(*****) Ashen Grey Horizon Poem by Alice Cuenca

(*****) Ashen Grey Horizon

Rating: 4.9


In a cloistered-life,
devouring every drop
of uttered word,
in any moment will dry up
but tears will never be.

Ephemeral cloud,
an almost tangible wraith-
my love is unfettered by truth,
it can only bloom in freedom
A cord to touch, not to bind-
to ruin a domain built with blood.

The author spawns birds to fly,
fish for oceans; mindless
jellyfish obeying instincts.
But man is rooted on earth
who seeks the clouds...

Watching you, in every waking moment,
staring the ashen grey horizon.
The sunbeam's reflection on ice
are your eyes, a warm blanket.
And I have endured...

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Very interesting, and unique way of expressing emotions in a form of unfinished thoughts that you link in a chain of images with such skill...

here...with only three seasons, hot, hotter and hottest....im just so unfortunate not to write the description of snowflakes melting in the sun...and those gleaming ice capped mountains...but perhaps..i can describe the moon, landing on the ashen mountain top... waiting for the morning sun to kiss her goodbye....hehehehe keep it up Candis...
