I lift my lids and all is born again.

-Sylvia Plath


In the silence between raindrops
I can let my mind wander.
It dreams of ultraviolet love
Waiting to escape the clouds
And skewer me in my openness.

I love the imagery, the simplicity. As soon as I read the first line, my mind shut off everything i was thinking in order to grasp the subtle beauty of your poem.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
- Maya Angelou
When i was little/I used to point a chubby finger toward the dark sky/And ask my father/why some stars moved and others didn’t/He would laugh and explain that some were airplanes/I still wish on them today ~ Laugh-It-Out
The feathers of a crow are black/The ink of my pen is blacker/The pain of my heart is blackest~ Mckay
If love produced a blossom/I’d take it in my palm/What a blessing, the bright color!/How soothing, such a balm!/I’d keep a petal for my own/The rest, drop from my hands/For such a flower would multiply/And populate the lands~ thesilentraven
And I began to rival legends/Long entombed before my birth./But for all my much envied fame/The lust for more would not abate./The plaques and prizes with my name/Will, like all things, disintegrate. ~ TheEpic95 now known as Helena_Noel

Well, I guess I didn't get it from your point of view but I suppose that's what poetry is, huh ...different interpretations to different people......It is still beautiful though with the new light shed..

Thank you. I wrote it about the confusing feelings I was having at the begining of a relationship and how they just kinda canceled each other out until I was left with the promise of being able to let someone in and the fear of letting someone hurt me.

Short and sweet, just how I like it (: Good words, reminds me of the randomness that I like to write about. Ultraviolet is a cool word

WOW, I love this! I don't really have anything to sugest I like it as it is. I wouldn't touch it!
