Like a Stravinsky's Bird

[JTParreira]

The fire that sleeps
in my heart's volcano
began rising,

like a rose,
like a Stravinsky's bird,

the fire that crowns
my cardiac crater
until my lips burn
the heavy silence.

For some reason this one gave me the shivers! Lovely poem JT, really beautiful, and I love the weight of that last line. It built, and built in that short space, and I found myself waiting for a crescendo, but instead this 'heavy silence' hits with impact. Brilliant.

How wonderful. Not only your poem but that the lava is starting to flow.

After listening to a piece of Stravinsky's Music mixed with birds, I found the poem eerie...Here's the rain for it...http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Doom.gif

Good as this is I felt it as a crescendo without a coda.
