Description
Where the flame of passionShone in my eyes
A flinty dull glow emerges
Where the bloom
Of my cheeks warmed
The ice in my veins numbs
Where the shiver of delight
From a lovers touch traveled
The chill of the growing Void
Numbs my Senses
When this body demands
Its upkeep and snarls in hunger
Pins and needles are its language
Through its emotional pain
I am reminded I am Alive
Through the rain whipping me
The thunder of waves lashing my ears
I overcome the relentless pain
For I am insignificant in its might
And pain is of no concern nor fright
I can Feel again for I am one with it.

This one comes from a deep place I admit. I don't recall doing a manipulation that contained that much of my emotions and energy. The whole visuals and the text flowed out and thought why not express what I'm feeling even though its transitory. Thank you for the appreciation Flo

...I can imagine ,what that means,my dear.I could "recieve"it so strong in there.and I know about such emotion.I think,that's why your creation here is so excellent.
And Iam glad,that this feeling was transitory,for yourself,I mean.

Those feelings come every fall at the turn of the season, some people are more prone to it and are more sensitive. Knowing what occurs help somewhat and you find outlets to express what is going instead of keeping it bottled up where invariably it gets twisted and gains strength. I know its transitory so that makes it somewhat more bearable. Thank you for being there Flo

...I understand ,what you mean...My boyfriend knowing me now for 10 years,
always says,that I'm like the "sap of the trees",when it "raises up",or is
going down
I'm very "emotional"and sensible,is this my "failing"or my "strenght"?sometimes,
both?I think,however,the importance is,that our force is not,"to never fall,but to
raise ourselfes up,evertime we are falling..."
I hope and wish you to find this force always inside yourself,because,it is "in us",
we just have to search...

I agree! Just about everything in this composition speaks of a bleak place. Not one of my sensual or warm works, it punches through. Thank you for your comment.

beautiful and poignant... that environment, raining and crashing waves is my favourite, I feel so alive when there is a storm raging on...

The energy of the storm overrides anything else. There's a certain freedom of thought and mind that transcends. It depends on one's state of mind but I've been out in a few and the feeling is exhilarating. Thank you for the appreciation

Wow...what an amazin read...really...and pic!
Here in this place
let darkness claim your pain
I will find you in the rain
by the amber of your glow
as our souls slowly mellow
and await
a new days dawn
Your flame warms my heart
big hugs
...blu

Thank you luv, the images and the words flowed out in this one. Although dark and depressive it communicates strongly and I find it reaches deep within. The poetry of your comment is like a lantern and anchor in the storm

Its seasonal depression and it hits me every time and the best I can do is express it in art. I'm weary and it takes more concentration to focus. I literally feel numb half the time and the rest I feel like things are through a magnifying glass so I prefer the numbness between the two
