I'd love my world be a freshly painted fresco,
And I be blessed with the genius of Michelangelo,
where I see a fair angel in the marble
and carve relentlessly till I set him free;
where coloured shapes and misplaced hallows of
aged, ineffectual lives melt into white flowers
blowing carelessly in the wind,
And the endless tapestry of the past where women drowned,
now leading to the golden halls of my life,
inviting every fiber of the lost faith,
of lost passion to a cherry blossom's breath.
Dearest, when you hear roaring strings tapping my lyre,
know that in my delight, the chains of my soul is free,
The surface of my fresh fresco is emerging,
The edge of my past is shaken and scattered.
As the fluent, blurring figures of men and women pass alongside hallways,
I am awakening from the ancient curse which pierced
and penetrated my heart before Eros's arrows could be of any service.
Along cobblestone walkways, active figures of little children,
each has a secret that stirs in their limbs as they move
Out of the distance, nearer, demanding a safe place
where some innocence would be revived and restored.
Here in the subtle, rounded flesh
Beats within the intoxicating ecstasy!
In the sudden lifting my eyes,
The fascination of the quick,
I am the Creator moving through the mesh of life,
vibrating the fresco with apple green and rose magenta.
In this terrible ecstasy of the consciousness that I am life!
In this miracle of seraphic Matrix that I, the larva demands evolve!
Swelling mankind like a Dahlia bud to bring forth the fruit of a dream,
decorating white fairytales with the wings of perennial petals.
Oh the terror of lifting the innermost shadows,
as she stares at me shamelessly in awkward hours,
then I step out to embrace her,
and she, my eternal fair maiden,
breaking out the cocoon of this impulsive life,
And striving to catch a glimpse of the shape of our coming dream.
The new dream painted in beauty, beloved and soft-toned,
Alluring my eyes;
for I, am I not also the love-lorn nightingale,
Am I not quickening, diffusing myself in moonbeam's dallying regale,
blessed with the genius of Michelangelo,
carving and sharpening the ice marble,
until,
I'd set my angel free!
Thank you so much, Michele!💕
No, I haven’t had a chance to attempt the story writing… too many ballet classes to teach on Zoom, some dance research papers to write, and too much leisure time spent in ‘forest bathing’ recently😅
Nevertheless, I’m taking your lovely suggestion as my bright path down the road!🥳🥰
You are welcome sweet Annabel. You are busy doing wonderful and inspiring things. 🥰 Keep us the great work. When and if it feels right, I believe you would write beautiful prose. 💖 Enjoy your day!
Million thanks to your charming words, dear Michele!💕 I truly appreciate the encouragement, esp from such an experienced and published remarkable poetess like you🙏🥳
Your kind words alone made my day!🙏🥰 Bringing forth the unlived life into daylight and understanding the self is perhaps the greatest hidden hunger of mankind.
Many thanks for your support!🙏🥂
Can I just say what a relief to uncover someone who actually understands what they’re talking about on the internet. You definitely understand how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people really need to check this out and understand this side of the story. I can’t believe you’re not more popular because you surely possess the gift.
Having read this I thought it was very informative. I appreciate you finding the time and energy to put this content together. I once again find myself personally spending way too much time both reading and commenting. But so what, it was still worthwhile!
Iím impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog thatís both equally educative and amusing, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I stumbled across this in my hunt for something regarding this.
Right here is the perfect blog for everyone who would like to find out about this topic. You understand so much its almost tough to argue with you (not that I actually will need toÖHaHa). You definitely put a new spin on a subject that’s been discussed for years. Wonderful stuff, just excellent!
Reading your comments bring me joy to know that we are all in this life together and me writing out my story could help others with their journeys! Send much gratitude to you!
A fascinating discussion is definitely worth comment. I believe that you need to publish more about this subject matter, it may not be a taboo subject but typically folks don’t speak about these topics. To the next! All the best!!
Good post. I learn something totally new and challenging on websites I stumbleupon every day. It’s always exciting to read through articles from other authors and use something from other web sites.
Howdy! This article couldnít be written any better! Looking through this post reminds me of my previous roommate! He constantly kept talking about this. I will send this article to him. Pretty sure he will have a great read. Thank you for sharing!
