So much in so few words O, and so very open to interpretation.... masterful. t x
A fascinating poem capable of a myriad of interpretations as previous comments suggest. I see the portrait as the jilted lover's metaphor for love lost burning out of the blackness of regret. Great write. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
'He created a portrait/beyond visible present/of a lady in infra-red.' recently I was thinking is it probable or possible there is poem without s/he? Why a he create a portrait of a she? Is it love? Platonic or metaphysical? I love John Donne and this poem. My wish in the form of 10.
What a beautiful idea... the way that lovers recreate one anothers' bodies in the dark - painting with warmth, sculpting with loving hands the clay of their loved one's form....
Great concept and the thought just glows in the dark. Love always sees beyond the visible present...love sees all the way to the heart's core. Always you make visible the intagible presence of love...staining it with your words until it too glows in the mind love Donall Donall
a nice concept/fantasy with infrared of mind can visualize in the darkness... great and interesting write.... Ency Bearis
In the darkness one can see only by infra-red rays. This fantasy is interesting. Why is all around dark? Why has one to see anybody into this contest? This one can be a private contest, however, I dont'know, maybe a little of this darkness has to be illuminated. Without infra-red rays.
in the black background of the poem frame what illuminates the moving lines is the radiating heat of red hot love...ten grade
Interesting, thought-provoking and original as yours always are. HG: -) xx
Very interesting and very beautiful
