i'm
stilled
by pageantry
of glorious beauty-
perfect sky and words
smooth as velvet grapes-
you plumed & stained my nights
electric
blue but i
was deceived
by your ardent pleas-
your breath is steel cold
on my slim neck, strangling air
then
descent-
sharp blow-
blue amnesia-
slow keeling & fade
undressed & delirious- scattered
adrift in the sea
Great artwork indeed, and your verse gave it a life all it's own, as it undresses to the bone haha happy monday.

ReplyDeletestunning poem. didn't expect the poem to shape thus after the first stanza.loved it.
ReplyDeleteLovely poem Grace,
ReplyDeleteFor me, this was all about dementia ... the descent, the forgetting, the fade, adrift. Awesome write!
ReplyDeleteGrace this is gorgeous!! I love the contrasting emotions and images you employ. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI can see how this painting caused a stir with your muse. The one word I focused on was electric, and both the painting and the poem are exactly that. You chics rule!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness... this went from sensual and connected to a bit scary. Nice work.

ReplyDelete"blue amnesia-
ReplyDeleteslow keeling & fade"
the lift, the fall, the broken heart... whether in romance, the minds fantasies, or the weather... this is the tide that rolls over and over again... beautiful Grace.
This reminded me of the 'Amnesia' cocktail. Intoxicating.
ReplyDeleteI love the title, Stanza 2, the last two lines, and the visual presentation. Excellent.
ReplyDeleteYikes - this is actually kind of frightening to me. Well done, but really kind of scary. I can't help thinking of the pounce in a very ominous kind of way. The pleas--your works very well. k.
