light up - by Invictus

57

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

light up....my inspiring muse

To say I am blessed could never acknowledge the measure how you've touched me in all my days

Your voice has changed where wisdom plays, filled my senses overflowing magnificent ways

Sight

A match to the fire within, a torch to see through darkest day

a caress in times of sorrow, a kiss to brighten my day

a hug when solo feels alone, a fire to burn, ignite my dreams

a cloud to give me shelter, a river for my soul to free

an ocean with tides of life

far, wide

Ever-spacious, in-between

Whispering

Forget about tomorrow, love today

I am here for you always, never gonna fade

we are one in light and passion of display, feel me always

Never gonna fade away

Make a choice, as many as you'd like

When life just doesn't feel quite right

Visualize a cloud so bright with your hue

Paint your greatest wish, so we can make it true

When love arrives, plant it in your chest

Stay clear, bold, optimistic, and wise

Be true to your love, never faint eye

For those who weaken, attract their demise

Unafraid

Ready to blaze the fire you showered, greatest desires

How grateful, forever I remain

You shared your love and guided me by the mane

Should you leave tomorrow, I will bare no sorrow

For you filled me right, with universal sight

My love for you, is forever true

If you leave me today, I know It's time

To walk my own way

In open arms glowing, fever

Compassionate, patient

Surrender

Joy

For the love you've groomed

Will continue to

Flower

Into timeless journey, forever more

Passion filled through your sacred lore

We've become one, painted desire

You've set my life in blazing fire

There are no words to express

My chakra's filled, like a treasure chest

In my heart, you are the mould

of planted seeds within my soul.

Fantastic beginning to this poem - wonderful play on words, thought provoking - then you take a slight turn & continue with expressing emotions of love, pure real intense & passionate verbiage chosen to release the poem into flight.

I love it, wish I could find a guy with that kind of heart.

You have a tremendous way with words! I don't know what some of the lines mean- I'm sure that'a half the point. What does it mean to me? This poem makes me hope that someday I can be this type of guiding, mentoring source in someone's understanding of life and love.

Thank you for this.

Miss Take 2 years ago

so you could do a rant..... not giving anything away...... Imagine something that made you angry however long ago, not a relationship thing,,,,,, and just tell the person how you feel kinda really angrily. It would be so different from your usual stuff, as it would not be poetry, not be kind, and certainly not red, a bit of yellow if you must but only a bit. It would probably be quite funny

you may need a little inspiration....... i have been spoiled having 3 days of and lots of time on here, but this morning at work i was put with a horrible carer, and everything went wrong, she ended up screaming at me. I hate conflict, i think i am getting a cold and have been in a deepish mood, and guess what it is my weekend on, have to go back in tomorrow. Ah well, what is your poem about

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

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

oh, my what a day... sigh... inspiration would be grand...

Whish poem?? ha ha I have 3 started, 1 is started about my old mountain life, then it travered into being about my brother :) 2nd about the ocean and love :) 3RD about why I write..

my head is feeling a bit wishy- washy...

poetlorraine 2 years ago

if i was you i lwould do all three, they will all be great, your standard is always high and i would love to read them.

I might try to do some article writing but it will be next week before i get round to it... Do the mountain life one that sounds really interesting, why you write is interesting too and your brother would be interesting,. OCEANS and love are always interesting too so there you are. The last thing in the world i could do today would be write a poem

you are certainly on a high....... long may it last creativity wise, but maybe it's exhausting for you...... do you know the person that wrote the butterfly musings, sounds vaguely familiar, i liked it did you......

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

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

Oh yes, it can get exhausting! I had some agitation earlier and felt overly sensitive seeing so many hubs relating to goodbyes, death of love, and endings...it was like a blade slicing me... whew, thank god that is over...

I did enjoy the musings, though do not know whom they belong. I fanned Ms Butterfly earlier, thinking it may be you! :)

poetlorraine 2 years ago

i thought it was me when i read it, actually strange eh...

ah well this hub is certainly not about death or anything sad..... so rejoice in that ........ go out tomorrow and get away from the computer for a while, blow the cobwebs away..... bossy aren't I.....

Love is truly the perfect gift, for giving, forgiving, it's

what all giving is for, we were put here to love and to perpetuate our kind, our kindness, to share expressions of love with our kindred. There really is no other nobler purpose in life than to love, it brings peace and harmony and can satisfy the sourest, dourest soul. Exquisite hub.~~~~~~MFB III
