I like how the poem moves beautifully from quiet whispers to a bold, sensual crescendo. The shift from the quiet “loneliness of lips” to the sudden, overwhelming urgency of the final lines is brilliant. I never would have thought to describe the moon as “slut coloured red” -that vivid, daring language perfectly captures the poem’s alive energy.

Art to me is polished work and imagination in the same brushstroke. The best art remains for generations. It effects people in a way they can see something in life that grabs them and holds them. This includes writing as well.
Nice one ~Relic~

Hi Relic/Tim (I am assuming from WC), thank you for your view on art. Yes, art should grab and hold (if done well) or as Ntozake Shange once said, “poetry should make you feel”. I think this is true for all forms of artistic endeavors.
Thanks for your comment Relic and it’s nice to see you here at the SR.

Hi Fia, Relic is Tim’s pen name. He is one of the poets who has come here to SR from Writers Cafe. My real name is Curtis (Curt) and my pen name is redzone. Sorry if I have created any confusion.
Yes, I think we write for ourselves (be ourselves) because art comes from within us, from our imaginations or from our lives. But I also think it’s our way of communicating to others. We bare ourselves to the world when we post or get a book published or in the many other ways that our poems are seen by other people. Yes, poems are “vivid” and should be. They should grab us, hold us tight and make us feel, and see the world though other’s eyes. I used to paint, but haven’t done so for many years now. I think about picking up the brushes every so often.
Anyway, thank you Fia for sharing your views on art. And thank you for your visit to this poem, it’s much appreciated.

Yikes. The ambivalence of this is where good literature should lead one. Your typing fingers fall as effortlessly as snow onto the keyboard.

Dearest Crimsin,
Thank you. That’s very kind of you to say. I do feel the message in this dream so strongly. It brought a lot of comfort, especially since it touched on something that had been troubling me for a while.It’s a powerful feeling to know there’s a force or even a divine intervention that will be our advocate, even if we’re not there to witness it.

Thank you so much, Jim. “Sweet Sisters” means everything, as the poem is indeed rooted in the unseen bonds and protective love between us.
I’m truly happy to hear it resonates with so many readers. I think at its core, the message of trusting your inner-light is something we all need to carry. I appreciate your kind words! -
