Intrinsical Abandon

Chimera of visual candy and sounds. I twirl my poetic skirt — the Magyar gypsy in me abandons time and space — the earth is mine — to mold, create as my God whispers splendiferous life, the ways of this sphere and paradise.

vainglorious words
floating in the atmosphere
i pop their bubbles

I free myself, listen to the critiques and adulation, twisted into the audience’s imagination. We collaborate in thunderstorms. I’m not a rock or an island but a diamond in the rough. Polish my adjectives and verbs. Resound the earthquake in my soul. Embellish my nouns and stamp on my heart. 

the dew of my breath
joined with the peppermint wind
— rhapsodic rejoice

The world twirls in party spin until I’m dizzy and giddy. Our hands clasped - with centrifugal force — we go round and round. I capture in my mind’s eye the nuances of the ride. Fish fly and birds swim. Babies grow up and adults hush.

the cup and saucer
teatime passes by quickly
— porcelain shatters

Until my dying day, I will treasure this merry-go-round parade. My earrings dangle, my pearls midair, the embers of my hair, heels kicked up in lusty dust, doves cooing, ravens cawing. There’s always more to say.

skirt with pressed wrinkles
the restless iron suppressed
— abandon my death

This is technically, poetically and metaphorically beautiful, Kim. I can feel the natural flow of your words, even though you put much thought into it...one of your best offerings, in my humble opinion! Regards // paul
