#TBT – Swept Away in Golden Splendor – #poetry

Such disturbance, I have never felt
Penetrating, my inner thoughts
Festering, this wound, bleeding
Revealing, my self-doubt
Seizing, the moment
Until at last
Defeated
I am
Raw

Colleen’s challenge for us this week are the words Mystery and Attract. Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!

Written as a Cinquain, my synonyms are Confidence and Alluring.

The look

Is alluring

While catching you off guard

Tis the confidence he exudes

That chills

To take flight, into the vast unknown

With only my wings, to keep me aloft

Through the sky, a haven, in which I roam

Unafraid of the journey, into the wind, I waft

To let my body feel, as my soul ascends

And my heart, to know it’s on course

So abstractly, against the clouds, I blend

As from this Earth, I leave, with no remorse

Colleen’s challenge for us this week are the words Begin and Fresh. Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!

Written as a Reverse Nonet, my synonyms are Create and Anew.

With
My words
I create
Feelings anew
Parts of my own soul
Entirely exposed
To unknown human beings
Who somehow find my poetry
Mirrored images of their own lives
