Crystal Blue

54

By I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s

just a rambling go... to recapture the groove


Feeling a bit blue


The flame burns higher


No dreams or sadness


Can dowse the blue fire


A bewitching high



Whether knocked down


Or striding glide


Descending


Slowly



Grounds still foreign



Truly glowing




So smooth


Delicate



Aligned with life...



Visions so inticing



Filled with desire


What is it about?


This crystal blue?


Is it how I feel?


Are ones waters so true?


Like rain



Upon an ocean


Pitter patter, ripples flow


Full of delight


Equalibrium sows


Melting my mind


Cool burnung within


Drifting with ease


Careful to write


As I digest


Freeing from fright


An invitation from me

To>


Vulnerable.......


Bout time we made friends


Is this the first


Or , are we just making amens?


>



Escaping unrest, wrestling goo


Or, is it the


Cool, placid, eccentric


Vibe of you


That haplessly soothes


Non-yielding rythmic groove


My vision of cool


Romantic, spacious, imagination


Maybe, the aroma that takes me to flight


Thoughts of the flame feathered



Senses of delight



So immersed


In a flowering sea


Lavender, vanilla,


Dark Chocolate covered expresso beans



Entrancing my soul


Enhancing dreams


gentle, soft, soothing, true



Savoring nector of it's kind


Surely, a treasure so align



Submerged


As if we be


A feather of your touch


This flame burns deep


Forlorn my lips to bare


The gravity of such


My riveting heart declares


Molten by it's touch


A succulent twist


Rare Vibe illuminates the air


Gently stirring


Thoughts once abandoned


Now burning strong


the Blue flames raging


Hearts long lost songs.

Blue is both a color and a state of mind. It is also both fire and ice as your poem clearly suggests. Nice juxtaposition of images and atmospheres that are anchored on the same thing. :D

Oh yes...you seem to write with a beautiful natural ability that makes it feel like you are just talking to me. It really is a gift. I like it.

This is good. I like the short lines. The space around the words is sometimes where the meaning is found.

vanilla,

Dark Chocolate covered expresso beans

exactly the taste of this! lovely piece Invictus :) I like the blue, the coldest of colors yet the hottest..this was a nice dive.saw your heart's desire onto the deep...

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s profile image

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s Hub Author 2 years ago

oops.. what you see? lol ~ yeah, I think a blue flame may seem cold to some, yet to me it is hotter than red.. the hottest actually... vanilla and lavender are my fave sents.. they are what I wear.. dark chocolate expresso beans are divine and mixed with all the rest would be what I'd call a "blue rush" Thanks, blaise! :)

Chocolate and drops of blue and lost love songs. You can retrieve them with ease in your prose and poetry, nice video.

I love the use of many kinds of rhyming here. The spacing and length of line quickens the reader down the page, very effective, especially with such heavy matter.

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s profile image

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s Hub Author 2 years ago

Thank you.. happy you enjoyed.. yeah, I'm more free form of how things unravel, typically.. and yes I do like to pack things into fewer words as to leave space for imaginations to linger..:)
