histoires d'amour

happy valentine's day, writer's cafe!

artwork y konstantin razumo

an alphabet of stealthy references

some powerful and some vague

quietly tiptoes ‘neath my fingertips

creating histoires d'amour

 

unbridled joy cascades upward

landing on the keyboard of glorious emotions

‘tis there a filigreed empyrean expands before me

as new phrases define desire

 

oui, mon amour

repeatedly you caress my world

each time with a new cadence

proving true love stories never have endings

 

 

 

 

histoires d'amour = stories of love

Very true indeed, true love stories never have endings. The words are just as beautiful as the that feeling love that made them land on the keyboard.
This is very very fine poetry by a very fine poetess.
I read and read and got mesmerised by the beauty of this write.
Thank you Lydia for this craft.

The love of Love is only matched in this by the love of the written word.
A gorgeously fitting gift to us all.

You're always welcome my friend - and thank you for introducing me to this artist - his work is very sensual.

[Lydia Shutter]

I love browsing through artwork.

Lydia you'll think me such a fool but I have fallen in love with the paintings of an American artist - Duane Bryers - who painted a fictional woman who got into all kinds of scrapes - she was like a risque Lucille Ball and adorned many calendars from the 50s onwards. I have been watching the auctions and hope one day to have an original.
He also painted some truly poignant American pioneering/cowboy scenes which I love too.

Oh, I don't think you are a fool at all. I have used Duane Bryers work to go with my words in the past. His Rubenesque women are adorable. I don't care for cowboy paintings, but I am sure his work is always worth looking at!

Something about the french language and love.
Wonder if they go together. Do they.

[Lydia Shutter]

Mais oui! :) Thanks for stopping by, Paul. Lydi**
