Poet Destroyer A Poet Ekphrasis

Notes About The Poem

• Two souls growing old
• Turning every color into gold 
• For all the days of their lives

• Laminated Love  After: Blue and Green Music - Georgia O'Keeffe 1921

Laminated Love

Frozen flames pressed between each sheet
I flip every page while taking notes
Censoring every event in my past 
I fall deep when staring at the painting on the wall	
Every blink feels the same when in love  
However, on this one night, I stumbled 
On a certain page, I found my heart beating twice
The roof at this moment allowed the moon to illuminate inside.	
A memory unfolded while I held your hand, 	
Repainting our years, a devoted love
At the heart of everything, I've forgotten this feeling
The canvas opens more than an old chapter
the beautiful canvas, tied by solid gold.
Flames brush every wall as we age as one	
In perfect harmony. TOGETHER 
Laminating our love forever

Vladislav Raven March 20, 2016 at 4:20 PM Hi Linda, this is one of those little gems that can so easily pass by unnoticed because of its complete simplicity. Simplistic in design and yet it says so much. Love can flow with each pass of your pen over the paper, painting your visions, forever to be laid bare before the reader. Need i say it is an excellent work? Indeed it is Linda. A definite seven from me and it goes into my faves,,,,Vlad.
