Ah, to be swept away by a tidal wave of inspiration!
To be stormed by a sea of words
awash with thoughts
deluged in drama.
Torrents of imagination
pouring forth
as waterfalls
spilling dreams
drowning in windblown stormy scenes
spinning lovers'
tempestuous fascinations
fighting hazards challenge fraught.
Oh where, oh where, is the poetry in me?
*
I wish!
I dream.
I recall...
*
Pyramis and Thisbe
Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty
Romeo and Juliet
Tristan and Isolde
My own regret
love ballads unsung
love scenes remembered
secrets untold.
*
Once upon a while
she was mad for one
who made her swoon.
They sank in surrender
under sultry moon
carried away, in passion undone.
What would become of them
under daylight’s unforgiving sun?
Their feelings unbidden
belonging different worlds, religions
unbecoming, romantics far-flung.
Liaisons hidden till parted forever
union forbidden
she pledged to another
hopes banished,
but forgotten, never.
A glimpse of reminiscence from the “sex and sand” genre...
Would that I could tap the romantic soul in me...
Congratulations, Helga, on another wonderful write.
Your work is like the feminine, yin-like aspect of a force of nature: soft as a butterfly, unpredictable of topic but often evoking special feelings and archetypical memories in me like all the times I was in a good mood and suddenly noticed the excitement in the air just before a summer rain.
