Black And White

Hands that dance

Over black and white

And a face

Reflecting peace

 

Clair de Lune

Fills the room

 

And we sit

Gobsmacked.

 

(Can you tell this is about you yet?)

 

You smile sweetly

And say

 

‘You should see the others...’

 

Fingers caressing

Black and white

 

(They must be out of this world)

I have no idea what this poem is about... but I like it. I like the claire de lune insertion and I like the inclusion of the parenthetical lines (though I don't know who 'you' is/are and I don't know what others are out of this world). I can only imagine... and that makes this decent poetry - gives me the choice to make of it what I would like it to be. And, if you've ever done anything with homolinguistic translation, here's what I'd like it to be:

O GENTLE MASSAGE

Run your fingers
over this page and that

Then smile
through moon-sparkles
in our night together

When I ask
how you like my poetry
you can raise your wineglass

Touch my lips with
your ink-marked fingers

And say I've seen better
but not on this side
of heaven

:-) :-)
