Velvet curtains and dust...

soliloquy

love or carnal lust... 

a stage of forbidden drama

velvet curtains and dust

bitter smoked fresnel lenses

forsaken sheet music lay on the floor

empty gilded box seats above

glowing spectacle no more

awaiting the writer

lost to his quill and flame

scribbling with ink stained nails

soaking parchment insane

in love with his blessed muse 

he so jaded free

with his passion infused

soliloquy...

I think soliloquy, when done properly, can be such an amazing piece of art, I would love to hear you read your poems, I think we are all in love with our muses, else why write at all? It's the same difference between jingles and operas, oh hell what do I think? I think you're brilliant.

This one built up momentum along the way, adore that third stanza.

[Poetry Road]

I absolutely love this. Perfection.

[Bright Ocean Star]

Rossen, this one reminds me of the movie Amadeus. A frantic genius with a quill who can't sleep for the sake of writing his masterpieces....Very nice!

[Bright Ocean Star]

amazing! You are a master of few words, yet they strike deep. Thank you, Rossen, for letting us into the genius that is your mind. 100/100

What do I think? Smiles...I think - no, know - that this moved me, deeply :) Absolutely stunning hon x

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i think it is a bit of both...carnal lust but also love for the words, that make us keep the play running throughout our lives...as we act out being the poets.
love the title and "soaking parchment insane"

we do do that also...the tortured artists that we are.
