Love in the Light of Cinema Screen

Not quite finished yet, but I thought I'd treat you all anyway!

 

The old cinema hums with

Salted air, the scent of home

And belonging. A shard of memory

In a turbulent world.

 

Life gently rolls through a

Rose-tinted lens, spooling out

Humble histories, an age of

Affection and quaint charm.

 

The sign hangs chipped

The watermark of antique

Appeal. Weathered by the rain

It battles the disease of age.

 

In the supple moonlight of

The flicker of glowing screen

Two lovers immerse, absorbed

By mellow cinematic glimmers.

 

Their lives reeling out romance

and hypnotised by diamond pixels

They marvel upon distant worlds

Where reality is impossible.

I love this. Magnificent!

[Nikki Hughes]

Beautifully made, it's a masterpiece. I love it!:)

[Hadeel ( Charming Fairy..]

Beautiful , i wish that reality would be possible :)

[David Scott]

The last line nailed it down! I love it when that happens. "Where reality is impossible" Could this possibly explain screw things? Hmmm. I think so.

Lewis,

You have nearly perfected a nostalgic media poem. I was totally captivated.

While I love all of it, my favorite stanza is:

"In the supple moonlight of
The flicker of glowing screen
Two lovers immersed, absorbed
By mellow cinematic glimmers.

The only line that I don't relate to is:
"Where reality is impossible." For me, the word "impossible" creates a negative connotation in my mind unrelated to the theme of your poem. However, it should be as you like it.

Thank you for sharing this delightful and well composed poem.

This makes me think of a romance from an old movie, with jazzy background. This is the best place to be - emotionally - in love, blind, naive, but so damn happy kissing that one special person in the dark, the movie long forgotten and the popcorn all over the floor. Thank you for sharing, this is a lovely piece.

this reminds me of watching a midnight movie in our old theater in carbondale...when it was just one theater with a balcony...and we kissed by the light of the screen during the pregnant pauses of the movie we were watching.

thanks for the memories.
