Shadow Dance

Neville

Shadow Dance

 

Even though clearly we

don’t have

enough ink between

the two of us ..

Can you imagine for

a moment

the dance our tattoo’s

might have made,

as we make love with

the sun pinned

to the turquoise sky,

somewhere behind us ..

And can you,

envisage the dark 

of our silhouette’s ..

As they cast freely their

individual shadows

and every single one

of them, is laughing out loud ..

              Your words describe an artful beauty of unity. Quite visual and simply lovely.

                Thank you Michael .. very much appreciated sir .. Neville

                This has the aesthetic of a Georges Méliès movie-I specially was enchanted by the ‘sun pinned on the turquoise sky’ -the implicit meaning of sharing ink in (tattoos)-very imaginative and impressive, this one, Neville

                • Neville



                  Your insight could be the death of me yet .. many serious thank you's Parisab .. Neville

                  • Parisab

                    LOL-‘Long live sir Neville’, I cheer!

                    So, laughing tatoos is a creative image, as is this entire poem. Just think of the possibilities if we could animate our tatoos. A great whimsical read for me today. Thanks - Phil A.

                      no tattoos or piercings yet for me
                      but when 'she' arrives
                      she can ink me like a blank canvas..
                      in hope we entrust
                      dear Poet supreme
                      (a most soothing read)

                      • Neville



                        .. your words above read like the application of a soothing balm .. mid storm, before the calm .. and muchly needed .. thank you
