Tuesday, May 3

living room


Rain drops tapping on my window

As I look at your immutable

    framed smile

Why

Cannot meet mine...

And I fix my eyes

On the ceiling

Mislaid in then and now

Hey you,

   spider web…

Time to sigh,

   and smirk.

Brian Miller said...

nice. sublte...love the texture of details...the patter of the rain...the spider webs that cling in the corners that keep us...

GYPSYWOMAN said...

i am reminded here of sir walter scott's "what a tangled web we do weave when first we practice to deceive" - which seems to fit so perfectly your beautiful words here, lady!!!

Ah! Every girl, from Manilla to Moscow to Memphis must have a couch on which she lay in abstract musing of all things romantic.

And in the corner above is that web, to keep the ceiling from falling Ah! Love!

The final touch of your 'word-painting'... tapping music of those raindrops.

Ah! PEACE!

I've talked to a few cobwebs now and again. Can relate, Dulce. The patter of rain sets the scene well. Lovely write

those quiet moments deep inside the inside of your head
you capture them well

hedgewitch said...

"Mislaid in then and now...' I think I've been there. Nice weaving of the cobwebs, Dulce.

Leslie said...

"As I look at your immutable
framed smile"

Whoops, you made me look up and, darn, if I don't need to get at the corners tomorrow. Shame on me, I see a couple of cobwebs!!! As always, you write beautifully.

Dulce said...

....And a smile is not so hard to find afte reading such amazing comments, my dear friends...

Thank you so much... cobwebs... more than one.
Could use a broom... but then it'll come up again! So... I say > live and let live!

Bubba said...

I thought of something funny to say, but I'll refrain because this is kind of melancholy and I'd hate to ruin the mood.

Nice One Shot, Dulce!

Maude Lynn said...

"Mislaid in then and now..."

Marvelous line!

Kavita said...

When immersed in one's mesmerizing thoughts, even the mundane surroundings appear oh so romantic...
But really, waiting SUCKS!

It's all so well expressed here, Dulce.. whimsical and beautiful!!

These are the silent moments where... sometimes... we find a magic truth. I leave in silence, now...

Loved it, Dulce.

joanna said...

Sweet Dulce

Glorious gifted poet you are. Such sweet embrace of words in a mystical lyrical verse where our thoughts can drift to places of beauty and "live and let live." Your poetry is magical.

Dulce:

Such a common scene but extraordinarily crafted by your verse.

Calm and sober, what it is.

Joy always,
Susan

A Plain Observer said...

sometimes I don't get poetry, I must admit. I must read and re-read to get the meaning if I ever do. But there is such a good feeling I get in reading your verse even when my incompetence doesn't grasp the whole idea
