~unresolved~[ spectacle]

[last week jumped the gun for "spectacle'.
this week it's 'resolve'.trying to address both.]/AUG 24:/OSI 'RESOLVE'

"Unresolved"~[spectacle]

behold the appearance of love
resolve a monalisa smile
the tajmahals carved of the moon
as dawn drops her tresses of gold
or dusk blushes, her cheeks on fire
the beauty of nirvana's truths
fill a grand canyon of desire
blindfolded,see a blind man's view
through the vision of sightlessness
the visual of the within
it was never invisible
perhaps red,green or blue on show
whoever caught a glimpse would know
behold the spectacle of love!..

RESOLVE(2)[IF time permits!]
'A Brush With Goya'*~

a wrinkled carrier
like a leather kayak
capsized,and frozen #
unworldly lifelessness

an overturned shoe
grief had bitten through
its' sole to open up
poverty's hidden doors

a cheap cigarette butt
lying alongside
voicelessly narrates
the burnt out hardship

will the brain resolve
to step into that shoe
for 'nother spectacle
of a so called conscience..

Oh what a beautiful love poem!
I see you made the same mistake I did with that calendar change.

This poem is just wonderful, Zoya! I especially loved as dawn drops her tresses of gold.

But is it a love poem, for at the beginning you call it 'the appearance of love'.

The spectacle of love is a tough one.

This is wonderful, Zoya. Thanks. God bless.

To "fill a grand canyon of desire", spectacular line! Thanks, lovely vision.

Spectacular piece. I love the use of parentheses; they bring resonances of the dictionary.

powerful images!

Beautiful gems of language, as always - "grief had bitten through"!

Beautiful words. Powerful messages that roll off the tongue.

Your first poem is filled with mystical visions pulled from so many wonderful images. I like how you explored the visible and non-visable.

The second is my favorite of the two. I like the stanzas that are confined to one image. The shoe is very powerful.

How long, I wonder, do we have to
chase after the spectacle of love before we find the real thing?
Great Poem!
Thank You for sharing it.
