This perfection:
deep indigo of the blueberry,
saturated primaries of the King Parrot,
ochres painted by the setting sun,
is exquisite pain; I want its DNA,
to become the silence of the desert night,
whisper of quarks in the inky blackness,
nocturnal song of the African bush,
to inhale sensation of crushed silk,
embody cool water on skin,
synthesize oblivion of deep sleep.
But these are lambent shadows,
intangible ticklings
of some ancient sense –
when observed, they are gone.

such a banquet of colours and sensations, served up in a palette of words, almost designed to gorge the mind…

I love how this poem appeals to all the senses. I tend to forget to really look at the world sometimes, so it’s nice to be reminded of how beautiful it is.

Utterly satisfying on every level. And I love learning new words from you, Bluebee.

Thank you Lady Nyo – I find it impossible to put into words the feeling that the beauty of nature brings
‘saturated primaries of the King Parrot,’I like
They are such beautiful birds, Pseu, and full of cheeky character 😀
How rich and tightly woven this poem is…and the picture of the blueberries is making me hungry
ha, ha – yes, they are scrumptious and so beneficial to the brain and body – I eat them everyday and never get over their amazing colour. Thanks for your comments, frayedges 🙂
You really love that colour 😉 Fantastic poem and very clever, weaving the synaesthesia throughout. The fleeting nature of ecstasy (we’ve been discussing this on another blog).
ha, ha – yes, I do, Gabrielle :-D. Thanks. Can you send me the link to the blog you mentioned? bb
