Set light upon the new day, let the beauty flutter about

Watch as the mystery glows, be still, fairies never tout

Disguised as tiny butterflies, see their essence shimmer

They are one with nature, making our world glimmer

Rise up to their calling, as they sweetly soothe your soul

Set light upon the new day, let the magic take control

No One ~ #poetry #depression #freeverse

Wasted
The hours in a day
Doing nothing
Wallowing
In empty air
And blank spaces
The mind
Reeling
In no specific direction
Slamming
Into a brick wall
But no damage
Except to the soul
Damaged
Torn apart
Ripped
From its very essence
Mangled, as if
It had been ravaged
By a predator
But that predator
Only lives within me
The walls
I have built myself
Keep me
Safely guarded, away
From the vicious
And yet
I want to explode
To let it out
Still
No one will hear
No one will care
No one
Even notices
How lost
Inside myself
I am
No one

It’s the month of LOVE, and Colleen hasn’t let us down with her challenge!  This week, her words are Meaning and Passion. Remember, synonyms only!!

Written as a Etheree, my synonyms are Essence and Frenzy.


Our
Essence
Symbolic
Of love’s true heart
A beating rhythm
Racing to a frenzy
Until the excitement ebbs
Leaving us spent in a sweet bliss
And the moment lingers quietly
As we lie safely in each other’s arms

Colleen was kind enough to give us the words for this weeks challenge, even though she started her Yule break!  Thank you, Colleen ❤  The words this week are Try and Life.  Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!

Written as a Nonet, my synonyms are Essence and Endeavor.


My essence is truly energy
An endeavor repeatedly
Fought for, an attempt to shine
In the darkest of times
Through my poetry
When only thoughts
Of the night
Consume
Me

The scent of lavender entices

Causing them to swarm to her

She is blissfully intoxicating

As they imbibe on her essence

Drinking in life’s pure nectar
