Opuss is a Heart

naaviie • 976 followers

This is a room of red satin silk,
Leather-bound books, cookies and milk,
Great grand old chairs rimmed gold,
All sit around to hear what is told,
Many roaring fires under twisted ledges,
Flickering light makes pictures, sketches,
Words whispered, cried and shouted,
A room now comfortably crowded,
It grows out, velvet carpet expanding,
New, glowing red, now transplanting,
Out into the world, capturing minds,
Occupant arms stretched out in kind,
Appropriating hearts with words,
Inviting freedom to fly with the birds,
Stories and poems, pulse and beat,
Enrapturing whether sour or sweet,
This is a heart, a soul, burning coal,
We are the blood that fills its hole.

They say a picture paints a thousand words. And sometimes this is true. But a word can paint a thousand pictures. And can mean something to you. A picture has the power to shock.

Rainbow Rain

A million drops fall from the sky. Some glitter green. While others are purple. Or violet in sheen. A drop of crystal blue. May be regretful and sad. Just as a drop of orange.

Let Us Be Free

Thick, thin. Pencil, pen. Art is so boring. We've yet to begin. No pictures to be drawn. No photos to be taken. It's left us all. Rather shaken. Taking notes. On different subjects of art.

A Watermelon

If I was a fruit I would be a watermelon. Hard on the outside. Inside so mellow. The green on the outside will be my cover. For the inside color I will save for my lover.

Like A Writer

Like a writer dancing. Enchanted by the fluid writing. The words are so inviting. A story in their movements telling. Like a writer painting. The colours are captivating. The canvas world's so vivid.

The Flower

You wear a flower, Woven in your hair. You pluck it with thought, And take a lot of care. That flower is you, Beautiful and bright. It's amazing really- Nothing prettier in sight.
