Bubbling
Boiling
Bursting through my veins
Charcoal shadows churning
Falling
Draping
Gathering their furls
Blue waves towering
Grasping
Damning
Blanketing with pain
Red river burning
Bubbling
Boiling
Bursting through my veins
Green ripples creeping
Lapping
Nipping
Feeding on the current
Gray winds swirling
Pushing
Shoving
Smothering with shame
Red river burning
Bubbling
Boiling
Bursting through my veins
Purple stream throbbing
Pushing
Driving
Aching to release
Yellow fury seething
Reaching
Screaming
Gnashing at the strain
Red river burning
Bubbling
Boiling
Bursting through my veins
Pink blossom clenching
Pulling
Tugging
Drawing to the womb
Red river burning
Bubbling
Boiling
Bursting through my veins
White breeze dancing
Swirling
Caressing
Draping on the surface
Violet fingers soothing
Softening
Caressing
Struggling to tame
Red river burning
Bubbling
Boiling
Sloshing through my veins
Black tower looming
Bearing
Cursing
Struggling to constrain
Red river burning
Bubbling
Boiling
Bursting through my veins

Sentías hervir la sangre ¿eh?
Esa ventanita donde tu corazón late, sumida en negro carbón….
que encierra la presencia de fuego eterno.
Todo son verbos que expresan sonidos, fluídos, movimiento de objetos que tocan otros objectos, cómo las olas las orillas, el curso de río el lecho por donde corre….la sangre que quema el cuerpo, y lo lanza hacia la nada….perdida energía del Sol interior.
Toda yo…..trata de percibir con el cuerpo, con los nervios..con la piel…el efecto de ese río de vitalidad…que ha quedado tan maravillosamente reducido en esa ventanita… arriba… donde la mente se vuelve linterna.
Rosa (precioso….Richard!!!!!)

Bueno, no tanto la sangre, pero de una manera si. Quise illustrar la pasion y como dijiste en tu comentario la percepcion sensual. Al mismo tiempo agregue algo de combate entre el ser sensual y la mente. Un mente que trata de controlar, o contener, la pasion con ideas que ha promovido el gran “Pensar” de la sociedad. Digo el “Pensar” como la norma, y/o las ideas que uno adquiere del prejuicio que le rodea y a veces de su propia experiencia. Son ideas que tratan de controlar la pasion y eviten su desarollo y exploracion. Eso se representa por el torre de sombras que enjaula la pasion, o como dijiste tu, el corazon.
Gracias Rosa por tomar el tiempo e interes para interpretar mi trabajo. Es motivante compartir contigo sobre el arte y el mundo que ilustramos por medio de el.
Te mando un abrazo!

Wow…....this is wonderful…..each verse could stand on it’s own as powerful as they are all together. This could be mixed in so many ways and pleasing and changing in every turn of the mix. What wonderful words, and powerful emotions that cling to each….....I love the pink!

Wow: Thank you so much for your wonderful praise on this work. I haven’t received many comments on it, but I’ve been fortunate in that the two comments so far have been from people (You and Rosa) who took the time to appreciate it. I know that’s hard to do with so much going on here on RB, and I greatly appreciate your attention.
