I suspect I suffer from an acute crisis of half-bloomed neurosis. My past emotions do not fully interfere with my current experiences. The converse is true too. No sophistry added. How boring.
I jump in the water dressed in black lingerie made from Calais laces and Lyon silks. I can feel the waves pounding my body while my mind drowns in the ambiguity of the French Nouveau Roman standing mid-way between modernism and post-modernism like a drunken sunset that cannot distinguish between yellow and orange.
The foliage of the sea turns burgundy. Your fingers contour my face.
Oh, you.
I forget that my favorite poet is Arthur Rimbaud with his “A thousand Dreams within me softly burn” and “I shed more tears than God could ever have required.” All I remember is that once I wrote: “I’ve never existed outside of your obsession with me and my interpretations of you.”
There is something about these interpretations that make you burst in cascades of laughter and art your love for me with lust.
One morning, left by my pillow I found your reply written on a large index card: “I had to bury your existence inside my obsessions. If not, your love could have not been fully stabilized. You above anyone else know that an absolute correspondence in love does not exist. Love is mathematical singularity.”
A wet little bird shivers in my palms. The foliage of the sea turns darker.
Your fingers contour the back of my neck.
My eyes catch fire.
Night, have mercy on us.

‘art your love for me with lust.’ ‘Love is mathematical singularity.’
Fantabulous read. Romance blending from the words like fire in the eyes of the female. Oh so lovely it is.
‘not blending’ its reflecting.
Don’t worry about. I understood.

“I’ve never existed outside of your obsession with me and my interpretations of you.”

Which line is my fav? Believe me, every single line dear Gabriela 😍😍😍. Love this beautiful poem.
Aw… thank you from the bottom of my heart my dearest friend. Sending you love and plenty of hugs 🥰🥰🤗🤗
Your words etch themselves into my soul G. You never fail to make me gasp with their magnificence. I’m sending you love, I never forget you for a moment ❤️❤️❤️❤️
My fabulous Rachel, thank you so much for being here. I thought of you so many times. I miss you so much. I hope you are well sweetheart. I wanted to write to you many times. I didn’t do it because I did not trust myself not to complain. I had a period filled with accomplishments. I should have been happy. Yet, it has been so emotionally taxing. I am already complaining. I should stop.
My beautiful Rachel, I truly hope the sun shines in your soul. I hope you are happy. It is still summer for you. Did you post? I miss your fabulous poetry. Please come back Rachel.
Please my lovely G, if you were to complain, it would be the most beautifully masterful and poetic complaining that I would wish to listen to it all day long. You can’t help it, it’s in your bones. I’m sorry things have been so emotionally taxing. Please complain to me, ok? I have not posted, I don’t feel like I know how to any more. Maybe I forgot, I don’t know. I miss you, I feel I live in shadows these days, we used to talk about that a lot. I feel quiet somehow. Now I’m complaining. I should be happy too.
Can I send you one of those boats with the flowers and chocolates. With a little light from the southern cross guiding the way xxxxxx
Stand out lines for me are these, G – “I’ve never existed outside of your obsession with me and my interpretations of you.” … “You above anyone else know that an absolute correspondence in love does not exist. Love is mathematical singularity.” I’ve already lost count of their re-reads! Take care. E.
Thank you so much my dearest E. Well, what can I say? Those are the lines.
You take care too Eric.
xoxo
The opening lines like a river of thought that eventually merged with the ocean.
Thank you so much for this unbelievable comment 🌹🥰
My pleasure, as was the reading. 🙂

Oh. Love this, Gabriela. The last four lines are sublime and enough to make me gasp. <3

This is absolutely gorgeous.
“I can feel the waves pounding my body while my mind drowns in the ambiguity of the French Nouveau Roman standing mid-way between modernism and post-modernism like a drunken sunset that cannot distinguish between yellow and orange.” This line sent shivers down my spine.
“There is something about these interpretations that make you burst in cascades of laughter and art your love for me with lust.”
Wow!! Just spectacular!!
