Coming of age
Ample grace
Retreating glances
Generous tales
Wounded obligations
Brilliant emptiness
Tamed performances
Bleeding cuticles
Altered migraines
Daring intentions
Bright suspicions
Scrubbed sentiments
Lethal vulnerability
Ample exhaustion
Decisive determination
Failed seduction
Lingering eroticism
Subjugated imagination
Luxurious rage
Marked coherence
Coming of age
the eyes
that smile
in wrinkles
that line
milky ways
and hair
that sings
to nostalgia
in black&white
and bosom
that rises
in unison
with hope
Coming of age
the possibilities
that urge
me to
flourish
with age
Retreating glance but daring intentions,subjugated imaginations but decisive determination, beutifully describe the conflicts that naturally come up with coming of age.
Every boy ,every girl at this age experiences these conflicting emotions but it is the poet like you who can give words to the same. Brilliance is evident in each stanza.
