Skulls, Hearts, and Butterfly Kisses
by John Rockie Coppolella → (All Poetry by John Rockie Coppolella)

Midnight moonlight madness. Very surreal.

 

 
Non-Euclidean concepts of parallel lines,
Lewis Carroll called Euclid's line to chat,
Mathematical symbols, sorcerer's signs,
Jung's skull grinned like a Cheshire cat. 
 
 
Symbolic language of the fantastic,
 
Cat-faced speakers butcher diction,
 
Harbors of dark virgin alien fantasy,  
 
Knife-wielding poets murder fiction,
 
 
 
Read this poem with nebulous eyes,
 
Truth hidden to sway a porous mind,
 
Beautiful butterflies in colorful flights,
 
Leather and lace two hearts entwined.

I can picture an English teacher asking kids - Now what did the author mean by this? An unusual write, Rockie. Hugs,

The poet, like some Grand Priest of Incas fame, takes his poetic knife to extract a still beating heart as offer to a ghoulish Bard-god.

An interesting abstract compilation. The last line caused me some confusion in that it seemed to be a departure from the theme but I'm happy to admit this and accept that I don't need to 'understand' all that I read. Poetry is open to personal interpretation. You're obviously a very capable wordsmith and I look forward to reading more of your work.

So sorry to bother you, Rockie:
Columbus in Italian is Columbo.
England's John Cabot was Italian.
