Extasis

And here it flows the unexpected

virtue of ignorance -

The perfect blight for the selected

marks of my importance.

 

I am a fraud, and well I know it

Yet greedily this beautiful drug

Will mockingly acquit

My mind’s bewildered epilogue.

 

And in my cemetery of splendor �"

I danced, I dreamed… I lived

And night has kissed me soft and tender

While the enemy of fate has agreed

 

To play me ‘’Reverie’’…

 

Author's Note

Extasis - latin for reverie.

[Dr. Wood ?]

Ah..all that is missing is a tune

[Ana B.]

The tune is in the author's note - Debussy _ Reverie. :)

[Dr. Wood ?]

ah, I was referring to it making great song lyrics with a tune of its own.....My fault

[Ana B.]

Oh, that's a lovely idea. I wish i would be adept at doing that...Thank you for stopping by :)

And in my cemetery of splendor "
I danced, I dreamed… I lived

This I was missing so much while out from here.
Perfect.
Thanks for sharing it.

[Ana B.]

Thank you my dear :)

[Writer at last! Sky ~]

Oh, I lost myself while reading your fabulous lines. And the Debussy in the Authors' note made me smile. My all time fav one.

[Ana B.]

Thank you very much :) Debussy is one of my favorites as well

[Writer at last! Sky ~]

Your most welcome Ana :)

[Alessander]

Gotta love Debussy and the impressionist painting complements it well.

The poem is very economical, in the true latin form, which reinforces the title and classical theme.

I like the rhymes too, uncommon and a mix of true and off.

[Cody Mitchell]

As they say, ignorance is bliss. Lovely poetry. Do you do any prose? I've never had much desire or enjoyment in poetry, but I am ecstatic about novel crafting.

[Ana B.]

I'm not that crafted in the prose department, but i'm in the process, thanks for stopping by Cody.

[Cody Mitchell]

No problem.

[Tony Jordan]

Be it a cemetery or palace - as long as it it splendiferous its good.
And is splendorous because we bring ourselves to it. Life (and Death) is what you make of it.

[Ana B.]

Wisely said. Thank you for reading it, Tony :)

[Tony Jordan]

Welcome Ana.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

gracefully expelled from your pen, my friend.

the writing is the drug...the drug keeps us dancing...even after the music stops.

[Ana B.]

Thank you for always catching a breath in my world, my dear friend.

[Wondering Mind]

I wonder if it is addiction or indulgence (drug vs mercy)- but I have a wondering mind.
Loved the poetic ecstasy

[Ana B.]

haha, there is little difference between the two, well if you eliminate the chemical trace :) thank you for stopping by Wondering Mind.
