SACRED SERENADE - by jrqc - poetic prose

(watercolor by jrqc)

I hear the in the distance the summoning chant,

the striking of the drum, powerful and mighty,

I sense your warmth, as if the flame of your passion licked my flesh,

as if the sweat of the temple of your body once more bathed me,

your voice in unison to the priests,

protected by trees standing tall, and the golden fire of old.


I see you crowned, I see your majestic beauty draped in white, shield and sword in hand,

I see the depths of your eyes and I let you come into the corners of my heart and mind,

and I know you will stay, and dwell, and linger,

nothing more but feasts, battle and victory for us both.


The chants filtered in waves through the branches and twigs, 

that even they shake in marvel,

the wind soft and whimless, caress the goldens of your hair,

your mouth smirks in pleasure,

I kiss you, and I merged with you in one flesh,

and a spring of love and flowers burst within us,

and to the forest we belong,

and to the stars we sing,

and to the moon we howl,

and to us both we chain our hearts.

"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...
