the muse - lyrical poem by jrqc - use of imagery and other elements




Your love vibrates in the waters of  my heart, 
play your music, your lullaby, 
and in your bosom let me rest, while you my darling, caress my head.
You, the pillars of my life, the golden cup, the laurel crown,
I, the slave of your love, the one who abandons his own,
the one who cannot exist without submerging his head in the goldens of your hair,
in the slumber of your tranquility, in the mountains of your breasts.

You my goddess, what am I to be without you?
a simple decaying soul that even the sun denies to shine upon,
you my calmness, who tames my enraged spirit for war, 
that cruel one that distorts the heart and the soul.

You the one I love with all my might,
the one I care during the blazing sun and starry nights,
you my sunrise sung by birds,
my sunset bathed in red and gold with a dagger that cannot hurt.

At the gallop of my beast my heart stirs,
beholding the wind as it gently caress the sun of your hair,
the whiteness of the moon is poured on you,
and I render myself to you, my love, to your embrace, to your rivers and mountains.
and from your immaculate body I myself embriagate.

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...
