Passing Thoughts #14 ~ February Spellbound

Passing Thoughts #14 ~ February Spellbound
~

1. Revenant by hedgewitch fascinated me with the Gothic darkness of magical poetry.
My Comment: A fascinating sense of dark drama looming into a storm! Beautiful!

2. (a) Sitting With Ghosts from Poesia Torta (Crooked Poetry) - aka Kenia Cris, is a tantalising reflection on other worlds infiltrating our lives.
It's all in the way we live our lives
and the way we sit our ghosts
at the dining table...
My Comment: O what a creative, light-hearted reflection on thoughts of more eerie beings that may inhabit our lives! Loved this!

(b) Also from Poesia Torta, I loved #441.
I need life to be hectic
so I have no free time
to think about empty spaces...
My Comment: As if in being hectic, the more unsavoury elements of life are squashed and silenced for awhile! An enchanting but dark melancholy underlines these words! Beautifully crafted!

Writer's Island 2010 ~ Prompt #15 ~ Spellbound
~

It was one of those cluttered Saturday mornings
Intimidating date with the weekly shopping routine
Gorgeous weather mockingly watching our dutiful engagement with
The inevitable

But on the way home
Car boot laden
Somehow the light
Sensuously beckoned

A brief relief by Dromana pier

Magical
Undulating dance of
Light rippling on
The breath of
Water

Spellbound by
The art of light
Spellbound

Spellbound Dark Landscapes ~ for Writer's Island

Salvador Dali's study for the dream sequence in Spellbound;

Alfred Hitchcock's 1945 movie reflecting how past experiences reflect neuroses. ~

Sometimes

Inner worlds

Are skeletal chips

Of old bones

Defining some illusory form

Of eyes, ears

And maybe even a mouthline

(Poetic spaces are

The haunt

Of bated breath)

Strangely

Such mortuary specimans

Fascinate the intimate ghoul

In all of us
