~ Dreams in Baroque 

 

 

 

 Let me walk alone another night time,

    For here I feel home, in the woods

        Of these forlorn times

Within my deepest solitude

     I make love to words,

             To nature, to you…

I hear the notes, my inner music

    Aching hauntingly

In the back of my mind

            Finding a place to rest

 

 

             And when the day is coming,

        I’ll be out of sight,

 I shall not bother you,

             With my baroque mind

       Yet I know you’re with me,

           Strongly day and night

Like a firefly around me,

           To land softly

                   On my shoulder

 

 

Let me breathe through all the pain,

     That never seems to end,

       I feel you, and within

           The light the moon weeps

              As sharp as she shines now,

And as frozen as her tears

        There is calmness,

                 To my path

            Hope to my road,

Just  feel my love in distance, with no fear

       My presence without vain.

 Be not afraid when I won’t return

      For together we already are…

                 You know, I have more than one

         Strong melody in my head,

I hear whole symphonies, like unseen worlds

    Countries large, and mountains high;

Each one is another road,

 

 

            And from there,

There are new wings to spread,

   Flights of music to make, together

      With you, and with our dreams

                   I hear thoughts

        Of a whole orchestra

                And listen to the message

          I won’t bother you with this era

That lives in me, for in the end,

                      I can only hear it.

                

                Love is like the wind, my man,

   We are like the stream of essence

        It comes and goes, when it feels the need;

             It’s as elusive as spring cannot touch winter,

And the birds not sing at night, but I…

        Just hummed some silent whispers

             I felt they danced like little raindrops

      O’er hills to you, to make music 

          On your windowpane that day

     And when you turned around, and slowly woke,

                 You felt a presence

      You know I was with you, to love you

                 To make contact...

My dear friend, although it is in the first person I interpreted this piece as a walk between the personal experiences of two people. The narrator dives into her personal realm, to feel, to imagine, to love, to walk away. But it is a seperate (not necessarily different but seperate) experience from her lover. And in that negative space created by the words, one can't help but think of that lover, what is he thinking? Is he okay with this outcome? To that subjective trap, there is reconciliation in both characters experienceing the same thing, i.e., the rain storm that she is witness to and the music it creates on his widowpane . . . or mutual love, itself. There is a weave in his poem of touch and distance that is absolute magic and requires great skill to achieve. Thank you for posting.

Thank you dear for such a wonderful intense review. I truly appreciate you, I was kinda busy the whole week, and this weekend. Not had much time to be here... I do love it what you got out of this, and I appreciate your reviews very much, you really read things. Thank you W.

Love is like wind- o yea! ! It moves wildly, gives freely,! Your words created a charming picture around me.I just stepped into the frame and it soothed me.Very few love unconditionally.And the way you've written this " you will know i was with you"- realising it too late when i will be gone.I really love the concept of yang and ying.it speaks to my inner being.just in the way your lines did "spring cannot touch winter"- but without spring there is no winter. Perfect write.You made my day amiga.. xx ;)
