Flower

by Nicko   Sep 8, 2010


My heart, not merely a tempestuous thing
Nor inarticulate of rhythm
More a flower awakening
Gentle, fresh and clean

Young, blemishless
Unfolding, it strengthens
Bursting in full blossom
Blazing for many moons

Till

Faltering at its zenith
Subsiding perceivably
Craggy brown edges appear
Surround its pulsing core

To wither, falter, die
Leaving behind a sprig of hope
Within the fallen seed
Full of promise

Tis there we lay our dreams

    Nicko...I am out of words..but let me say what I have about this masterpiece !

    More a flower awakening
    Gentle, fresh and clean
    >>>this stanza..being your first stanza is just admirable...my god very tender..the opening line..brought the subject on stage in a very professional way . The 3rd and 4rth line are extremely pure, lovely and poetic. Brought me such a very nice image..

    Young, blemish less
    Unfolding, it strengthens
    Bursting in full blossom
    Blazing for many moons

    Till>gave me a sad feeling..

    Faltering at its zenith
    Subsiding perceivably
    Craggy brown edges appear
    Surround its pulsing core

    Within the fallen seed
    Full of promise

    A very good write, although, I found a little emotion was almost lost in the harder vocabulary of your descriptions. Still, I liked this.

    I really enjoyed reading this, it was beautifully written and and beautifully imaged, i really cant think of many ways to make it better. both "Till" and the final line "Tis there that we lay our dreams" were EXTREMELY powerful lines, and you should be proud of this work as a whole. my only concern is that the message that beauty withers, and passes onto posterity is mildly cliche, but honestly art can esily be making new things out of old materials. all in all, well done, you've probably made my favorite authors list
