DESPIERTA

 



DESPIERTA -

Despierta del umbral del sueño amada mía,

ya haz visto la lluvia caer y mojar tus ropas sin enjugar tus lágrimas,

mientras tus pies descalzos se pasean sobre la balustrada de piedra,

y sigues en tu andar sin rumbo fijo.

 

Tus ojos entreabiertos, rehusan el despertar y prefieren sumergirse en la tranquilidad,

ya haz visto las figuras de porcelana resquebrajdas y bañadas en lluvia,

y las rosas que tan hermosas son bañadas en tus lágrimas,

hasta ellas lamentan tu tristeza.

 

A que se asemeja tu sueño con tu vida preciosa mia?

ya haz visto a los gemelos con sus ropas finas y su buen hablar,

mas no disciernes la fantasía de la realidad,

en un sueño del que al parecer no quieres despertar.

 

Había copas de vino en los marcos de la ventanas me decías,

había alegría vestida en música, en cantos, en esperanza,

ya haz visto y aun así no disciernes,

ya haz visto y no quieres despertar para hacerlo realidad.

 

Despierta amada mía de tu profundo dormir,

camina las calles sin que nada a la vista este borroso,

vestida de alegría, vestida con perlas de lágrimas de felicidad,

porque la planta que verde había sido, florece de la raiz.

THE VOICE (of faith and evil) - written by jrqc (philosophical literature - fiction)

  THE VOICE (of faith and evil) "I believe the world itself can blind you with its banal sweet-honey taste, making you forget who you truly are. It's so easy to fall for it without even realizing about it. Sometimes I so hate it!" Thought he while staring at the gloomy morning that somehow felt as if carrying a burden of pessimism on its shoulders.  "I'd say that this world itself makes your spirit bloom in its rightful and truthful nature" a faint voice whispered, hollowed and distant. "Besides, what would you be if it wasn't for this world that you somehow have conquered and shaped to your own convenience?. This world, as you put it, has not left you out, furthermore it has complied to your wishes and whims". The soft tone of the whispering voice added. "There you are wrong! We know perfectly well that I am what I am through my God-given free will and that it is through HIS help that I have lived and experienced things out of HIS mercy s...

THE WORLD - What is lyrical prose? by jrqc

I always rely on imagery and sensory language when writing poems, short stories and whatever else I can tap my imagination and feelings with.  Lyrical prose blurs the line between prose and poetry and it is, in my humble opinion, the perfect way to make reading a sensory experience while focusing on the emotions and feelings of the character / narrator and in this way creating an atmosphere and the mood through which the story or prose is developed.  There is also a sense of musicality, since the rhythm and sounds of the words contribute to the overall effect of the writing. Simultaneously, the use of imagery is for me of utmost important in order to create that sensory experience for the reader. Just saying "Maria was tired" does not convey imagery but more of a statement. The notion of sensory imagery falls, I believe, in the concept of "show not tell" making the experience of reading richer and soulful.  Letting feelings set free, allows the narrator to express t...
