Brian Strand Poet Ekphrasis

Art Ekphrasis 3-Klimt and Chagall-Recited

CHAGALL EKPHRASIS
A fantasist,alive upon canvas,surreal
and yet..so very real his love-for her-
not concealed.There..floating for all
to see..childlike, innocence his lady
in white,for us to wonder..and delight

Inspired by Chagall’s ‘Lady in White’
 
KLIMT EKPHRASIS
A kiss,Klimt’s symbol of love nouveau,
suggestive rather than descriptive,yet
of time immemorial.Love upon a cloud
of gold,lost in that moment where time
does not exist.One with the other,alone
and yet..desire..and need in love’s power
then to exist.

Inspired by Klimt’s ‘The Kiss’

Listen to me recite these ekphrasis on youtube under my pen name ichthyschiro

Cyndi Macmillan April 26, 2014 at 7:09 AM Brian, I am so glad I perused the new poems pages today. These are profoundly moving. Though I enjoyed both, I found Klimt's held me longer, as you captured the scene so perfectly. Thank you for sharing... you always shine. Smiles from Cyndi
