If all of this emotion
All of this hidden feeling
Masquerading
As fear
Is a wild storm
Pulling me this way and that
Your clarion call will be the sonar
Of unconditional love that resonates
Deeply inside
Every
Single fiber
Of my being
When you bear
Testament to love
Then my all of my dark and hidden
Fearful places
Open
Like a tightly closed flower bud
Surprised by the Sun
After a rain shower
And as I bend to the ground
Which absorbs all of my pain
Not only mine
The pain
Of far too many
Lost generations
Then at the same time
Tiny seeds of light will be sown
Deep within the stony ground
And even though they will
Take time to bear wholesome fruit
Still I will allow the quivering
That is nothing less than my own buried life force
Awakening
From within the tightly enclosed capsule
I had to build
Thinking it would keep me
Safe
From
Harm
Frightening as it is
I must be brave
As
I rise again
To face the truth
While all of the sensations
Swirl
Uncoil
And unravel
Like a long entangled web
Of ignorance
That drove me on
Leading me to run
So very far
Away from you
This poem is really beautiful esp. the metaphor of flower bud opening to the rays of love ❤️. Also the line, “ I rise again” is so inspiring Deb.

I never received the message so clearly that you have poetically expressed in verse. It was like I was watching a sexual encounter you have had a sharing of a rose opening up and invite the entering each of your petals to caress and how to make your Rose bloom completely. I hope you don’t mind my sharing my own experience of your poem

Youvr sexualising something about emotion in my opinion but it’s just my opinion. It feels a bit like a boundary violation to be blatantly honest. We all project onto things this is your projection not the intention with which I wrote this poem.
