like that...this is astonishing, wonderful, and very heartfelt. Just like all of your Poems, you are a wonderful poet, and I think you shall only get better with age :)

ow wow ! "Bleeding lips tell bloody lies". adore it
I'm really open-mouthed and speechless. I'm not able to pick the right words to put here. emotional, powerful, full of profound meanings, fabulous, magnificent, breathtaking. and I swear you I'm in love with every line cause every line has it own charm.
excellent :)
