Ode

Rise up towards the dawning red,
never a hostage to that stolid fiend,
the moor of despairs -

Your flames burn those fermenting
shadows, where an indolent spawn
was birthed from tears of seasonal
limbo.

Walk tall through wintry haars and in
the dead of the night, cast your wrath
around and avail yourself a new Kingdom!

Love this. it speaks of inner strengths and determinations, of the eternal fight against the downward spiral of evolution where humanity becomes ever more unfeeling, cruel and heartless.
So long as there are folks left who face life with such a defiance, then there's some hope for the future.

Much obliged, my dear friends, and thank you for your kind and generous compliments. I used a few notes I found scattered around, recombined and changed parts and lo, a new poem was created.

White Blossom

Image
White blossom seated in a wreath of gnarled fingers; a prim lodestone harangued by the glaring moans which in haunting waves run off from parched thirsty mouths. Their predatory desire brewed from acrid pain skews her lofty aspirations and turns her ringing laughter to an idol of shame. To wistful humility devoted, she withers and bloats til all her unshed sweet tears are collected in a cuirass glossed with the colours of her hawkish suitors: burning ardour and the scorn of the immature.
