Dear Ms Jacquii
,
First and foremost, I must say that this is the epitome of exquisite abstract poetry. This poetic form is quite challenging, yet you seem to make the words float. That title alone speaks volumes, and captured the essence and tone of the piece, as well as my attention.
I first thought of the nursery rhyme…”Little Boy Blue” to prepare my mind for your poetic journey and equate similarities to the piece, as well as the latter of the title. The latter of the title “In The Garden Of Love” appealed to me, in terms of this little boy, tired and fast asleep, and would cry upon being awoken, yet experiences a variety of emotion dealing with love, self, and relations.
I love the first line and the use of the word “muscled”, as it represents the painting, as well as the words brick and stone, represents strength. The words “demurely (in tone)” to me, indicates an underlying emotion felt, (perhaps very shy), and not willingly showcased. The strum feathered citar with Kama Sutra indicates (in my opinion only) a person sharing an experience with a teen exploring their sensual and sexual fibers.
This love seems to be almost taboo from the words scribed in the next two stanzas, yet so commanding that it seems that you want to tell the world, as described by the use of the word, “Music”. After all is said and done, what blows now is a cool and “gentle” zephyr (a word that I love and use). That shy little Boy Blue’s world changed as he grasps for life and grasps for love.
When the zephyr passes, the little soul knows that fate has been granted; only love can blossom from untaimed soil. Loved this immensely! Loved the style, the words, the crafts womanship, the mastery of writing, the execution, all was so perfect, as if this should be placed in a glass case, with a golden lock. I am in awe of the level of your gift, and am thankful to have you as a mentor. I will not achieve this level, however, I love what has been scribed before me. Just wow, Ms Jacquii.
