Dali's painting
the bed, that is not my chambers
lies in wait
the room, that is not my sanctuary
stands still in time
the window, that does not look out
blocks out the view
the light, from the moon above
hovers within
the chequered floor, in the imaginary room
my only reality
the man, who is not my lover
where is he

How expressive and striking is your illusion, I love the way you pair the aspects until you reach the conclusion.

ReplyDeleteLove the poem..."the room that is not my sanctuary".........then I had a "whoa!" moment, when I saw, with a shift of the eye, the man's face on the left. Cool!
ReplyDeletenino, I love how your words fit perfectly to the painting. Nice one.

Wonderful take on such an abstract piece... I have always like Dahli's imaginations, but you have put it to words so well.
ReplyDeleteOooh I really love this, it has a magical quality and is quite haunting! :-)
ReplyDeleteMysterious and cool. Nice piece.
ReplyDeleteLove the flow. Like the way you used elements of the painting to create an entirely new view.
