Hide-And-Seek Within
By Nimue44
Wisdom comes with pain.
But it requires prise-
As
it is not the prize.
Scars were just the gateways,
The keyholes
To
unopened third-eyes.
Sundering thoughts.
“Why is there a verb for oozing light
[shine]
but not one for oozing darkness?”
Memory and melody have the 2-twisting letters
That
stand the farthest…
I believe in one-day beauty
[1,2,3. Midnight butterflies]
and in one-thousand years beauty,
in a seven-season long summertime.
I believe in the beauty of an instant,
In the sparkling webs of tears
Trapped in someone’s eyelashes.
In the sound of a dozen matches.
[4,5. Catching fire at the
same time]
I believe in the sour and in the soaring,
In the sweet and in the mo(u)rning.
I believe in the Fallen
That Phoenix-rise.
In the wounded
That forgive at last.
[6,7. All the birds have gathered
for your first flight. So fly.]
I believe
In remembering who you are
Just by watching your hands.
And
[let the color lines stand-out.
Weave & weave
to cast one only line: “I
am”]
Spellbound by peace,
The battle-born mirths.
Be worthy of yourself,
Not of some soul mate hidden somewhere.
[8,9,10. Ready or not,
here I come!]
Be happy- find a way.
Authenticity is a hard-removable aura.
It’s imposible to be who you’re not while you use your hands.
[Petrichor is the smell of
dreams, besides of rain.]
The third eye peeks right inside the box of Pandora,
but suffering is out there anyway.
I want to share this happiness with you.
There’s sickness, there’s pendulum-silence, there’s pillow-tiredness.
There’s the heart-attacked absence of champagne
Colored
Rain.
But I’m at peace with who I am.
I know my life
I
know my name
I know my songs
And they’re worth all I will ever be.
[There’s no soul mate hiding.
It was me all along.
And I’m me.]
So here it is:
My name is Alice.
I’m she,
And I’m Nim.
[Even if/Because Tuomas once said that I have all
the oceans within.]
I’m ready to be born
Everytime I write a Word.
It’s a tragedy and a blessing that we can’t say everything in just
one work.
Last tune.
Or maybe we can.
All
you need, after all- are your hands.
[Found you.]

So many quotable lines here, I fell in love with the way you crafted your words. You've left me flabbergasted where I stand. I 'do not' have that happen to me often here. -Brava .applauds.

Cleverly crafted and terribly perceptive. You are very precise with your words, and it makes for artful poetry.
