Calla

Calla lends herself to lyric,

Flowing lines sync; visual rhyme.

You and me, our whining’s, not so much.

 

She exist in pastel syllables,

Cello bliss, dabs from the sacred palette;

Copyrighted; forbidden to us, by ourselves.

 

Deprived, we paint only you and me:

Gray lamentations, stark primary tints;

Decrying fate in strident sketches

 

Of perceived losses and longings.

Satiation, our illusive deity;

Calla, complete, an ignored embrace.

    Lovely. You’ve captured this well, Leo, and it’s one of those poems that the more I read it, the more I like it. Great to see some work from you again!

      Hi, Anne! Thanks for reading. Hope your doing well and writing. Like you, I’ve been “laying low” blogging wise, taking a look at where I’ve been and where I want to go, poetry wise. As if we really had that choice to make I do what I am told to do by that old muse lady who can at times be cruel! Leo
