Metamorphose Cine
Memory jog…how synchronal...
Was it the timeliness of this revisit?
Cinematic scenario scrambling to the screen
Of what was or might have been.
Recalling that initial view, as I sat,
Transfixed in the chilled captivation of
Theatric darkness,
Seduced by the plasmatic punch…
Witness to a screenplay,
Seemingly trivial
Yet so perceptibly profound
That emotion smothered…choked... as
I viewed, in empathy, that romance on the screen…
Openly weeping,
Searching…questioning…dazed…
Mourning the essence of time and love lost.
Memories rekindled against the flicker
of personal rip-rap…
Spirit vulnerable.
Yet now…..a year beyond,
I find myself unwittingly
Retracing this momentary matinee,
Discovering a second serving of relevance
Cast by unexpected replay…
Delectable now, as life’s reel,
In dramatic déjà vu,
Rewrites the scenes.
I, consciously aware,
Welcome the certainty of
What once seemed only a dream,
So penetrating, so extraordinary…
Promising a hope
Destined to find me alive as if on that screen
In vivid metamorphosis,
Elated…confident…serene…
Birthing a sensual baptism
Of self and spirit in balance.
I embrace the rarity of this
Divine persuasion… a promise
Witnessed as life and imagination
Serendipitously imitate
Love’s visually sensitive display
In a magnificent twist
Of fantastic premonition.
Let kismet be the elative precursor
Of emotion’s undeniable premier.

Good to read you again. I wonder if I would view "Gone with the wind the same way I did, for 4 hours last time LOL. Somehow doubt it, and besides, it would have to be on a comfortable lounge chair now.
Hugs to you Taylor

Of emotion’s undeniable premier." I was drawn into the scene...perhaps I was viewing the same old movie you were, Taylor. The romance in this write, the spectrum of emotion, the introspection...all moved me. Absolutely gorgeous poetry. Lydi**

"I, consciously aware,
Welcome the certainty of
What once seemed only a dream,"
Follow that certainty, born from cinematic dream, and know that in the now of today, it is real. This is a strong introspective piece which draws the reader into the mind and heart of the inspired poet -a very lovely offering here, Taylor.
