Tiles

Driven by the urge to write, her hands are stained with ink..

Guilty of writing the words of a song..

She’s composed it on the road.

A song of a journey full of journeys it is!

It may occasionally rhyme, words change and fade with time.

There she goes walking on the tiles of life..

Jumping from white to white! Skipping the blacks?

But more colors have invaded the floor she’s always hopped upon.

Now what?!

Appealing they are but a source of confusion!

Their beauty makes them dangerous, a risk she’ll have to take..

She’ll have to paint, she’ll have to lay her bare feet upon those colors and see how they feel.

They may sting!

They may even crumble beneath her feet.   But she has to walk.

She has to walk!

She has to walk.

"It may occasionally rhyme, words change and fade with time" This is clever, I really like how you made the line rhyme.
"Appealing they are but a source of confusion!" There should be a comma or some sort of punctuation after 'appealing' because take that out of context and it's not a proper sentence. (of course it's poetry you can give grammar the bird haha)
I love the meaning behind this poem. I took from it that it is about a girl doing the same thing going through life in her comfort zone but then she opens her eyes and as she gets older and 'grows up' so to speak she sees all these new choice and opportunities that she wants to try. In love, job, friends etc and even though she's scared things might not work out she going to try anyways!
It's an inspiring story and you tell it through a beautiful metaphor. I love it! Great work :)

Imara :) I didn't see your review for some reasons and just ran into it accidently. Thank you so much for the tips and the feedback I'm really glad you liked it, I guess I always write in a way where each and every reader translates it into the image he likes, I believe that's what life's about each sees it from his own angle, I love the way you interpretd this one. Your comment is very appreciated and it's great having you here.

A very insightful commentary on the fact that life's choices are not always black and white.
Perhaps her song will be her outlet for the confusion she labors under?

You left me wondering and I like that.
