Night

Night dressed in sparkling light 

A velvet sequined gown surrounds

A glowing smiling face

Whispers blown from a lost voice past

A sultry kiss of a siren breeze

Memories echo from a shadowy grave

Covered in a soft dark blanket of time 

Where the dirt of years

Covers a casket of rotting fears

Watered with golden tears

Molten light pouring from sunrise

A twist and turn poem. Nicely written

[Soren]

Thank you so much I appreciate your reading and review and yes, a poem with more than one meaning has more than one worth

[Chris Shaw]

A poem of beautiful contrasts. Lovely poetic expression which touches this reader on a number of levels. Lovely, Soren.

there's too much i like about this that i dont know where to start. it is extremely clever, the way images and wods work both against and for each other. i shall re-read this work in a later time, maybe i will find my voice then, but for now i leave you with a BRAVO!

[Soren]

Thank you so much your words humble me again. You’re a review service great inspiration for further writing and I thank you for that.

after reading this again, i thought how 'A glowing smiling face' could refer to one's mother. 'Memories echo from a shadowy grave' either she has died or that the character has grown out of her. 'Watered with golden tears' we read; the persona is grieving the loss of childhood and the feeling of protection he once had.

yet this interpretation dimminishes the strong style and the extremely clever manipulation of language displayed. it is esoteric and engaging on a multitude of levels.

[Soren]

Again you are onto something I would say literally the face may be seen as the moon and her goddess Isis but metaphorically your interpretation works

that's very interesting. im a very personal/touchy-feely person, you are much more well-read than i. this has been an interesting conversation that interfaces psychology and mythology.
