a really long poem

a really long poem

 

 

your face

an exquisite painting 

a hologram

 

my hand passed right through yours

I haven't 

an artist's imagination

 

and I don't write 

really long poems

but I kiss

in illustrations

adjacent to

the lines 

of sinful demarcation.

(my hand passed right through yours I haven't an artist's imagination) I beg to differ Jacob. If anything my friend you most certainly DO have an artist's imagination and all who choose to read your work are most certainly the better for it! ~Sharon

A nice, romantic piece of perfect length. Too many on this site don't know when to pull the plug.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

They're as real as you imagine them to be. 🙂
I'm reminded of movies like She and Ex Machina

I don't know if I would be handing out secrets like that for free. A fine line, as they say.

Holograms look like the real thing minus the beating heart. They are to look at only. That’s where my mind drifted J on another freezing cold day warmed by a hot chocolate .

Yes, we must all endeavor to stay within, or is it without ? the sinful lines :)
and how did I know, before I clicked on it, that your really long poem would be short? haha

[jacob erin-cilberto]

ah you know me too well, thank you, JD,

Very nice dance of words and thoughts. I try to write less epic poetry. Yes Jacob, you wrote everything needed in the amazing poetry.

thank you, Coyote,

You are welcome Jacob.

The daily visitations of the simplest expressions are often more beloved and meaningful than the epic proclamations of the sages.
It’s like a “quickly” in the morning is better than only having four hours of tantric magic once a month. Ha.

You be you. It’s wonderful.

thank you, Scott...

We fall in love with holograms. They're never real. We just think they are and make it up as we go.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

just like a reflection on a pond in the moonlight...we see our face as we want to.
thank you, DIVYA,

[DIVYA]

Yes and that reflection is wavering, never still and sure.
You're welcome!
