"Snare of Love"

It was life

I held in my hands,

and life would dance,

and life would dance.

Marionette of the gods,

I played the world

into creation.

Then you came

with your black black eyes.

You wrote new songs,

deep metal,

delving past the

four elemental strings

into realms unknown.

My music, my soul, my creation

followed you,

dancing your dark symphony,

dancing into the earth,

driving with force,

boiling lifeblood to the surface,

staining the ocean

with rhapsodic tears.

And then at the core,

the fire,

strings consumed

and you were not there

to heal,

to sing a new song

of becoming.

I am but

the instrument.

I cannot create

alone.

  1. we really all create with each other

    like breathes back to the wind.

    they both eventually know what to do.

    -----------------------

    here, this is also what i mean:

    play me concert piano

    glide me violin

    play me super drumset

    we are surely kin!

    your poem is true, Eva

    as the heart demands alot.


  2. Scintillating. I love it. It is an onslaught shifter. Whinging in the swoop

  3. Did you know that, until the 20th Century, there was no Japanese word for alone? They had never known it.  

  4. Yes, because love can be anything you let it be, or want it to be. Love has many disguises. It can be conditional or unconditional as well.  

  5. that is absolutely beautiful. i love it! did u write that?  and to answer ur wuestion i think yes. i think that sometimes you think u love someone but it is not really love at all, just illusionary. really you have someone out there for u but not that person.

  6.     I get tired of telling you how superb your craft is, so I won't tell you that - once again this - simply perfect. [Mentioning something by means of saying you won't mention it, is a time-honored rhetorical device. The Greeks had a word for it. Do you know what that is?] What I really love about the poem is that it shows that you have moved away from the existential stance of being the victim or the passive one who is dependent on the other's behavior for being happy, and moved toward the viewpoint that a successful relationship is interdependent. [I won't tell you how happy this makes me feel.]

         Nice avatar, btw.

  7. The mirror never lies, if we look deeply. Sharing keeps love alive.

    Lovely poem as always.
