Bliss

noun; a state of spiritual blessedness, typically that reached after death.

Some semblance of spring,

Burst through, 

Purple and pink,

Dust the ground, 

Replacing and thawing the ice frozen sound,

That lay there, 

For years and years.

Hope is springing again,

And I am standing alone,

Yet again. 

Not in a maudlin way,

Like a firefly caught in a breeze, 

But in a stoic way,

Like a willow tree who never bends its leaves.

And the sun gives me energy, 

To unmask parts of myself,

The world has never seen,

And with that, 

I can finally find, 

Something serene.

Melting into the lilac filled revelry,

Drinking the ambrosia laid out before me, 

Escaping on the backs on sunbeams,

While ice slowly melts in my chest, 

God, it feels good to breath again.

Lovely poetry. The syntax of your words had quite an effect on this reader. This is my first reading of you, and in going through some of your work, I found something most interesting to note. Most, if not all, of your titles are one worded, and are offered with a definition of that word. Pretty cool idea! Remember, spring is eternal, like our souls. Very nice to meet you!

Thank you so much for your review! I'm so glad you enjoyed this piece as well as some of my others. I'm also so happy you noticed the way I titled my poems. For each poem (minus one that is a date) I tried to pick a word that I felt summarize the feeling of the poem. I also did so with the picture that is uploaded with the poem. I'm glad others enjoy this idea as well. Thank you so much again!
