COME ALIVE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Life runs crimson through seeping scars

A shattered soul ripped by raven lies

Bitter tasting prison with cerulean bars

Screams splinter peaceful night skies…

 

Come alive, come alive and taste the rain

Leave behind your bitterness and pain…

 

Oh you will know the nightmare is over

And your auburn dream has come alive

When you taste the ginger on my fingers

And you look into my sapphire eyes…

 

You’ve come alive, come alive to taste the rain

Left behind your bitterness and pain...

 

 

Author's Note

Life breathes over us in seasons... May you find spring smiling on you this day...

Let it rain let i rain let it rain... rain can be a great soul soother. Being a lover of rain I really enjoyed this poem.

[Lydia Blackwell]

ooh- this is deliciously sensual and sharp with emotion. I like the bold words that you chose and i like the message. I wish that the rain would wash away all my bitterness and pain. God knows we have enough of it, lately... (rain)

An anthem to rebirth n' renewal n' rejuvenation! A perfect tonic for my soul!! ㋡

[Christie Moses]

there is something very cleansing about rain itself. Such a lovely piece this is. It leaves the reader feeling refreshed and hopeful.
I love how lyrical it is, with the refrain, as well.
Very beautiful writing.

People walk in the streets when it's raining, for serenity and sanity. People get soaked under the raindrops. But tasting it is a whole new story and experience. I bet it feels just as good as it sounds, and I bet it tastes even better. Fresher. Gazing into a calm, loving person's eyes is also a window to a whole new world. Wonderful consolation, encouragement, and tenderness in this poem. You never fail to make new emotions come live within me.

This would make a wonderful song, maybe it's the repeated alternate two lines with the one change of word .. maybe because of its near haunting meter. Here again you use colour and a hint of hair colour at that, intentional probably .. perhaps .. who knows. ' Oh you will know the nightmare is over ~ And your auburn dream has come alive ~ When you taste the ginger on my fingers ~ And you look into my sapphire eyes '…there's something very alluring, sensuous, in those four lines, subtle, but distinct.

An excellent poem. Small and simple to understand with a good feeling at the end. Enjoyed

My Goodness Craig this is so amazing I so love the first stanza, I can feel the dark undertones and sadness reign through this as well as sheer beauty. Love this one my fave from you...So very well nicely done!!!
