A Poem by Ana B.

Be still my brittle heart,

Caught up in the rhapsody of blue…

Unyielding… my fateful rampart

In this coda that’s so overdue.

 

And as the puckered clouds

Watch over me

They hastily take off their gowns - 

The morsels of that ravaged ancestry…

 

And naked truths make themselves known

For those happy few…

Like a hot breath vibrating on my collarbone

Yanking my dissolute thoughts… yet here they regrew

 

 

Dreamers…they never learn…

Was my pleasure Ana and you are welcome.
Sometimes all we have are our dreams...and know it is all we might EVER have... and sometimes - we do share them.

Yet again you touch the heart and the mind with your poetry, Ana.
Your words force the mind to seek a meaning, while the meaning sinks into the heart with the bitter-sweetness of a silent blues song. Well executed, dear poet.

i am kind of glad that dreamers never learn---i still dream...maybe the dreams are a little more cynical....but they still exist.

your wording is excellent here....really love the Gershwin reference...had me humming as i was reading.

Thank you very much :)
Great job here, Ana. You really had your way with imagery in this poem, each stanza rolling together like a brief film in themselves. Very pretty imagery, and the last line hit the way it should, because dreamers indeed never learn.

Again, great job. :)
