YET WILDER by Elise

I write from pure emotion...

...and I prefer not to describe my poetry, but to allow it to be interpreted on a personal level with the reader. 

"Elise is a multi-media visual artist who fuses her own original musical compositions with voice recitations of her own enchanting poetry and moving visual imagery, to offer us a very unique experience of her heart's outpours. The following are two poems from her 'Sacred Realm' collection. Treat yourself to one of her creations by clicking the play button below."

Yet Wilder

Shalt thou remember me?

Shalt we walk the eternity

of our dreams?

Is it not the truth that we have

sought the same redemption?

Is it not the given hand of light

that binds our souls?

*

You do not wish to call me.

You do not wish to see the

veil that lay between us.

I am seclusion’s glove;

the mist within your eyes;

the voice of your silence.

We are bound,

not through flesh - yet wilder,

through the celestial prophecy

of Sacred voyage.

I cannot leave without you.

                 
*

Pledge

I pledge this soul,

to thee, Sacred Scribe

of my worldly birth,

arisen from the shrine of prose,

this mouth, these lips, these

words proclaimed.

For thou, hast given so unselfishly.

Thou, whose honour shall not deter

of everlasting love.

Nor, blessed voice forsaken,

from the prophecy of truth.
