Listen to poem:

Captured sensitivity in an orb of solarity are these hours not what we live for? we feel the sum of all things held delicately ~ touch exquisite causing every inch to tingle I love the days when you raise my gaze feeling wanted radiating til I become the rays I, the essence of the flower you, the embodiment of the sun ~ to drink you in is to flourish carry me away ~ I'm the intoxicated one I'll let no blues burst this bubble this painted backdrop a gift of a moment in time it is all and everything I desire I am nothing if not wholly invested in you my love my fire

- Marc Chagall was a wonderful artist... truly "a gift of a moment in time", D.D. - I paint a little myself... and love his use of color :) - hugs

Thank you Anne-Lise. Sometimes I'm utterly immersed in the colour choices. I've love to see his stained glass windows, I can't imagine how stunning that would be!

An exquisite poem, beautifully crafted and carrying so much feeling...you have captured the essence of Chagall. The poem echoed through memories of my teenage years when I was under the spell of Chagall, warm nights afloat on dreams and perfume. The power of poetry ! Please ...more chocolate DD...

Haha thanks Paul! I love when a Chagall painting I haven't encountered pops up unexpectedly. This was just so pretty I felt I needed to step right into the romance of it all :) my chocolate supplies are running low, I'm close to eating then replacing the children's supply :)

I try not saying wow in comments nowadays, but this, truly gives that, wow effect! And i absolutely love the romance and emotions flowing throughout! My fave lines in this are "I, the essence of the flower, You, the embodiment of the sun ~ I drink you in and flourish. Float me away with you ~" the kind of lines i wish i came up with! Especially " i drink you" gives an intense touch to the poem! This is beyond impeccable! Another fave for me! This artist sure has some amazing art! FAVE!

Haha you've spoiled me rotten today - I'll be insufferable if I go and have a conversation and the other party doesn't state I've just said something amazing that should be framed lol. This painting is so pretty and I kind of wished I did talk about colour as there is depth here that I felt I didn't explore. Thank you (the poem was written under the influence of a free chocolate bar haha)

I love Chagall, and I love your poem reflecting on this art piece by Chagall. Thank you. You made me smile today. My favorite lines: I love the days/When you raise my gaze.

Thank you so much! I've written poems inspired by Chagall several times. His use of colour is phenomenal. I appreciate your comment and welcome to Poetry Soup (the poem has been updated since you commented)
