Deep Brown

Clara

Deep brown you look at me 

It's risky, I know

The warning signs are there

I'm blind in my despair

I dive straight in

To the depth of your unknown

I slide straight through the charm

Am I welcome? It's unknown

I flutter my feet and stretch my neck

I fight to stay adrift

The depth is reaching

The fear, it's new

The warning bells keep ringing

The no entry signs stand true

I have maybe a minute no more

I am fair game to your abyss

Yet out of the darkness, an outstretched hand

Clasps around my own

I am warm I am safe

The deep brown is a face

Through the darkness

Slowly the secrets reveal

The trauma, the history

The joy, the passion

The person it beholds

Depth I've not known

Such beauty in its truth

I am captured, I am claimed

My feet no longer flutter

For my heart has taken their place

Deep brown eyes

You lay your gaze upon me

Your depth is your doorway

The entry to your treasure

For your eyes they have captured me

and I've drowned within your soul.

      A fine write Clara. Pity it started me singing (always a horror. lol). 'Ohh, reach out, and I'll be there....'
      I dunno if it's even a proper song. I'll go back to sleep! heehee.

        I find that when I read back over my poems, there is always a sing song vibe to them so I totally understand haha! Thank you for commenting.

                it would be interesting to know your preferred genre of music, as it has left its print in the rhythm of your words, there's a particular flow to them I find myself almost rapping at times!

                Loved the use of words, very expressive! keep it up!

                • Clara

                  Hi G84,

                  Honestly, I have quite a wide taste in music, ranging from classical to indie to soft rock. I try to add a little rhythm to my words as I favourite poems that flow easily and seem almost sing song! I'm pleased you picked up on it. Thank you as always for your kind words.
