The painting is my own creation that I entitled 'The Lovers'

 

THE CRADLE OF SHAPE

Move profoundly into me
like an inspired thought.
Shift my sands
with your currents
that ebb and flow
with the power
to shape rock.
Sing with me
to the melody
of our beating hearts.
Hold me close
in the cradle
of your shape
- a shape
that fits like a piece
made for my shape alone.
Melt into me
like candle wax
under the flame
of our heat.
Know me...
Intimately
Inside and out.
Race with me
within the quickened
pulse of our blood
For we are
an intricate design
set in the frame
of our love.

© 2007 Chantal Niven

Yes, I am back thank you, Chanti . . . the poem is superb in its ritual telling of amor empowering and all-encompasing, just as your painting, which I understand completely, is saying the lovers meet the other in convuluted ecstasy . . . gotta love it . . .

The way you echo the roccoco forms of the painting in the shape of the poem is masterful. Bravo.

The first and last lines are so perfectly thought -- your language of love is original. And yet another serious writer who can do her own artwork. I will read more.

The poem moves like the two bodies it is a projection of; and it makes the act not just one of flesh but also of soul. I guess this is what "soulmate" means.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
