Notes About The Poem

Imaginations of Solitude

"Like the silence that screams, cursing solitude
... whispers of faith sing patiently with prayers"

                                              Regina McIntosh

IMAGINATIONS OF SOLITUDE

The scream, his palms unleashing Danse Macabre.
The sinister skeletons tapping digits
 against the ebon glow of candelabra.

The sinister skeletons tapping digits.
Ten bore into his human brain, the echoes
of full violin’s disquieted widgets.

Ten bore into his human brain. The echoes
releasing...releasing a wing and a pray’r -
elongated shadowbrush of El Greco.

Releasing...releasing a wing and a pray’r,
those fierce flexuous hues - the Spirit of grace.
The phantasm flees - a disturbed boneyard despairs.

Those fierce flexuous hues - the Spirit of grace.
His countenance resounding to see God’s face.

Victor Buhagiar January 28, 2021 at 11:18 AM Did you hear the scream? Visions come and go. Great poetry. ~~ Kim Rodrigues January 28, 2021 at 11:57 AM If you let the scream stay long it would drive you to insanity. Best to lean into God. Thanks, Victor!
