Three Abstract Poems
Based on my feelings on my first hearing of "Turangulila
Symphony" by Oliver Messien
1: Blur
2: Darker Places
3: Stasis
Just a -blur-
Shocked to life - no awakening
Colours, patterns - more, mosaic.
Movement and flurry for a time,
activity and bustle - (music and noise).
Nowhere to go, but hurry!...;
blur to dazzle?
Or -darker places-
deep alleyways in transit
the eternal dank damp,
dripping.
Heavy mist,
the empty abysses
putrid and hidden
from lives and death.
Passage to
darker places. -stasis-.
Timeless darkness,
scurrying nothingness.
The eternal pulsing of time
far away. Detached
and unknown.
Eternal nothingness...
Stasis.
