Songs of Passion
I am an antique ivory, lined with mahogany,
filled with sundry shades of calm purple.
Cool to the touch.
I am always watching.
I am an antique ivory, lined with mahogany,
filled with sundry shades of calm purple.
Cool to the touch.
I am always watching.
No movement
is wasted;
perfect, calculated nature.
I am the sound of a spring tulip
blossoming into morning dew,
begging to scream at the dampening drops.
I release the naive, immature lemming within.
I would like to become a bird
changing with the clouds.
I will one day be heard.
The lyrics are composed,
not yet performed.
I am part of every heartbroken writer.
I am a sail boat,
always chasing the horizon.
Dipped in glistening water,
gliding through sparkles of the sea.
I am like the strings of a violin.
Strum me gently,
strum me with passion,
and I will fall in love
with your touch.

I am the sound of a spring tulip
blossoming into morning dew,
begging to scream at the dampening drops.

this is a really good poem. i like the way you wrote about the boat always chasing the horizon. you picked very good words through out the whole poem. i like the set-up of it all and it is just an overall good poem. good job jenny
ReplyDeleteThis is a really enjoyable poem :) I really feel like I can see and hear everything you are describing. I don't know you that well, but after reading this poem, I feel like I know a lot more about you. My favorite part is the part about the violin: I can see and hear the violin strongs being strummed. Good job! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the use of imagery, the last part of your poem is very good. The violin, softly heard, gently played, soothing sounds, it is all there. Very sensual, great job overall!
ReplyDeleteI really like your poem Jay. Because I know you I can see all these things and how they actually relate to you. I don't feel like it's just fancy writing, you thought about yourself and put it into a poem:)
