Surreal heart

by Karla   Nov 7, 2012


Can you help me take off the clothes of the day
and dishevel the night?
Maybe we can put lipstick on the lips of life
or do a face peeling on Madame Death.

Tomorrow shan't be like today:
I will have 2 inches of poetic words
and 3 bucks of metaphors.
My feet will dream about distant melted lands.
My body will make love to fleeting images
of Rene Magritte.

I won't be here anymore:
My home is where the winds sweep the angels
as you invent me.

Can you help me to hypnotize devil in me
and deconstruct my brain waves?

I am looking for polarities and bi-dimensional hearts.
I am in need of a decontextualised moment.

    I wonder why I didn't read this.

    You may be tired of my comments which do not provide you with 1% interpretation, but I just can't... you'll always stay my #1 poetess.

    I am so happy that you are my friend, and at the same time, I'm so happy that you are so very talented. Latin women are beyond cleverness and passion. ;)

    * Can you help me to take....
    = I think the 'to' is unnecessary

    Wow

    I love Rene Magritte, especially the floating castles on rocks, he had a thing about apples as well.

    This poem is as surreal as his artwork

    I read this poem on the thread and fell in love. I dont know what it is about it.... using life and death in the first stanza... putting lipstick on the lips of life... 2 inches, 3 bucks... all of it is just beautiful... great job Karla. Very sophisticated.
