When two souls are resting,

Transfixed, and eyed,

Intrigued by their primal instincts

With nothing to hide,

Why there is this fate?

Of transparent protection

When they have a nice date?

 

Now the question is;

“Could the bird know

That the glass would protect him”?

“And would the cat know,

He could not catch the bird”?

Or were they too mesmerized by each other?

And did not even thought

Of any human perceptions

Nor even of anyone to hurt?

 

Blockades of life, on the path of lust

Similarly, and  also in the animal world,

Not reaching really one another

And while the one and only beasts,

Made sand into glass,

And of trees some wood

For these two just rested nothing less

Than observation, instead of food...

You and Belle have good taste in music. As with your poetry they tend to illuminate and open a door in the mind. In regards to this poem you raise an interesting question. I think even the simplest of creatures are curious. And that the cat's curiosity overrides his instinct to kill here. Even if there were no glass. But maybe it is just what I want to believe :)

Thank you Bro, for this review, I guess you're right on that point, but we never know indeed how the cat shall react... this was beautiful :) Elisa

A beautiful poem dear friend, but all your poems are beautiful. And each night
I read your every letter as a solemn attestation of the truth or inviolability of
your words. I recieve your words as one might recieve an oath or a solemn
formal calling. You have a wonderful, poetic spirit...thanks again for sharing.

Ah dana, if there is anyone good on this site it is YOU dear.... wow, I feel so humbled, and honored by your words lovely, as I learn so much from you. Thanks for being so utterly transparent, and beautiful of your own talent... be back for you... always! xxx

What the mind ponders as we face something we so want to explore, yet find an obstacle in our way. It seems at times these obstacles are in a favored place and allow us just enough vision to think. And what of this cat and this bird...friends? Well anything is possible. Yet, instinct may carve a different set of initials in that tree but does that mean we should accept what is written...perhaps and perhaps not

Very nicely done and extremely thought provoking. Once again a charming and delicious poem from you.

Ah Jack thank you for spreading "YOUR" extreme good thoughts, on this. I so appreciate it. What is more beautiful than spreading thoughts, into thoughts, and philosophize about it.... :) happy you came by. - Elisa

This is a good poem and tells an intricate story about this picture. I like how you related it to human interaction. I thought it was about dating after reading the first stanza, then came to know you had more in store for us. I think the last line could have been a little better though, but thats just my opinion, which you might do well to ignore.

Thank you Deep, for your honesty on my poem, I truly appreciate that, I will give it thought... :) Happy you enjoyed this though. Have a good day, and I will be back for your art. Elisa.

i would also like to know what they are thinking...probably the same as we humans when we can't get to something or someone we crave.

Would it? it's interesting... thank you so much jacob.

Nicely done Sis!!...I devoured this piece...so much to think about! Truly touches on so many levels....
I wonder about these things, myself...does or will the curiosity kill in the end?
Is it the enemy/observer who has the advantage?...this is an intense view point of something mesmerizing...of a lethal attraction. Love this!~xo~

Ah thank you so much sis, yes, your review, speaks out loud... it is so interesting, isn't it? Maybe the bird is too smart for the cat, or what would really happen? thank you dearest for your wonderful imput here xxxxxx

[Robbie~xoxo~]

ahhhh Yes indeed!...intriguing thought my lovely sis! XXXXXX

Oh, I likey. Like an onion, with so many layers. Are we truly who we are, or are we just what we are expected to be. Or are the primal instincts our true selves and we only paint a picture of civility over it? Are we really any different from the cat or the bird? As you mentioned a date, isn't that our biggest facade? Being on our best behaviour, being polite and proper grown ups, when we would much rather eat ravenously by the campfire and playfully chase each other, laughing at this mating ritual we are all caught in? Or maybe it's just about a cat and a bird :-)

Yes, well said Lorry, indeed like an onion, with many layers, your review fits best with my thoughts I must say... We are all little animals, in our behaviour still a bit, and we aren't so much different indeed... thank you so much for these profound thoughts dear :) x

[Distant horizons]

Most welcome dear. ot so profound considering i'm a shrek ogre though :-)

I know you're lol... and you see things really clear :D

[Distant horizons]

Clear as the mud I bathe in :-)

What a question to ponder, what goes through the minds of these wild things as they sit there and wonder? Do they stare at the other feeling safe and curious, their instincts blocked by these walls of glass? And do they grasp that the glass itself is what keeps them as observers and not enemies? Would that all people have this wall of glass to observe each other through so that we could not make war and instead, only contemplate what it is to be the other...

Beautiful poem dear sister and I love the pic!

Aww love the picture. This poem can be about the bird and cat; or a man and a woman. Beautiful writing as always, Elisa. :D

:) Thank you dear Anna, yes, that could be, so great to have you around always... x
