Slumbers No More

This pulsing heart slumbers no more.

The vacant tomb is now closed.

Once again fully exposed

 

Light casting a special glow

Revived a cold sluggish heart

Emotion now playing their part

 

Shadows have been cast aside

Charred by an intense fire

Called free flowing desire

 

Imprisonment is now gone

The  black chains of despair broken

Feelings of wonder now spoken

 

The cage has been destroyed

Excitement peacefully flows free

Completely encompassing me

I think this poem has many meanings and reasons behind the words. This one came from the heart for sure. I don't see this as dark instead I see it as the opposite of that. It is like light is finally shinning down upon you and you are beginning to live again with joy and passion. The poem is very symbolic almost a cleansing. I think it is a great write for the feel of it and for the meaning behind it. Excellent.

Heartpartfiredesire...A pretty straightforward poem. Despite what the others may claim, I'm not getting the feeling there are layers or hidden meaning(s). It is what it is. Overall, it's an average piece, and I've read better by you. If I were to change thing, I would eliminate the obvious rhyming pairs such as heart...part and fire...desire.

Seems like a poem of freedom.. or redemption maybe both.
Very lovely and full of wonderful metaphors.

The poem had a dark feel to me.
"'Shadows have been cast aside
Charred by an intense fire
Called free flowing desire"
The ending felt like a freedom of a sort. A excellent poem. You made me think tonight.

"Shadows have been cast aside
