Soul Chasers


~ Soul Chasers ~
 
 

Through indigo skies
the hibiscus sighs
seducing the air
her scent everywhere
 
the whippoorwill calls
my soul stumbles, and falls
I question my mind
you answer, in kind
 
lost song of lovers
the melody uncovers
would you not follow
leave me sad and hollow
 
chasing a soul
I cannot control
the power not mine
to realign
 
through indigo skies
I recognize
the scent of destruction
lured by seduction
 
I counter, with grace
you bow and embrace
the light that I sought
my wandering, for naught.

      Haha! Well of course I had to include the song lyrics, but I almost didn't use the hibiscus. Then it kind of just made an appearance anyway :) Thanks, Dave :)

    Stunning, hard driving rhythm and rhyme piece here. Just when I was about to stop and catch my breath, you dropped a bomb of a closure. Talk about a major attention getter!

    Hello. I am Myke Todd and I approve this poem.

    I have yet to write a poem where I use the prompts and make it sound as you do. :)

    Yes, I suppose many of his songs could be a song for lovers.
