Best Marc Chagall Poems
Les Fiances ou Souvenir de Mille et une nuits, Marc Chagallthere is a never after
where words are lost
and colours fade
but perhaps we won't let go
in dreams and voices
there will be one more story from me
you'll be attentive
one last time
yet the...

Reading - Marc Chagall neural chaos looks like scratches
the casual bystander may step back in horror
fearing a deadlock standoff
unaware every angle works perfectly
no one dies
I'm so confident ~
I place the whole shebang next to glass
nothing shatters or splinters

Lovers Among Lilacs, Marc Chagallthough cut, nothing yet dies
life is full, fresh
enough to sustain weight
enough to envelope
as we deceive/discover ourselves
believe there is no drop
despite that, the moon falls
obscures, rolls into/out of orbit/view
becomes a part of me
lunar fascinate
as inexplicably you love me
I've stolen the gravity of the...

Le Cirque Bleu by Marc ChagallLe Cirque Bleu
The spotlight is aglow through the gloam
The light an indigo ink modifying color
She swings her body with agility thrusting backwards
upside down, with unseen wings,
an acrobat aerials amid the roar
She looks pretty with her fan in one hand,
long tresses flowing loosely ...

Reminiscence Marc ChagallI'm beside myself
In a haze that some call 'rose tinted'
In a phase that others call 'seeing red'
In the photographers dark room, just looking over everything, nothing yet developed fully
Too much is spoiling as light floods in
I wanted to have it all figured out
I wanted...

Riverside - Marc Chagall somewhere a thought is projected
dappling on all present
did it start inside my skull? I don't ask
but it bounces into a counter argument
tussles start
all completely invisible to the naked eye
are invisible things real? of course
get some music in to heighten the moment
no one...

Over the Town by Marc ChagallPeril looms yet the artist shows a relaxed state over the city.
Looked back from whence they came, escaping, unfollowed, over the city.
Solitude no more, she’s his prize to carry off over the city.

Marc Chagall - Au Village RougeLook at her again, being out of the ordinary
No one needs that, eyes down til it passes
You too, despite your centre stage position
You're looking to the heavens
But you have nothing to hold onto
That beast is just tolerating you as a burden
Anyone who saves...

Rest - Marc Chagall
Ever sunk so low that mellow hits
Your dreams cascade directly from the sky
Cavities of the underground cushion
The world splits into primary colours
Stretching of limbs a forever of blissful
Everything arches
Towns slink away to rest untroublingly elsewhere
The here and now evaporates
Becomes the inhalation
You breathe it...

Still Life by Marc Chagall
White is placed last, just as dark is first
It's vision through glass it is not a curse
Is there value in stillness? I'm glad you asked
Just as dark is first, white is placed last
Are the order of things both real and dreams?
The absolute rule is...
