Six tulips

Beautiful lies in a look

Like smiling fire bombs

Stuck in my blue notebook

As I outline kismet’s palms.

 

The sky is bruising.

And this theory of a novel

Has become impossibly confusing

Yet cannot sway this lovely ravel

 

Of tangles words

Cause that’s the space between us

And so I wink, and The Wind nods -

no one distorts the truth like he does

 

Except the mind.

Aloha Ana, I really enjoyed this. I know I am quite under qualified to comment but it felt like everything can be dressed up made over with the right (or wrong) words, and knowingly we accept such things. I enjoyed the last two lines, honest and on point. Mahalo. Izzy

This was so awesome Ana, especially the opening stanza. The personification you deliver really brings the words alive.
p.s I love Portishead!

Beautiful artwork and amazing words. I liked how you twist them to meaningful thoughts. I liked the logical ending. Somethings we cannot control. Thank you Ana for sharing your amazing poetry.

Masterpiece of metaphors. Wonder write Ana. It's how deeply you look at the words and sing your songs with them that defines the melody of the poems. Here you bring greatness and touch of brilliance to capture words of deep meaning...

[Ana B.]

Thank you so much for the wonderful words :)

This was something that took me some time to wrap my head around. You write so intricate and beautifully sharp. To me, I think this is about caution driving you to despair. Great Poem!
