Hi Everyone,
I thought I would do a collaboration with you all… Or you can also use it as a prompt if you want for your own piece. If you wish to add to this piece please leave your part in the comment section. I will keep it open for three days and I will add whatever I get in the order I get them to the poem. If I don’t get anything this will be a stand alone but I hope some of you will give it a try 🙂
Update: I got some contributors yay! I will keep adding the contributions in different colours and list the name of each contributor ( in the same colour as their contribution)at the bottom of the piece. I am absolutely loving how this is going so far…will update as I get more up to the third day! 🙂 🙂 Thank you all!
Your naive heart,
flutter with the leaves,
waiting for rain,
by the window…
waiting for the gentle beat,
that sets your eager soul free,
to dance along,
by the window
By the window
watching gray clouds
coalesce with promise
rain to slake our thirst
The smell of dampness strong,
among the broken vessels
that lay weeping
sorrowfully against window’s pane
A rain long in its absence
Waits a few moments more
To tease the naivete out
And let longing take its place
By the window
Cracked glass,
but Incantation
Bonds the lens
Turns spidery veins
To condensation
Your shadow-self
Flittering silver
In reflection…
Raindrops clear as diamonds
calling for attention
rapping at your window,
and wait.
A reflection of a former you
Thoughts of what’s outside
Rain-patient, lucid inflection
Naivety reigns, still I watch
Distant clouds beckon,
A love to be renewed,
Waiting in the arms of silence,
By the window
Thunderous power spent
leaving rainbows in its wake
I feel the calm after the storm
as I live and breathe
by the window
Brilliant colors bloom
scenting your skin with sunsets
Gloaming nears, eyes alight
waiting to throw open the window
Dare I stay
A little longer
In the stillness
Between there and here.
Rushed by a spirited wind
my soul calls out to the clouds.
this window pain
in patience waits
for rain to bring clarity
to this window pane
Nightfall
Electrified by a sudden desire
Halcyon sun on the horizon
And the slow promise of the Night
By the window
Yearning for the rainbow
The sky’s very own
Vision of artistry
By the window
my imagination
flies free
more expansive
than the
universe
fits inside my
head
It frolics in
sunbeams
dances with
dust motes
leaping between
raindrops
to plunge in
darkness
on any given
day
by the window
There’s only me
By the window
Waiting for
My heart’s shadow
To escape
Through my soul’s door
And when, in time, I take my leave
a snapshot of love will come with me
for in my heart all want is gone
my freed soul waits for none
