Liquefy the night

by Jenni   Aug 20, 2011


The alluring ambiance
of afterglow is peeking
onto the breezy meadow,
mesmerized by a nymphs
delicately chiseled features
that veil frenetic insecurities.

An awkward obscurity
lingering on her velvet body,
enfolding her like a deceptive
second skin, intoxicating
her cracked soul, trying to
merge with it and it reveals a
sincere mourning that
causes her to writhe.

The purity that purfled
her heart exists no longer.
Darkness caressing her
carefully but her cherubic
voice speaks: "Let me go"

A last whimper,
the atmosphere is now
hazy, the night liquefies
and becomes one with
what used to be shattered.
All that's left is a
familiar breeze.

    I enjoyed reading this poem. The wording was great and got your message a point. It is a nice length and a good read.

    "her cracked soul, trying to
    merge with it and it reveals a
    sincere mourning that
    causes her to writhe."

    maybe try

    "her cracked soul,
    trying to merge with it
    as it reveals a sincere mourning
    that causes her to writhe"

    5/5
