Iolanda Scripca Poet Terza Rima

Farewell To the Unknown

As I lie still and wait my soul to rest
Unwelcome  darkness pulling down my eyelids
In double spaces, horizontal in my chest
A beating heart is melting sorrow's acids
Surrounded  by cocoons with handsome faces
As shadows on the walls paint tentacles of squids.

You tear the curtains quietly from spaces
I feel I've lost you when we have never met
The dance, the passion, lips and those caresses -
That Hurricane, that Heat, that Rain I won't forget..
A silent  movie and some shutters locked
Unwanted shelter  - I'll always regret...

                                       *
As I must die a while and go to unknown places
Farewell Immortal Love, I bow to you with graces...

John Rhinem May 28, 2010 at 2:05 AM Smile! "Yes," you are talented! I read this twice; switching back to the title for a bit of perhaps clarity and, I am not sure yet, this all seems as though liberating and uplifting towards the poetess' heart, life & soul? Either or, I love the abstact & metaphors within this wonderful poem dear! ~ "Exceptional Art" ~ Much Warmth To You & Your Loves, John! ~ Smile, "Bye":)

Dr.Ram Mehta May 27, 2010 at 8:46 PM It is quite deep in meaning and made me ponder over it for a long time to know the unknown. Good luck in the contest
