Deeply passionate about the written word, I find immense satisfaction in using the power of the brain to express the undercurrents of the mind. I do it for the joy of transforming simple thoughts into encrypted works and at times, for the sense of challenge - of expressing complex content in the simplest of lines. Usually writing in moments of intense inspiration, I finish a piece in one go.. Hope you enjoy reading, decoding, relating, critiquing.

My Sliver of the Sky
The cloud
in drops
burns its way through to my soul My flesh is pierced with a million stars that glow from the cloud now ablaze within me.
i do guess that this poem has a symbolic meaning, but even otherwise, its simplicity has a charm of its own, as you've combined many of the nature's elemental forces in it - sky, clouds, stars, rain, fire. So there's no way its slivers won't pierce through the soul :) simplest things are the most beautiful ones and so is your sliver of the sky !
Isn't it wonderful to discover an alternate rendition to your emotion/thought. I fould this and felt it connected.. even musically and vocally: Adele - Set Fire to the Rain-
I somehow relate to these a LOT :D
ReplyDeletethe soul and the stars always inspire me too :)

ReplyDeletearrows get shot , from a cloudy quiver
ReplyDeletedrop by drop, sliver by sliver
millions of them, and yet no shiver!
coz inside of you, they light a fire
streaking stars, ignite the desire
coming down from above...
and taking one higher !
