all movements sweep perpetual motion the moon swims towards me, then away we orbit this moment, nearer collision the caress something to chase yet she slips from my grasp time runs in reverse tantalised by the beginning tormented by the end allow me to linger to live in the in-between not knowing if you approach the beginning or the end both beautiful in their own heart wrenching way the lateness of the hour makes my mind whirr confusion overtakes any reality I succumb to dreams my waking hour steadily approaching so real is she, tangible taken into the blue I commit to search the sea and the sky tomorrow so many flowers upon or beneath them she rests outside my dreams out of reach Brian Strand Contest 1st Place

Thanks SV - this one really reignited my love of ekphrasis, they are such a joy to do. Like reading a good book, very quickly :)

I could follow you around a gallery all day Seeing through your eye .

I don't consider myself any kind of art expert Vickey, I'm just learning as I go. It's only since I started writing poetry in December that I had any opinions on art really x

I like your interpretation D. For some reason I always thought she was lying in an open coffin and he was caressing her with a dove as a symbol of eternal peace in or around the church. Reading your wonderful descriptive poem, it makes much more sense. You are so good at these Ekphratic poems. Well done. Entertainment and education all in one with your beautiful poem. Cheers

The description I found suggested the tango but I thought a coffin too (which is what the lay upon or beneath flowers is about). I've gone cockerel (rather than dove) for waking as they are together only briefly in dreams. I think you'd have a talent for ekphrasis - you are very story driven with your poetry x

An interesting painting and poem alike, both do feel like the in between as you say, beautifully done, allow me to linger, excellent pause

Well I discovered this one about 10:30pm, with an entire interpretation below it, yeah it really is the stuff of dreams, not like Dali’s, (spectre of sex appeal), lol!

David Kavanagh

You should be ok, it’s an absolute masterpiece, that’s Dali as a kid standing beside the spectre, it’s brilliant isn’t it!

I'd be less likely to linger in the caress or indeed agree in the first place - if this haunts my dreams you're in trouble! :)

A mishmash of conscious and subconscious thoughts Dilly, you interpret this incredible picture so well, it really is a head bender, but you seem to have straightened it out for this reader, cheers David

I literally discovered the painting at 9pm and was totally taken in. It's so beautiful. I have a new respect for the colour blue :)

I can feel Marc Chagall talking to you through a passage of blue. You captured a lover's embrace as only a lover may know knowing we must wake from our dreams. Such is the seed for the next poem's reach. Bravo.

Thank you, I can't imagine the power of these colours in reality. Even via a screen there's a breath taking beauty to the blue and the movement. Thank you for your very kind words and the treat of a 'bravo' :)
