Scott Mitchell's avatar8 Minutes or Less

The taste of salt and sweat of your skin is sweet
but the taste of your tears is much sweeter

To feel your body overwhelmed,
Arms wrapped around me- heavy breathing

Your silenceā€¦
It can never amount to the saline dam that our love making just brokeā€¦

Scottā€™s rave:Ā This is awesome poetry, as it pulls me in not only from the good writing, but in analysis of all the meaning that the writer is expressing for her muse. Festival King is an artist of poetic expression and I like her art so much that I almost canā€™t stand it! Ending this one in ā€œYour silenceā€¦.ā€ and then what is that saline dam that broke? Not physically, but what in the soul could make such a thing happen? Iā€™m in awe, and yet I think I understand it all. Beautiful work again Festival King!!ā€¦

Red

Today on dVerse, Anna Montgomery is taking us through the art of contemporary poetry. When I wrote “Red” earlier on in the year I thought it was just out right weird, but after reading her article I understand this piece even more.

Happy reading and please meet up with Anna at http://dversepoets.com/2012/10/04/meeting-the-bar-postmodern-prose/ for an education on Contemporary Poetry

Cheers!

Iā€™m not sure it makes sense anymore, how could it come to this?ā€¦. Maybe I should have seen it from the get go but all I saw was ā€œRedā€ā€¦

I fell in love with beauty I had never known. Vibrant, Sexy, Intelligent, Creativeā€¦ A perfect gift of Cupidā€™s to me. She would be my gem and fortune, and she was. We gave into each other absolutely;Ā  the perfect coupleā€¦ Everything was ā€œRedā€, but time is a wicked thingā€¦. With it that vibrant color begins to wear and a faded texture I see.

Cupidā€™s gift gradually morphs into a fiendish curse. Aggression and anger is its gift to us. She, still my rare beauty, I look at her and the devil wears Prada comes to mind. My ā€œRedā€ beautiful, powerful and yet vain flower.

Quarrels over the slightest matters ensueā€¦ Initially welcome, as passionate acts of reconciliation fuel ā€œbittersweetā€ to aā€¦

What to do when in Love

Dee Ezeilo's avatarDoris Ogale Ezeilo

When in love, fearlessly express your love in a variety of ways. Never worry about what others might say or think. Always speak the truth that lies in your heart.

When in love, gather all your courage with both hands, and feel free to beat up your man, or chase him around the village square as Ntsame Minlame did in Daniel Mengaraā€™s Mema, at the end of the chase, you can always dramatically end the scene by using your machete on yourself, what better way to demonstrate the term ā€˜crazy in loveā€™.

Continue to love selflessly a person who has demonstrated countless times, the inability to reciprocate your love, a person who does not in any way deserve your love or friendship, when in love, you are allowed major acts of stupidity and great foolishness, after all, it is only fools who love.

When in love, please remember to actā€¦

The heart is a receptacle on earth of the divine Spirit. When it holds the divine spirit it soars heavenward. The divine spark which is reflected in the human heart is love.

We need to seek God in the heart of mankind. When we recognize the divine in everyone, we have taken the first step. We also need to be considerate to everyone with our thoughts, actions, and speech.

As you meditate, and visit the inner landscapes, recognize in your own feeling the feeling of God. Know that every impulse of love that rises in your heart is a divine direction from God. This love is the divine spark in your heart which will ignite a flame to rise to illuminate your lifeā€™s path.

The living thing in the heart is love. It may show itself as kindness, friendship, sympathy, tolerance or forgiveness.

True spirituality lies in opening the heartā€¦
