Turbulent mind

 The Scream by Edward Munch
The Scream by Edvard Munch

Prominence annoyed…
He speaks in stern voice
To rotate an affection
     To hide into penumbra
    To burst in love flares later

                   &

Hushed, turbulent pain
Transmits in radiant zone
'Love lights the whole sky'…*

* The last line - from poetry of 14 century by Hafiz

  3. Wow, all this fire! Too bad it's for disgruntled love. In the first loss of prominence brings on a stern dominance. In the second pain causes the flare up--painful love. I hope that there is a gentler fire than the one promised by James Baldwin in "Fire Next Time." Fine pieces.

  4. I love Hafiz's quote about the sky, and you have used his line wonderfully here. I like "transmits in radiant zone".

  5. "Love lights the whole sky!" I adore that line, it feels like how a child sees the world, completely and without question! It's fact!

  6. Love lights the sky is a great line. The sun might get jealous though

  8. Only for those in love does the light fill the whole sky. Love is hope and slowly it is becoming less important in our hedonistic world.

  11. Great incorporation of all the different prompts, and thanks for introducing me to "penumbra" as I was not familiar with that term before. And, I just LOVE Hafiz so always love to see a nod to him :-)

  18. I like the thought of love lighting the whole sky..hoping it would radiate to some hearts below on earth.

  19. That love seems quite dangerous to me. I loved this bit:
    "To hide into penumbra
    To burst in love flares later"
    Wonderful.

  21. Sometimes we do hide in the shadows of love, but it's still there and like the sun, it will shine. Lovely poem. Like the other commentors I love the last lines.
