For such energy that birthed the night
Moved aside the meaningless tremor
Soughed the withering branches keenly
And kissed the earth until it was bright
I know the scorn of the rampant tide
The effervescent embrace of glistening ice
Ubiquitous aridity born from the sand
Fervid pyres erupting through smite
I see through the eyes of a dreamer
Meandering through truth and destiny
Searing through each endless wonder
Of all it ever was and all it could be

you killed it in last 4 lines. Especially the last one.
Of all it ever was and all it could be.
Beautiful.
Thank you! I love that line too. One of my favorites.
Some of my favorite poems are the ones that aim for simplicity while at the same time evoking an emotion.
In the forest, roasting marshmallows, Leo’s imagination burns as he gathers ideas like firewood
Like a metaphysical tequila shot a small amount that packs a punch .
But I also think the last 4 lines were the best!
Looking forward to what you come up with next.
Beautifully versed a tribute to the essence of a dreamer.
Lovely!
Beautiful man.
Leo can I post a poem? I just started WordPress and I’m look for some exposure
Sure,
Dark place
I’ve been to this place before, it’s a dark place where I’m being tortured by my thoughts. A place of loneliness, disparity and anxiety.
I’m at my worst not my best. It is now I’m being put to the test. I’m sorry I haven’t been my best, but I feel alone on this quest . This quest to make it out of here, this quest to battle all my fears.
Where’s my escape I need a place to hide. I wanna rely on the one that never leaves my side. But these foolish thoughts arouse in my head it’s better off if I’ve been dead.
But then I would’ve died without being saved. This dark place would be where I made my grave. I want out and I know someday I’ll make it out of here. Will I rely on the one who conquers all fears? I’m still here but halfway through. Things are getting though but I’ll try to be true.
What do you think?
Unbelievably beautiful, I feel transported!
Thank you so much 🙂
Beautiful and mellow, loved it x
<3 thank you
I love how you mention “meandering” here, the idea of it has really been on my mind lately and I mentioned it in one of my recent posts when I say, I’m that I’m done meandering through murky waters.
Maybe that’s what meandering is for me too, moving through truth and destiny. But for me, also fear.
This just hit me somewhere really deep, thank you as I read this again.
