Blinding Amber

by Faithless   Jul 25, 2010


Amber ring,
encompassed my pupil,
hopelessly blinded;
hypnotized to gaze
at the scorching sun.

My subconscious mind,
detached me from the physical world,
where my insatiable quest for love
knows no boundaries;
crossing borders, sea of poison.

In search of a distant memory,
where our dreams once stood.
Reclaiming the passion
through small gulps of air.

Overturning pale yellow grass,
with daisies and wild roses.
Multi-colored rainbow
may once again appear
over this luscious meadow.

Drought will be filled
with pristine green ocean,
where luminous coral reef
will bloom from underneath.

Empty spaces painted with vivid life;
stroking euphoria in each darken spot,
where beauty is defined
yet visible only to the blind.

Waves of ecstasy,
keep me awake in this hallucination.
Altering my mind to sleep
(not now, not never)

But when the sun sets,
my soul transcends me back to reality,
where my eyes are wrapped in fire;
screaming to be extinguished.

...

Knowing that it's worth the pain,
just to think of you.

    Love poems may be the hardest for one to write and be believable, they are over done and mostly cliche'

    I really like how you can take your emotions and put them into something beautiful and raw like that.

    You have certainly used your imagination to make this a love poem that stands apart from the norm.

    Amber ring,
    encompassed my pupil,
    hopelessly blinded;
    hypnotized to gaze
    at the scorching sun

    Your opening was so powerful and, as the subject in the verse was hypnotised, so to was I.

    Overturning pale yellow grass,
    with daisies and wild roses.
    Multi-colored rainbow
    may once again appear
    over this luscious meadow

    To dream of something that is gone but we feverantly wish we could still grasp is a horrible nightmare we have all lived through at some time in our lives.

    But when the sun sets,
    my soul transcends me back to reality,
    where my eyes are wrapped in fire;
    screaming to be extinguished.

    Great ending and, I actually felt a jolt as reality returned.

    This was a fantastic read, one I thoroughly enjoyed.

    Oh my, i am in love with your words. What i always love about your poems, is that they always captures my heart and attention. Beauty is indeed invisible to the blind. That's why, when we are truly in love, no matter how far that person is, His/her face engrave in our heart forever and even with eyes firmly closed we can reach out to such a beauty. I really love your writing style from the beginning. very well done as usual, kel.
