In My Sky At Twilight

I had the great privilege to be invited to participate in the exhibit A Thousand Words curated by Trouble Dethly . Each participant had to pick among poems from Pablo Neruda's collection "Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair" and it was not an easy task as all of them have this little something that sparked some ideas in my mind. My final choice went to this wonderful poem :

 

In My Sky At Twilight

 

In my sky at twilight you are like a cloud

and your form and colour are the way I love them.

You are mine, mine, woman with sweet lips

and in your life my infinite dreams live.

 

The lamp of my soul dyes your feet,

the sour wine is sweeter on your lips,

oh reaper of my evening song,

how solitary dreams believe you to be mine!

 

You are mine, mine, I go shouting it to the afternoon's

wind, and the wind hauls on my widowed voice.

Huntress of the depth of my eyes, your plunder

stills your nocturnal regard as though it were water.

 

You are taken in the net of my music, my love,

and my nets of music are wide as the sky.

My soul is born on the shore of your eyes of mourning.

In your eyes of mourning the land of dreams begin.

 

This picture was taken @ Elysion where I tried my best to translate the strong emotion of infatuation and love that I felt while reading this text, and had to include two recurrent elements in Neruda's poetry: the sky and the sea.

I also want to thank Lya for accepting to be part of this project with me and being that constant soul pulling my hand, making me embrace every challenge ♥

 

 

Please go take a look at it in world, Trouble built a very atmospheric and beautiful forest as a canva for the selected artists to display their pictures, and as you wander through it, you'll be able to really feel the words and images coming alive togheter.

 

The exhibit is open now through November 21, don't miss it !

Your Taxi is here
