Efflorescence

Folder: 
Flashback Fridays

Sweet surrender, subtle
subjugation of all that you
are to the will of another.
Unbound, you bare your soul
to one who devours life and love.
All that you are, all that you can be,
all that you may become,
mean nothing. Irrelevance reigns supreme;

except to the poppies,
who grow in the field,
untended, and
all the more
beautiful
for that lack.

thanks for the share

I didn't know you knew me so well (jks)
seriouly though this was an enjoyable read, perhaps because it hit home, perhaps because the words just seem to flowfrom one-another like waterfalls on the same river, perhaps because of all that aliteration at the start, who knows, it was just enjoyable love

Much Love

Been there done that, I

Been there done that, I really can Identify with the filled zombie like state of the poppies addictive affective and lost in the beauty of being seductively used... This is my kinda walk through Oz -thanks.

Wow I am so lost

but in a great way, I must say. It is always magical to read a poem that you cant quite understand but continue to ponder its meaning as you scroll your eyes about it again and again, carefully examining each line and trying to strip some correct fathoming of its meaning. Its not to often I read something that makes me really think, and this has done just that. well done

still im attempting to understand this piece
I love when this happens!
