Bed of tulips

inspired by the amazing music of Agnes Obel

Gaze hovering over the drops

Stuck on the running cities’ windows…

With a heart that’s willing to stop

At the dawn that peacefully tiptoes

 

Haunting this island that I chose - 

My incarnation of loneliness…

Aiding my soul that’s already morose

Perfect for every last one of us, utopians…

 

Yet, this wild velvet…

There’s something about its caress

Making feeble this revetment

And I’ve begun to obsess

Over caramel nights,

Over a piercing stare,

Over the silent replies

And midnight hands in my hair…

 

Yet who knows, maybe for a romantic heart

The silence is lying.

You are very creative when it comes to writing. You show a polished style to your poetry. The singer sounds exactly like someone else I've heard but I can't remember her name. There are so many sound-alikes these days.

Nice. I like the 4, 8 , 2 stanzas. The repetitive use of "over" in the 8 line stanza was well used and was like a drum roll. Boom badda boom, badda boom, etc. It has a nice sound when read aloud. As far as content; you have a beautiful way of describing melancholic desire, which was nicely expressed in the last two lines. CD

Thank you very much CD

...and yet maybe it's not...

The music isn't haunting... it's holding.

[Ana B.]

perhaps that is true, yet if one let himself captive by the silence, who knows what scenarios will play in one's mind...

It is the seasons of tulips bloom
and its stunning
Well
A heart of pure romance
Sits in silence
and sees this world
of complete relinquished beauty
never ending

all in a silent moment

this is quite a piece

[Ana B.]

Photo, song and words. Amazing.
"Yet, this wild velvet…

The above lines are classic. Thank you Ana for sharing the amazing poetry.
