Unfinished watercolor

Lorenz

At the dawn of a watercolor 

where a landscape begins...

Flower still wet of midnight.

Eyes in the clouds 

of an orange flavored day .

At sunrise of a long beach 

soothed by kisses .

Soveted by the deceptive sweetness

of the flow ...

Where everything exudes 

the early instant innocence .

Languid island ,presence 

where the scent of coconut skins

and salty trade winds ,

floats in the air misty with desire .

   unfinished ...

At the zenith of shameless

solar glory and fury 

which plays with shadow and light ,

a migratory birds fly 

by violence of  senses ,

and rebirth ...

Deep blue ink that inspires

melody of soul and fulness...

Hours with a hint of storm .

Melancholy that gives 

a taste of nostalgia  to passions,

that tide carries away 

somewhere beyond  the ripple...

 Would a tear -stained smile 

be enough to keep the thread 

from breaking ?

 Unfinished ...

 Rusty ochre twilight ,

the star of the sleepness night,

gently erases the vow  that the wave

carry out to the open sea .

 vessel bound for shipwreck ,

message in a bottle .

 Old rag time so bitter ...

 Is a voice and an outstreched hand 

over the abyss ,

to leave one's mark on life ?

 Or the sad gaze of an old dog 

that we didn't how to love ?

  Unfinished watercolor ...

    Images pour out of this poem in a smorgasbord of flavors running down the sides as syrups on an ice-cream parfait. Delightful and delicious.

      Jäg kenner inte riktig till den Svensk delikatesserna !

    • Ellen Marsell

      This poem is about the attempt to hold on to a moment that, by its very nature, cannot be held. In its "unfinished" form lies its wholeness - just as in music, sometimes the pause sounds louder than the note itself.

      • Lorenz

        ''' The pause sounds louder than the note itself !'' Every composer's dream ! I love it !

      • Sealgair

        Within this "unfinishedness" lies a simple truth: life is beautiful because it is never complete, always leaving space for another brushstroke, another feeling, another meaning.

        Impressive!

        • Lorenz

          Even in icompleteness lies fulfilment - That of a heart that dares to express itself in metaphors .

        • Priya Tomar

          Again a lyrical piece carrying deep meaning.
          Enjoyable read.

          • Lorenz

            A painting always started .never finished.
            Watercolor on a daily canvas space .
