Shall and Because

Fay Slimm.

 

 

Shall and Because.


Because each granite-necked minute strangles
past bliss shall grief's set vessel so anchored
reach love's fair coastline no more ?

Shall a tear-drenched spark within dark's loss
not fire venturesome's calling ?

 

Because a pearl's open glint becomes staved
on grave's barrier-reef shall learning re-train         
or stay blind to mere chances ?

Shall a caged heart's talons gnawing at need
not seek to call for balance ?

 

Because cinders get cold when unbellowed
shall a fresh spark not hold similar knowing
when and how to light contact  ?


Shall stalled life not take offered moreness
             and share another romance ?

        'Because each granite-necked, minute
        strangles past bliss
        shall grief's set vessel, so anchored
        reach, love's fair coastline no more ?

        Shall a tear-drenched spark
        within dark's loss
        not fire venturesome's calling ?'
        (I just wanted to unravel and point out
        that magic flow, you hide - knowingly
        so we lesser scribblers, can get a glimpse
        of your Poetry's
        unquestionable brilliance, dear Fay)
        A great write!

        • Fay Slimm.

            You have the mastery of using the features of a revered creature and poetize it to reflect the emotions of another.

            • Fay Slimm.

              Many memorable phrases to enjoy =>
              "Because cinders get cold when unbellowed." There's a lot there!

              • Fay Slimm.

                Am delighted you liked the phrasing of my take on finding love again after grief.

              • Goldfinch60

                Good words Fay.

                “If your dreams do not frighten you they are not big enough”.

                • Fay Slimm.

                  Yes dreaming is essential for keeping our heads above troubled water my friend. Glad you enjoyed my words about love.
