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!

Yours for mine (RomanceWithVal)

by Scott Mitchell

I’ll trade you a smile
For a kiss
The tip of my tongue
For your lips

The palm of your hand
For my hips
The front of my shirt
For a rip

The swell of my breasts
For only the best
The length of my legs
For you to spread

The arch in my back
For a forward thrust
The scream of your name
For one night of lust

Scott’s rave: Another awesome one from Romance With Val! I love the creativity of “trading” in this. This queen of romance writing expresses everything perfectly in words, to raise eyebrows of the reader. “The scream of your name”??? My senses and imagination are sent into oblivion… Please visit RomanceWithVal for more of her great 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 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

Limited by Flesh (Festival King)

by Scott Mitchell

I write these words on parchment in a matter of minutes
Yet on my heart inscribed in seconds
In essence there they always resided
and with speed of thought my brain speaks,
My fingers grasp the quill and by awe of such thought I am stilled…
Then I write but stunted as ink in my tool takes flight.
By new pen my heart unfolds on paper… “I Love thee”

Scott’s rave: Another thought provoking one from Festival King! Oh, you poetess, creating deliberation and debate within my own mind. Now, your words are artful prey of my soul as this hunter delves in, wanting to pounce on the deepest meaning! You taunt my soul FK! Possibly it is all just as it reads, but her style makes one ponder and desire more. Please visit Festival King for more of her great writing!

Dance (LScott)

by Scott Mitchell

Lying on the sand
contoured to our needs
no one watches
but the moon and stars
and if they could talk
what a story to be told

We’re all alone
You and me
with souls entwined
we share ecstasy
gliding to the melody
played by the waves
their rhythm joins us
in the moves we create

Can we stay,
embraced,
skin on skin,
and begin again?

Scott’s rave: Wow, my eyes and soul just drank a cafe mocha with whipped cream! I think all my favorite poets are trying to give me an art attack of sensual flow. This one from LScott is obviously no exception and seems to bring together everything one could hope for in describing such a moment. The setting and sensual embrace of both soul and body. So beautifully composed LScott! Please visit LScott Poetry and dive even deeper into her beautiful mind.

Över Flow (Festival King)

by Scott Mitchell

The taste of salt and sweat of your skin is sweet
but the taste of your tears is much sweeter

To feel your body overwhelmed,
Arms wrapped around me- heavy breathing

Your silence…
It can never amount to the saline dam that our love making just broke…

Scott’s rave: This is awesome poetry, as it pulls me in not only from the good writing, but in analysis of all the meaning that the writer is expressing for her muse. Festival King is an artist of poetic expression and I like her art so much that I almost can’t stand it! Ending this one in “Your silence….” and then what is that saline dam that broke? Not physically, but what in the soul could make such a thing happen? I’m in awe, and yet I think I understand it all. Beautiful work again Festival King!!

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.
