flowering lament

Posted on March 20, 2014 Updated on March 20, 2014

the boundaries have dissolved
and music ceaselessly plays

held captive by your gaze
I have become a moth to flame

with nothing left to say
I am melting in this moment
slowly fading in your haze

embrace me
in your arms

and let me escape

…..

inspired by one of the most moving compositions I have heard : Lament by Jacaszek

Nice rhythm, strong image where you state:

with nothing left to say
I am melting in this moment

..reminds me of the voice of Beth Gibbons a bit

Dear Himani,

You have such a gift with words, and communicating what cannot be communicated, such as the music at the borders…where boundaries have dissolved.

This music is extraordinary. I like it a lot.

Thank you so much for this.
