RED

1.

Dying of a day / reflections

 

on surfaces of oceans

 

burnt umber, blue, and blood

 

the sinking sun

                       wounded

 

death is red

 

before the dark          ruins...

 

 

2.

It is the sensation of ripples

when supple pink linguist

leaves poetic yearning

on touching

of nape and taste,

lifting countries and new

conquered kingdoms

of skin

 

gooseflesh and earthquakes

blood as lava

rushes in

     kabuki cheeks

          secret joy begins

red and parched

sudden seas of thirst

parts / our senses / must

 

breathe ...

(like art)

 

Magic whispers kiss

because touch enpassioned

is red

    and wish.

 

3.

Love lorn letters

 

poetic bliss

     spontaneous wings born

 

each ache and void

trumpeting words

 

when distance fails

the hearts which speak

 

red

the oceans felt

 

the tides that ebb

 

hurried plea

desperations

red

 

when letters

lose the dying magnitude

the importance

and impetus

that love must free

 

clarion song

 

of hearts are red

as are all

kisses (scarlet)

even to air

and dead

 

begins on such lips

 

red....

Thank you for your kind review, i take it you like the last stanza... much appreciated.

[Benita-Staebell M - KindredPoet]

yes I do like the last stanza :) but the whole poem was great. You're welcome. Take care Benita

Wow, this is an incredible piece...it is criminal that this doesn't have more reviews than it does...the form gives it an experimental feel but the message is crystal-clear...I can't even begin to tick off the images I like the most, for they all come together to produce something that is neither surreal nor concrete...just an amazing and imaginative poem and an indelible statement of longing and lamenting of the distance between lovers...love this one.

[Butch Decatoria]

Wow, thank you so much for your awesome review...i'm humbled and speechless... much appreciated

This is really wonderful. Frieda sent it to me so thank her. I must admit, I sometimes miss some great stuff because I tend to get bogged down in RRs and frustrated with some people who don't visit because I don't send them. Nevertheless this was worth the stop in. Think my favourite is the first.

[Butch Decatoria]

Thank you thank you, said it twice so I mean it, thanks for your review...

[Frieda P]
