Illusions in Shades of Lust

SCII cover approved!!!  The 3rd time was not the charm, but I finally figured out what was wrong with the cover and resubmitted it yesterday.  I ordered the proof today and should have it on Friday.  In the meantime, I will share a poem from the 'Torment' section of :Shadows on the Carpet II".

Illusions in Shades of Lust

photo art by AVR

Flights of fanciful
Delusional dreams
Of two souls in the
Throes of love - prone on
Opaque blue and gray
Stained tangled sheets of
Invisible lives
Splashing ruby red
Passion onto a
Canvass of ecru
Tinged with broken hearts

English/Czech - Re-Entry/Návrat

This week's English/Czech posting is the 4th poem inspired by the abstract art of Ivan Pavlíček. I would love your comments on either version of this poem.

Re-Entry

Blue turns to

Violet

As absence

Slowly fades

And my heart

Begins to

Burst into

Flaming red

Návrat

Modrá se mění
do fialova
Když nepřítomnost
pomalu vadne
A moje srdce
začíná planout
žhavou červenou

English/Czech - Shades of You in Blue/Tvoje odstíny v modrém

My weekly Czech and English posting - this is the 3rd poem inspired by the abstract art of Ivan Pavlíček.

Shades of You in Blue

Blue washes

Over me

The blue of

Missing you

Cuts into

My heart and

Leaves blue-black

Scars on my

Tortured soul

Tvoje odstíny v modrém

Modrá přelévá se přese mě
Ten modrý stesk po tobě
promítne se do mého srdce
A zanechává modro-černé jizvy
na mé utrýzněné duši
