COLOURFUL LAMENT

COLOURFUL LAMENT

I combed cool waters of your 
baby blue crystalline Jewel as you 
waded waterfall waves washing 
my stellar rainbow rays 
Arching it melted into the warm 
womb of transducing tangoing Earth

Her Violet Flame devoured us both
as nectared dewdrops to fuel the fire
our soma swirling into ecstatic orange 
oxytocined crane flowers whispering 
wisdoms to a hundred yellow 
butterflies fluttering and flirting 

They circled a sunken Atlantean apex
atop where you ruled anew with 
Baconian brown locks surrounded by 
sirens serving savoury silver sardines 
oolite oyster shells sang solos as dolphins 
dived into divas oceanic mouthed 

In Ancient Egypt you followed my runcinate 
rulings or indigo sorrow siglums, sighing
becoming slimmed seeker who served 
Thoth well whilst wreathing my wounded
worthiness and fallow fallopian tubes 
at pyramidal plumed midnight hour

In our graped Grecian lifetime you draped 
alabaster urns lighting my marble mantelpiece 
I watched breath enter your nebulae nostrils
as you crafted provincial proverbs 
then instructed slaves to whiten your garb
with lemons from our sculpted garden

On lavender Celtic hills we exchanged kilts
not knowing whose waist was whose
barefoot our figs and flutes flaunted 
sleek sharp sapphire studded swords 
dancing the necessary wild wars 
rune stones becoming menhir mosaics

Who remembered and who forgot 
where in ether our nestling niche napped
as games of betrayal, fear or doubt 
doubled into involuting circles and spirals
each tried to neck THE VOID as naked
excuse for not excavating heaving Heart

How much escaping, escapades, 
evolutionary clocks cloak our cusps 
or cues or custard synchronicities 
how many summer summit starlings 
must seek to sing of sorrow or of 
wolves, withering willows, watermelons 
on this Planet of coloured curriculums
holding dear our distinctive designs 
where lacy lament is but 
another artful aperture into Space 

I seek not to know !

Its so good to see you post again dear talented soul, and you’ve done an excellent job here conveying your thoughts in such an exquisite manner with such creative metaphors and symbolism. I especially loved the lines “ In Ancient Egypt you followed my runcinate rulings..well whilst wreathing my wounded worthiness and pearly fallopian tubes “ just wow! The depth and how poignant it is! Truly left me in awe. I can feel this is about your inner soul and so much more. And i love the alliterations.

Your poem is a beautifully crafted exploration of interconnectedness, shared experiences across lifetimes, and the mysteries of existence. The use of vivid imagery, rich symbolism, and a reflective tone invites readers to embark on a contemplative journey through time and space, contemplating the enigmatic threads that connect us all... The final lines, expressing a desire not to know, leave the poem open-ended and contemplative... most profound..
