Rocky, this is beyond words. So intimate and one of self discovery. \"My whole life I expected others to be the anchor,\" And comforting images of your mother with the sea of yellow. I just don\'t have the words, honestly, to review this art piece.----Christina

Loose thyself in your motherโ€™s arm
There she holds me to protect
But one day i must step out
Step out from the veil of her shadow
Cause the sky awaits my flight

I could feel the strong bond between mother and child
The evolution of a child into adulthood
And the independence and responsibility one needs to shoulder upon
A beautiful imagery portraying the most loveable relationship
Very well inked dear Rocky

Dear Rocky, I\'m sighing as I read, for the beauty of your words. I think I\'m glimpsing the child, dependent on the all comforting, all loving mother, \"the sea of yellow unfolding all the mysteries of the world\" and yet the child, at some point must become the all encompassing self. The mother always being a piece of that self. A true gem of a poem.

Your title was perfect and made me click then so many smiles ready a flow so slick. Appalling or a calling still sits so well and rest I\'d gladly drift under your spell.

I really hope this vent helped

Isn\'t it stupid.....I fell for an entire forest just because I love the leaf?
You very well joint the dent(disappointment) of the precious idea(love) with an echo of notes(roll). The grim reality we tend to omit often. Intriguing as always.:)

Poetry is something many do for various reasons. I do it to express thing I cant express on paper or in words. Poetry is something I do to escape. Rocky you have so much to give, so much inspiration, so much pain, so much love. We dont always write for others, some of we write for oursleves.

theneophiles_words said:

\'Swirling ripples with the notion of tranquility, make a wish to the light left on\' These lines just struck my mind while reading your piece. I admire you for the resilience and the perception that you possess. The bond and the chord play a very passionate role in everyone\'s life. This one has my heart from now on, and yes, she is undeniably proud to see how much you have grown to be.๐Ÿ˜Š

A lovely write dear Rocky, the nature of love. There is always
vulnerability when you allow someone into your life. I think love is probably the most powerful, complicated and, difficult emotion we can experience. But after 52 years, I wouldn\'t have it any other way. Turns out, it\'s what you make it.

I enjoyed the alliteration you used throughout the poem with the roll of the \"L\' continually :)
It made me think of how we keep rolling through life looking for love and sensing the disappointment.
Good job.

Love, itself, is a fallacy, otherwise I\'d be off with a princess. Life on the other hand, unless destined, can be achieved, through hard work, maybe a little luck on the way. Mind you, health always tops the lot in the living game.,

An interesting poem .. good way with words .. I think there is a lot of disappointment in life , not just love .. things can just let us down I guess and really affect us emotionally

Love it ! Super important questions for which one has to find any meaningful answers for themselves.

All a bit of a careless mysyery to the young but the middle aged begin to \"see through a glass darkly\" and from there on in.. good luck lol.

By the time old age creeps across your bones all this will be sussed by you. How do I know... because you\'re one of those who perceives the questions... so many don\'t give them a thought.

Well first off, I love the name, Hello, I adore lilacs, prefaced by my picture. I initially thought the \"Lick\" was from maybe a bee on the lilac but I think I\'m wrong. You have officially blown my mind on how good your poetry is though. \"Love, what is it for\"....you\'ll find out someday.\" Life--a living lens cracked.\" I know when I was young (er) (ha ha) in my family home I felt this way because all we did was fight and cry. But the light you spoke of will shine!! And it won\'t be a lie. Hang in there! (I\'m sorry I haven\'t done this justice but my heart was in it!)

The beginning of life, and life itself.
Yet, the most important part, the sperm and egg. That bond that brings two ancestors into the now and the future.

Bella Shepard said:

I think that I would love to stand in the open, on a beautiful, full moonlit night, and read this poem aloud. It is tender, and loving, just as I\'m sure your relationship with your mother was. When we speak to the moon, she listens. Beautifully written!

A wonderful write. Isis is one of my favorite Goddess symbols as she takes on the moon. It is responsible for the tides and its cycle is related to the female menstrual cycle. Birth and renewal a wonderful poem of union. Well written.

Rocky, as a mother, I gotta say I love this!! You were conceived out of the \"clean nothingness\". I love how you describe her womb (reminds me of a poem i wrote with the loss of twins), the umbilical cord connecting you two. I mean I could sit here and quote from your poem all day! There\'s nothing quite like a bond between mother and child. Oh your mother is in the stars, that gave me the chills. I know that she passed. WOW!! This one goes into the faves at the top if I can manage. wow, your eventual homecoming, hopefully not too soon, Rocky! Loved it, loved it, love it!!!!!!!!!!

I\'m a bit lost i must admit. The first half gave me thoughts of being conceived and born.
It\'s certainly original writing and i have read it several times... was your mum an astronaut... erm

I\'ve enjoyed trying to fathom this out anyway my friend.

theneophiles_words said:

A metaphoric wonder of Richful thought; Vivid images entwined through the thread of hope. Definitely, something that speaks about your style. These lines \'But actually a bloody red. Its wings were covered with the scarlet color. But the Swan stayed fixed on its main purpose\' explains so much more than it states. Well, let\'s say that you had me with you and the Swan to the Horizon.

Rocky, Rocky
(from above where there is no link to place this in its appropriate position):
\"a certain someone who sent me a comment on a non-free-verse poem that went on to pretty much say, \"stay in my lane\" (free-verse.) So I kinda laughed inside of myself when I read that and said, \"wow is my non-free-verse poetry really that bad?\"
So from that \'\"certain someone,\" may I just clarify?
Not that your non free verse is bad - My argument was that if you are going to claim a classic form then you should make the effort to honour that form.
It\'s more about communication. We communicate with words , and if we are to succeed we must agree on the basic meaning of these tools we use. Thus a Shakespearean sonnet should be? You know what it should be. Do it or explain why not.
No third person comments in future - put that argument where it belongs next time.

I loved the thought of giving Death a voice. Looks austere yet so full of attributes. I admire how well you play with the words, Rocky \'crescendos rise so will I\'; \'to the long cadenza\'; \'This skyscraper is on liftoff\'; \'beyond the moon, cityscape, stars\'; \'Hair, clothes, paintings, furniture\' and so much more; At a certain point, I felt I would be rewriting the whole in comments ( jokes apart). It is beautiful as always, and Thank you for making Death pleasant to the eye.
