[hometext] => My first Sestina. It's a bit rough, and needs some cleaning up, but I hope you can still enjoy it. tell me what you think. Thanks. Abraham
[bodytext] => Of the contours of my heart No foreign vessels assail the bulwarks No tender airs sweep through the atria The songs of love play for the settling dust To echo the inclement howl of fear That mocks the simple treasures locked inside Open flesh and look inside See the inculpable, corpulent heart See the open cavity, free of fear See the debris of primordial bulwarks Broken by time, the memory of dust Left at the collapse of the atria For how gorged the atria With pain and pleasure that they burst inside! Desire and lust, through the shadows and dust Of ancient treasures, inundate the heart So that no armaments, moats, or bulwarks Might stand against the encompassing fear What light might break through that fear? Sweet waters spilling from the atria A tender drum to brace the bulwarks To nurture the seed growing deep inside To spring from the dark desires of the heart Moonlight in the garden, a settling dust In time, we all drink of dust We all lie breathless, dying, and in fear Fallen in the final cleft of the heart Awaiting the fall of the atria The blood-letting of all the grief inside That constantly beats against the bulwarks I hide behind those bulwarks And tremble at the tumbling of dust For beyond the darkness; what lay inside, Entreats the machinations of my fear And reverberates through the atria To taper the shuddering of my heart The bulwarks fall, and in their stead comes fear The dust of love stills in the atria The song inside, the triumph of the heart [comments] => 1 [counter] => 118 [topic] => 73 [informant] => iodinelove [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => abstract )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
