un bel pasticcio

Just a good old-fashioned genuine, straight from the heart, love poem. The real kind that inevitably shows up after each of you have broken hearts, promises, and you barely survived.

I propose we slip away
into the lost hours
during the in-between

(they’d never miss us)

and breathe in
this enchanted sanctuary
devoted not
to keeping pace
with the reeling world

enraptured by your words
safe in knowing you mean them
my cheek content on your chest
mashed up and entangled…

un bel pasticcio

I propose we slip away

often

back to Utopia

that exclusive dimension

far removed

from the blurry, named existence

complete with our own
secret language

under a blanket
of shared darkness
and familiar insanity…

un bel pasticcio

I really thought it was a song, perhaps it can be... it is just amazing how love will just leave us breathless.. very nice piece...

Thank you very much, Pax :) Love can be truly transformational, inspiring us to be our best selves, but also serving as a mirror to our worst, if we are humble enough to look. I am always moved to write at these times of true metamorphoses, as a way of capturing the highs to serve as a buoy for the lows. All art expressing said defining moments is fascinating to me. Again, thank you so much for your kind words and for inspiring me to submit.

keep writing!
