Melancholic realm

Lorenz

I became a poet to escape life .

But inanimate presences remind you...

 ---------------------------

In Saturn's rings ,

all the atist 's follies  come to die,

cloacked in  solar mourning .

As the clock strikes midnight ,

pumpkin turning back into a coffin ...

 Deflowered princesses ,

come to beg for forgiveness...

 This Barbie doll  has my mother's cold eyes.

Should I be reborn in the abstract confinement

of your  open tomb ?

  We must learn to live with those 

who will not return ...

  Just like the memory 

that you keep  feeding out of habbit.

  '' See you moon ! '' 

In your shameful flights

you take the unfinished harvests .

 I only know your mermaid  name, 

female that keeps me trapped 

inside an unstable space-time ...

 Versatile poet wandering 

through the melancholic realm of Saturn's rings...

    Cinderella burned and turned to cinders put in the coffin coach and would reawaken after midnight. Oh yes she wore one of those Saturn rings.

      Some presences now belong to our inner world...

        Oblivion itself is a haunting presence ...

      • Sealgair

        Saturn does not bring the past back. It merely keeps circling around it.

        Always an enjoyable read.

          Saturn's rings possess the icy beauty of an absence that spins endlessly ...

          Lorenz, what a haunting journey through grief and memory. The cosmic, fairy-tale, and domestic images merge into a realm where absence distorts everything it touches. This stayed with me, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

            Saturn's rings hold the memory of what remains unfulfilled ,which goes round and round ...
