The Friday Poem: Lilane

Benicia Patch poetry maestro Jeff Burkhart helps you explore this love poem.

The author guides us through love and loss in "Lilane". The intensity of the love and the loss of Lilane in the piece begs the question, is this a lover or perhaps an object of his fantasies. The dreamy, poetic ambiguity paints a beautiful picture of a feeling......... and that's a good thing. Bravo!

Lilane  by Xinovert

She took the mike and isolated
the group
Artfully she spoke us into the
rendition of her perspective.

Beyond the emotion she performed
on display,
Her words wove wisdom betwixt
her introspections

The passion flavored recital
whispers with the insistence that I too have felt this truth.
“Here is my facet” her eyes say
as they descended from her view of beyond us,

and focus once again on the
us……and me.
Awe sooths the panic as I

glimpse the vastness of her soul,

Yet there is strength in her words,

their inflection

Every gesture and glance holds

me safe while her art guides my eye to the piece of eternity she shares today.

What fragile joy she has brought
me,
A gossamer construction of such
intangibles as;

Neologistic phraseology, and
subliminal push and pull shading that assures
“There is even more beyond all
this”.
                                                          God I miss you Lilane
