Counting my changes

Dragon creed
Our wings are shelter
For the weak
Our souls meek
We shun the glitz and glitter
Though we’re born of stars
The old code
Is more than adage
Not mere tale
Past glory
We have none to assuage
That time may erode
Soul swollen
Eternal homage
Bursts in me
Thwarted plea
Now forgotten I don’t flee
The waking moments
Bosoms bare
The heart of thunder
You wonder
Why not fear
The shield is but for the feud
No destiny’s spear
Knave and lewd
They gather hell’s fire
Rake fallen
Spew desire
There is a riddle I admire
She says it on Nile
We crawl slow
Then we stand proud tall
Before age
And fate’s weight
Curb in us the springy gait
And three are our legs
We cover
Our humanity
And frailty
Saucy words
Invisibility’s cloak
Weapons of the mind
There is truth
In between the lies
Where we find
Redemption
Overhauling weaknesses
Pennies in the sun
They shine slight
She innerves them light
Tolerance
Daily task
In their brittle light I bask
Counting my changes
Reading of the poem:
It’s Time – Imagine Dragons
Demons – Imagine Dragons
Roots – Imagine Dragons
Love this. Full of urgency before time takes away our options. Beautiful write.
Yes, time is a harsh master for those who are slaves to it
Thank you my friend
Change is inevitable but I love that the potency of your words remain the same. I can add no more that what has already been said, my friend. A finely crafted piece of work that carries epic weight.
Thank you so much for your appreciation and praise my friend 🙂
You are welcome, my friend 🙂
Your heart and mind are strong to write such lines that take our breaths away. I can smell the heat of battle..
-Dajena 🙂
Thank you Dajena. We battle but our own fears 😉
yes we do, it is inevitable. 🙂
As always your poems enchant me, this ones imagery is wonderful.
Thank you Adele. I am glad you like them 🙂
Love this. I feel like you created a whole other being and parted a very human lesson within.
Yes, very true. Thank you Marissa
Powerful work, Geetha
Thank you Derrick. I feel some flow less but this breathed fire although I could not convey that when reading as my breath is irregular
wow, this is…amazing and yet that word just doesn’t do your poem justice. It’s resonant.
“Dragon creed
Our wings are shelter
For the weak” — this is an encapsulation of one of my unpublished books! 🙂
“Our souls meek
We shun the glitz and glitter
Though we’re born of stars.” — I have another unpublished book where the opposite is the premise (there are dragons in this story too). I’m loving these parallels!
“We cover
Our humanity
And frailty
Saucy words
Invisibility’s cloak
Weapons of the mind” — so true, we are our own worst enemy and we use only our minds to do the greatest amount of damage to ourselves by denying that:
“There is truth
In between the lies
Where we find
Redemption
Overhauling weaknesses
Pennies in the sun” – redemption indeed is a penny in the sun, it seems like so small a thing until you pile them up and yet, we can’t help but want those pennies of redemption because of their attractive shine. Who among us can resist picking up a penny on the sidewalk?
Thanks so much! I am loving this synchronicity Melinda. We are all drawn into each other’s lives for a reason. There are soul tribes and twin souls that are drawn to each other by ancient alchemy be it words, smell, otherworldly sight or touch. It is exhilarating to discover the synchronicities. Will be lovely to read your book 🙂
You’re welcome! I too love the synchronicity! I want to publish it. It’s written but not edited. I also wrote the sequels because One book couldn’t contain the whole story. I hadn’t expected it to be a series but it is. i hope to get to it soon. I just need more hours in the day or to work less hours!
It would be lovely to be paid to write would it not? 🙂
Yes that is my dream. To to be paid to do what I love!
Imparts a sense of epic wonder setting my imagination on high gear. I feel like a child with your poetry, learning for the first time words and sounds 🙂
What a thrilling compliment Hector. That totally made my day, thanks 😀
As I already saw you comment I checked out your poetry now. It is amazing, profound and heartfelt. I will keep checking though I have very little time.
An honor to have you visit Geetha, thank you 🙂
One more time your imagination amaze me, Geetha
Your poems are fascinating
💐
