Glass Harmonica

I dreamed
and maybe you saw
the colors in my dream;
luxuriant gardens of why,
scented bath with precious oils
from a distant country,
the impression, the question of how
and I’m amazed
at all the things that you saw,
the atmospheres that lived
on my sleepy skin,
you felt.

…And respect

pure and multifaceted
- a physical presence in a world of sorrow -
appeared between us:
a hyphen
between your absence
and my presence.

Finger rubbed
on a crystallophone:
notes from a rare instrument,
titillating reverie
and tinkling smiles…

Then,
while I dreamed,
with respect
you left, yet
even from that little distance
I felt protected,
while you collected,
drop after drop,
the hopeful message
in my forgotten dream.

This poem, in my opinion, is an invitation,whereby "me the reader," becomes "me the viewer." Welcomed in, and allowed to sit and watch the power in the memoried exchange between the two people therein, simply, satisfying and sensing.

Axilea,
Such a feeling of tranquility in your words. Soothing, yet adventurous. Like many of our dreams can be. I love the title of this piece, too. Happy Easter:)

Your style of writing my friend, behooves me
I am stunned by the soft grace of your pen, as your words form...
A glass harmonica is fragile
and your poem is magical and soft-feeling, as read and written!
Loved it - goes into my Axilea, folder to read over...

WRITE ON!

This has the hazy quality of a dream, yet the hint of the clear perceptions and clarity that come through those same dreams

Reviewed by Charlie 3/23/2009
This has a very soft-fuzzy quality to it that somehow contrasts with the title.

The title conjures up something clear, vibrant, magical and somehow solid, though other-worldly.

But in the end it all comes together-- it's not the tool itself, but the music made by it--intangible, pervasive, elegant, and yet wistful.

Perhaps the reciever of the poem was able to catch the melody and tuck it away in a box, to be revisited each time the box is opened. --Charlie

Excellent and very precious.

Interestingly expressed thoughts Axilea...dreams can keep one within that bubble of security and yet when one visualizes the encounters within and then find questions of how and why as though a realty of a world that can make for the most mystical of events....there is that within your lines of thought, a place where one can hide, find, or just enjoy the presence of an escape...

nice work...

Axilea, you have written this so beautifully...so softly... from the title to your very last line. I think this is my new favorite of yours...but then, there are so many. Another one for my library.

Gripped my heart and soul from the beginning, Axilea M. The title, exquisite, the progression, inevitable, the ending? -maybe semi-divine?- In completion, both sorrowful and hopeful, with a melancholy I understand.

Thank you, Axilea, for allowing me to participate in this
so personal and tastefully rendered dream, for a brief moment,
to lose myself in the color, sound, and feel manifested in the
beauty and skill in which you craft this most intriguing work
of art. A marvelous title. -gene.

Reviewed by Gianetta Ellis 3/16/2009
This is soft, delicate and very intriguing. I love the tone you set with your first two lines. I have been working on a poem about consciously dreaming - consciously inviting someone in. So, it's especially poignant for me to discover this beautiful composition here this morning. I find this to be one of your more "accessible" poems and it is my favorite of yours to date.

Axilea,

Glass harmonica - such a fragile thing! Such a beautiful image you pen - undone by the wonder of you. Well done!

Reviewed by John Flanagan 3/16/2009
Axilea,
This has the mood of music heard in another room, one of my favourite sensations, a mood that blends realities, projections, separations and desires and above all sensuality, the drops of oil, the "Finger rubbed"; full of dark passions in the world of half-dream and waking.
John
