Morrows in the Sun
2 February 2016
You cast stones
Forgetting ripples
Your mind hard
Tired bones
Every hurt that you discard
Builds a waning castle
You can live
You can also die
In between
Nothingness
Even in shadows of Spain
Stories will be told
All we see
Dreamtime’s harmony
Oft disturbed
By dark thoughts
Night mares mere taunts in flashes
Of hooves beating sand
We will reign
The scars of the past
Into love
Forgiveness
She is deep like the marshes
Bordering mind’s land
We hold high
The hopes of our hearts
Yet we flaunt
Shields of tin
We forego the love for taunt
Smarting soul within
Crushed dreams
Give but few breadcrumbs
Trails gone cold
Eaten hearts
Oh the wincing how it smarts
When the heart grows old
I restore
The blackbird with blue
Fingers locked
Brush ablaze
Breathing out a love so true
Your face in a haze
All the lies
Now they’re washed away
Naked stand
With your love
Your blue heart battlefields’ death
Yet the surging bliss
Do you feel
The morrows have come
Creeping slow
Yellow glow
Collecting wild daffodils
Resonating thrills
You sink deep
Feathered rainbows splash
Across you
Coloured hue
Your body an artist’s dream
The gleam of moonbeam
They come fast
The morrows that last
You’re sinking
Heart blinking
Red SOS love’s inking
Splattered in your mind
Remember
Morrows in the Sun
When dark calls
And love weeps
Between our bodies it seeps
Glory to be whole
Reading of the poem:
Inside her – Evi Vine
Dreamily beautiful

Thank you so much. I am always filled with happiness when I hear that something I have contributed towards has actually brightened someone’s day. The feeling is enhanced when it is someone you’ve shared emotions with through commonly read poetry. Thanks again for your kind words Eric. My next one is more on the funny side in response to Ronovan writes’ haiku challenge

“Every hurt that you discard
Builds a waning castle” and “Heart blinking
Red SOS love’s inking” — I love those lines! What turns of phrase you employ. A lovely and haunting poem.

I am never too kind and you’re not bumbling around in the dark, you’re creating beautiful fairytales that many people enjoy immensely 🙂
I know I would love to comment but somehow I feel that if I commented on one of your episodes it might change your direction to some extent as we are influenced by what people say. It is not the same thing when they are separate poems but a story to be told in its entirety is different. I just leave bland comments when I feel overwhelmed and must say something but otherwise I avoid commenting

I had no idea you felt thus. Thank you for sharing your feelings and views on commenting. I’m never sure if no comments on a piece means it was well liked or not. Though since I like what I write, I’m not about to change it. I would still write Quest even if no one was reading it but me. 🙂 Until 5 months ago, no one was reading what I wrote so this is all still new and wondrous to me. 🙂 I am grateful for every eye, every like and every comment.

I don’t know about others but I love what you write and look forward to each new post and though I miss a few because of the new WP features that have mixed everything up so much and also my lack of time these days I always backtrack when I start reading and realise I must have missed a post in between. Your tale has to be told and you are right, it does not matter who is reading because initially we only write for ourselves although along the line we get involved with others and appreciate that they take the time out of their schedules to read and appreciate what we have put out there 🙂

You’re right and I do appreciate it. I’m just glad folks give my work a read when they can. I always have a page dedicated to the each ongoing story with links to the different parts to make it easier to read them in sequence. I hope that helps folks navigate.

Oh lovely, thanks for letting me know. I actually go from the reader so most of the time I don’t see the other links. From now on I will go to your website directly although I usually avoid doing that because it freezes my screen

oh I wonder why it freezes your screen. That’s not good. It’s never done that to my screen. I check it at work and at home.

It is not your poems Melinda. I am using a dinosaur as I can’t afford buying a new laptop and changing all my data from one place to the other. Whenever I have too many things open (and I always go on WP as a break from the things that I also do on laptop) the laptop freezes and sometimes even crashes 😀
