Echoing Words Poem by Mihaela Pirjol

‘Mihaela, take our child…'

Hypnotised, in bewilderment:
the words echoed—crystalline,
as in the vastness of space,
reverberating
through the walls:
shaking the walls
of your guarded mind.
Multitudes of emotions
emitted in a fraction of a second—
shivers and shudders
electrified our beings;
passing ardently, sensually,
as a summer sea breeze
in this Aphrodisiac Climate of Erotas!
Your phantom-white face—transfixed;
my hazel-eyes captured
inside eyes of a deep, boiling ocean;
your secret love compressed
within their marine magnificence:
a voluptuous intensity of desire,
frightening with possession!

‘Mihaela, take our child…'

And the words tumbled
upon my ears
in a cascade of meanings:
I startled…
a raw happiness formed around my heart,
it flourished a rosy smile upon my face.
You startled too…
at the sound of your own voice,
of your own thoughts
slipping carelessly through your lips…
floating and filling the air,
echoing a resonance
of subtleties of significations,
while our eyes were devoured
in a phrensy of emotions—
between passion and madness!
How your heart—heavy,
tormented with love unbridled
echoed around us in the open air…!
As clocks—
chiming the hour of conception,
announcing the time…
echoes mild…

‘Mihaela, take our child…'
