the darkness of black
defuses into grey and a ray
of light evinces from it which
then gives a nascence to
moments of joy and in their
gathering, happiness derives
this sometimes short lived when
then we realize our emotions are but
passions of the heart ascribed distant
from cerebral snotions warning
from cerebral snotions warning
of these moments do come at a price
if i could, i would make choices
where my thoughts to accommodate
a smile and my breath becoming
the oxygen of this happiness as
the warmth of the sun splays
fulfilling verve to my day
and so when i close my eyes
the darkness will be filled with
dreams of tenderness, a hand in
my hand walking along through
life's sojourn whilst underneath
my naked feet lay jagged stones
I especially love that love accompanied you through the jagged places, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous poem, Marcoantonio, the arc from sunrise to sunset and in between, the reflection on life. I often think about the connection between the head and the heart, with the goal of letting the heart lead the way for thought, instead of the other way around. In a poem of beautiful flowing phrases, my favorites: "in their/gatherings, happiness derives" and "that my breath/would send oxygen to joy" It's hard to separate them from the cohesive whole. Really nice work.
