I hold you in thought

Lorenz



I hold you in thought  as that star

which faded away in the winter night

I hold you in thought  as a  earth 

that offered its fruit in the guilty bliss 

of a fleeting moment of abandon...

we shared the forbidden  as if it were

a new blood  and delicious venom ...

 I hold you in thought ,

like a kind of geometric pattern 

imagined by a schizophrenic  impressionist ,

Unfinished landscapes sketched on a canvas 

haunted by Bohemian spirits .

  Sometimes, I catch your gaze  in a marble of flesh 

who's daydreaming over a mug of dashed hopes .

 I'd like to rush and say  :

'' Do you  remember the procession of lost illusions ? ''

    And you're off again like a well-kept  secret .

You had the colors of the clouds 

that only a madman can perceive ...

  In the great book of shadows  

that have regained their  angel wings ,

I seek your lingering echo ...

Birds fly across a tearful flemish sky ,

heralding your departure .

 I'll be late for our meeting ...

  time always clothes our thoughts 

in fragments of the past .

  With a surreal touch of amnesia...

    lovely flow to this piece

  • Ellen Marsell

    Memory is a constant artistic transformation of the past.
    A very delicate, melancholic, and surreal poem about memory.

    • Lorenz

      with a light touch of amnesia on the canvas ...

    • sorenbarrett

      An impressionist painting that verges on post modern. Nicely tinted with pastels

      • Lorenz

        a sort of post modern pataphysics !

      • Tristan Robert Lange

        What an extraordinary piece, Lorenz. Love and absence dissolve into a dreamlike gallery where remembrance keeps repainting what can no longer be reached. Lush, aching, and deeply haunting, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
