Passion - Reading Van Gogh (6. Sunflowers)

Grief
was once consumed
vibrantly
hence metamorphosed
into a new life form
fostered by
the joyance
of sun-
light







Impression - Reading Monet (3. Sunrise)


3. Sunrise

The Sun
reluctantly
woke up from
her morning dream
carelessly
dropped some
whispers in water -
broke the calm
reflection into
pieces of
dancing
ripples

followed the heat of Sun

resided in the middle of
the naked field
strived to grow
life
with his
naked
brushstrokes

Passion- reading Van Gogh (2. August)


2. August

Sky was paint yellow
mountains flowed in blue
silent field was disturbed by aimless wind ---
Oh, another fervent August
with all vibrant colors
struggled
to explain a soul
overloaded
with grief

Impression - reading Monet (water lilies)


1. Water lilies



Today, water lilies never seem so satisfied
with the dim light of dusk ---
that's why they jumped into water
interrupted
the conversations between
trees
and their
reflections

Mystery - reading Odilon Redon (Seashell)

Seashell
is not from ocean
but the heart of
tender
flesh
bleeding from
the slightest
cut of
love





Mystery - reading Odilon Redon (Mystery)

Colors was toned in blue
shaped
as a face
a mystery was created
somewhere in between
an inviting smile, and
an unexpected
story
line

All creatures
are flattened on
a 2D surface, yet
lives grow into depth
stealthily
by some
carelessly sprinkled
green

The spotlight
is on an ancient arena ---

My Story Under Sea


My story
was conceived in water
born on rising tide
told
by a fisherman and his boat

My story contains chapters
that intertwine like seaweeds, which
conceal secrets of life
within  shadows that lie on seabed

My story grows
like other creatures under sea
absorbs salted water
breathes melted sunshine
and moonlight

My story
is a mystery
a mystery that displays scenarios
with anticipations, yet
surprises, like ever-increasing ripples
perplex
fisherman
and his boat

Spring


Spring, my frozen body thawed
by
the brightness of day
the sound of wind
and the aimlessly shaking of trees ---

Oh whom should I blame
for my already senseless heart
is gonna be broken again
by
the careless touches of
fledgling green

Signore, ascolta!


Yes, through a gentle sigh in the dark
I heard her, Signore
she is a woman ---

Her sigh is like a pearl
dropping on the icy face of grief
with each quivering of ripples
she redefines winter landscape

Her bodyline winds through shores
like wind, pushes waves to a end of sea
where --- she captures glimmer of moonlight
turns darkness into sunrise

Her voice rises with the Sun
by each melodic tone
she turns the sorrow into music
music into comfort --- in which

she embraces us
with her mighty love of grace

Oh Signore, ascolta!
She is a woman
The Mother of the Universe!



This poem is inspired by Signore, ascolta* sung by Maria Callas*Signore, ascolta --- aria from opera Turandot, composed by Giacomo Puccini. "Signore, ascolta" is Italian means "Lord, listen" in English.
