I am
blue-white
brazen and hopeful
with wrinkled
fate,
I stop time
and drown the moon
dust I am
remote
enlightened
musical
my eyes are wet
my sword is drawn
I turn to you
with purple dirt upon my face
I am the swan
of fairy tales
my neck is soft….
feathers
and
blood
the stone beneath me speaks in volumes
is it OK to ask questions and comment on this poem ?

I loved the visuals it created, but I wondered what the purple dirt symbolized ?

lets see….purple dirt… the first thing that comes to me is the purple satin sash that hung over the priests shoulders when i was a child… maybe its a kind of religious detritus…. the other thing that comes is a wipe from an angels paintbrush so it could be a blessing…. i smile because obviously I believe my poetry has some type of important symbolism but I don’t necessarily know what it is! x Thanks for asking I like the quest it leads me on 🙂

that is lovely imagery, thanks for sharing it. With my background, I wouldn’t have seen that, but it is powerful.

I agree, and of all the means of communication, poetry seems to me to carry so much meaning and depth. To me metaphor is what makes us human.
