Release (Catherine G. Vilbrun)

by Scott Mitchell

Pieces of puzzles scattered
Trying to reassemble the fragments
Paints of tears on a pillow splattered
Like a canvas of broken flesh
Streamed with the blood of many wrongs
Wondering if this earth is where I belong
Stop this hurt from within
This never ending malevolent spin
Before my will escapes me
Let me draw the crimson lines that will release me
From The pain and the shame
Let me set this up in flame
Flamboyant as my ashes rise to the sun
Finally Free

Scott’s rave: This one is very deep and I can feel the pain in it and then the release of pain that the one personified seemingly could not avoid pursuing. Awesome writing Catherine! Please visit Catherine G. Vilbrun to read more of her work!

Oblivion (Catherine G. Vilbrun)

by Scott Mitchell

Rapture of skin
Glimpse of time passed
So sweetly
Gracefully ascending to oblivion
A symphony chanted in unison

Loosing grip on reality
Parting from the shell of skin
And embracing our duality made one
Your name like a chant upon my lips
Summoning a fragile love

Further parting to embrace you
The self of me lost in time
Falling into pure karma
Like an open book
Left for your fingers to discover and guide

Scott’s rave: The first words “Rapture of skin” immediately set the stage here in this work of art by Miss Vilbrun. Oh how the imagination takes control as I continue reading of  the succulent intimacy, but THEN, what’s this? The 3rd stanza poked my curiosity with “further parting.” Whew, I seriously just felt a thunderbolt through my entire soul! Can one part from and lose the self in such a moment? Wow, how so much can be pondered in that last stanza. I want to live this poem! Beautiful writing and I thank Catherine G. Vilbrun for sharing it here!

Enchanted (LScott)

by Scott Mitchell

Would I be too old fashioned
to ask for your hand
take a walk on the beach
dig our toes in the sand?

If I ask for a kiss
would you submit to my charms
fall into my eyes
lean into my arms?

If I ask for your love
bestow my heart fully to you
and if I give you the world
would you say I do?

Scott’s rave:  I love this sweet poem written by LScott! For me, this is what the love is all about. It’s about the special moments. Falling into my eyes or learning into my arms is just as intimate for my soul as any level of intimacy, if with the one I love so deeply. And then closing with the vow of forever. What in this world is greater in comparison to that? Thanks again Lauren, for this contribution of your writing here! Please visit LScott Poetry for more of her beautiful writing!

A Bitter Sweet End (Bluefiadiarries)

by Scott Mitchell

If you choose to be silent then fine
I’ll choose to be myself
Give all or draw some line
I’m not just a book puts on the shelf

Good bye isn’t necessary
I’m no type who holds one in a hurry
Take your time and explore others
I don’t think it will make my value over

Someone to lose or someone to gain
That’s the only true that life remain
I’ll lose someone today but I might be lucky tomorrow
You let go of me just a bow to an arrow

Nonetheless I’ll be stronger
This will not take longer
Good bye to you my friend
This is a bitter sweet end

Scott’s rave: Another one from Blue! I can relate to this one in many ways. There comes that time when we have to say good bye. Since normal and real friends never really say it, I have to assume this is related to a “romantic interest” friend or a friend that one hoped for more with. It’s statistically uncommon that after further interests are at play that the two can’t step back and just be normal friends and they must  part ways. That’s not always the case, but often is I believe. I’ve written of it myself in a poem or two. Nice writing Bluefiadiarries! Please visit her blog for more poetry.

A Gift to You (Artistry Allure)

by Scott Mitchell

I want you to know what I hide in the gutters of my soul
the dirty specks, part of a whole
and if you can handle my worst
then surely my best will not be compensation
it will be a symbol of my growth and rebirth

a gift to you
for not letting my mistakes define me
for seeing through the toxic
for unveiling me
so gently

like morning dew drops on petals
you’ve placed jewels on my feet
because the path they walked
they shall walk no more

a moment (SM)

by Scott Mitchell

Here we are, inside of a moment
or perhaps on the outside, looking in
Where would your heart be, if with me
in the now, as we take reality for a spin

Holding horizons in your eyes
don’t tell me to stay ashore
There’s a wind tonight, I hear an ocean cry
begging for a sail or an oar

Of the countless moments I’ve lived
anticipation never felt so profound
An endless frenzy, spoken with eyes
a warm embrace, and no need for a sound

This moment is ours to breathe
may the vital breath of my heart endure
unwithered

One Beats the Hundred (Bluefiadiarries)

by Scott Mitchell

A hundred reasons to forget you
Yet one reason to hold on to
One beats the hundred
Heart always wins over the mind

I’ll cling into my heart
In the end it’s the start
The story we’ll both take part
A promise we’ll never part

Someday, we’re gonna be
Together as we let it be
One forever and a day
Share our happiness in our own way

Scott’s rave:  Wow, I can understand so well the sentiment expressed in this one. “Heart always wins over the mind”!!?? How true is that and how many have learned that it’s a losing battle to try to convince the heart of anything other than what it has decided.  Beautiful poem here Blue and only in 3 minutes! One thing I like about Bluefiadiarries is that she always pours out her heart into poems like this one, not holding back. Please visit her blog to read more and follow.

Pulse (RomanceWithVal)

by Scott Mitchell

Fingertips brush the smooth keys
The beauty produced can’t be duplicated
The melody pushes through with ease
And feeling is reciprocated
Breathing becomes harder
The longing goes longer
The heart beats get louder
Get off my face you silly smile
You really shouldn’t be there
But I’m so deep in denial
I’ll take this breath of fresh air

Scott’s Rave: This is another amazing poem from Val and I’m feeling much more expressed in this one than can be normally described in only 11 lines. Fulfillment of desires musically expressed in deeper breath and heart beats. What is that unavoidable smile for and why so deep in denial? This is not a routine nightly lover’s experience, I say. It’s a moment one waited a lifetime for. A-W-E-S-O-M-E poem here Val!! Please visit RomanceWithVal and enjoy more of her amazing romantic writing! She allowed me to name this one so I chose “Pulse” because while reading it I can feel the steady rhythm of a pulse, in a moment of increased intensity with each beat.

Satellite Love (Catherine G. Vilbrun)

by Scott Mitchell

I’m too weak for love, I give in
I’m too strong to bend my heart
And carry on with reason
They say love is a force
Well I say this mended heart is left
A slave to the force
Does this lust made by love from
The dark or the light?
It must be pure because its beauty
Imprinted a mark as golden as the sun

Into the Wind (SM)

by Scott Mitchell

I’ve loved you since the first moment
I saw your smile that took my heart
We grew into more
and my dreams grew too
I only imagined one possible future
it was all with you

Things changed and I could see
things unexpected and obsurd
My heart broke 2 times
as if it wasn’t enough
for me to fall to my knees

Face down in the dirt, but
then you changed
Now I often hear something sweet
in your voice again
It feels real and pure

My love always stays, I can’t deny
but how to forgive and move forward
How to see all I saw in those eyes
I’m a new person now, and
I feel I need some alone time

But to think of your heart
if I were to walk away
I’d be killing myself dead
Just one more thing taking
control of my head

How many times can caution
be thrown to the wind
However many times
the wind will blow
I’ll throw it again for you
