Chimerical


A longing within the deepest of skin

Flows like a heedless stream

For there we were, distant but sure

That all was like a waking dream

 

I gazed in eyes that analyzed

Processing what I contained

I left a gift within a rift

You flourished in what remained

 

How could it be that inside of me

A mystery is left to explore

‘Twas all unknown what I was shown

Yet could swear I have known before

 

Spiraling gently through passion you lent me

I am consumed by a fire

Heart in hand, here I stand

Frozen in the wake of desire

 

Casting a web in midnight ebb

Ensnared in a huntress’s trap

To be devoured, to be empowered

As the strings which hold me snap

 

Beyond the cells where beauty dwells

An intimate moment lingers

Suspended in air by thoughts we share

It settles upon my fingers

 

A kindling spark from a luminous park

I send my love to the moon

So that all may see my reverie

In the smile where I swoon

 

I rubbed my eyes in welcome surprise

And gave myself to the night

Floating through clouds, swimming through crowds

I sprouted wings in flight

 

Touched am I by immortal sky

Rouge embers in the dark

I shall enhance a minute’s chance

A chimerical moment in a park

 

Softly descending a moment’s ending

I release myself to the infinite

Always connected, by love directed

Always existing within it

Sparkle Poetess

Love is the essence of pure thought. There is nowhere that this thought is not. I grew up in a small town in Oklahoma, just beyond the outskirts of several gypsum plateaus and miles of sand. Words have always been my primary way to sort out my experiences into streams of consciousness that act as a form of self-discovery. After acquiring a degree in English, I relocated to the Catskills in order to follow my passions. The creative journey is unfolding before me and hope to help and inspire others through poetry and art. I have worked for a few years in a creative community called "Inspire Art" (a global community created by musician Sarah Fimm as a call to dreamers, thinkers, poets, artists, musicians, scientists and anyone that wants to use their talents for artistic, collaborative projects spanning various causes) and am focusing on expanding the boundaries of all I thought was possible to accomplish. With experience as an assistant director, I have since been working on projects that incorporate visuals with audio poetry to create a multi-sensory, poetic experience. As I also have a deep passion for music, I have been filming recording artists in the studio and creating visuals for instrumental albums on top of working on the release of my own poetry album. There is much in the world we can do when we work together. Love is real ~~~ www.sparklepoetess.com
