Heart's Haven Poem by Daniel Brick
Heart's Haven
In a garden of rare flowers
named 'Heart's Haven' by Perdita
and her silent accomplice, Ophelia,
your feet sheathed in silver slippers,
your hands warmed in the softest gloves.
a cloak of flesh
wrapped around your body,
your soul thrown into the heart
of things
by a deliberate gesture,
you live in a conscious happiness
that has lasted unperturbed
for three decades... I have
traveled many miles to witness
this, only this, nothing else.
of which KUBLA KHAN is the most famous. He defines a visionary fragment as a small unfinished piece, which somehow implies a huge completed opus. Characteristics include musicality, mood and emotion. I'm not comparing myself to Coleridge, and I have no huge opus biding its time in my psyche, but otherwise this definition justifies posting this poem. Also, for several years I have enjoyed and admired poems by a poet who goes by the pen-name SUNPRINCESS, whose protagonist is a princess in a garden. The women at the centers of both of our gardens have much in common.
This is a fragmentary piece or may be just an introduction! Your heroine, may be around thirty years is pictured in a garden of rare flowers.... obviously she is of princely birth with silver slippers and hands warmed in softest mittens.... Her conscious happiness is unperturbed unlike that of the two heroines of Shakespeare mentioned in the poem... Perdita, born in a prison as a suspected illegitimate child and Ophelia, one of the most tragic heroines of Shakespeare! I don't get the real thread of the poem... still I have enjoyed it and the concluding lines' I have travelled many miles to witness this'...... leaves me again at the brink of suspense!
A poem that's seems an eternity of time indeed an haven of the heart that has lasted three score and ten worth seeing for sure....interesting poem thanks and regards
'a cloak of flesh wrapped around your body, your soul thrown into the heart of things' A visionary fragment of the most intense.. Love its musicality, its precious 'hue'.. With a finale: 'I have traveled many miles to witness this, only this, nothing else.' ...that is another 'sceptre'.. one of the highest pick..
