Poetry by Ana Isabella Vidal


A Cappella The mere thought of you sterilizes my air clean antiseptic that purifies an infected nigh of lonely bed naked body, companionless, forced to perform solo to relieve the lusty pain. Soft instrument attached to me let me pull your strings as I .... with him in mind play myself singing "a cappella" ... whispers only ... pleasure laments ... frantic outburst sexual notes ... the symphony.
Patient Passenger I sit and wait. Hands demurely on my lap, like a lady. Patience dressed in white, pure, innocent, naive. As the first touch. As the first kiss. Is being so long, many leaves have fallen, many waves have washed the shores, stones abraded, foam recycled. Ask the mirror, I have changed. My skin is not as flawless, the eyes a little tired, the flesh dragged down. Still I wait for him to come. My lips will keep the freshness of a red apple eager to be bitten. Patience will be rewarded, hungry heart will be feed. Passenger waiting for a connecting fly, they will soon call my name. I will ........calmly wait.
Visions I like the vision of books aloofly piled up on top of my bedside table. The same way I like the vision of you dressed in love. The rainbow of white and yellow pages guard the postcards that I never send, the ones that bring back memories of glorious days. Hands that I never felt holding my body in graceful manner. How many books how many pages. How many days how many places. Not to go but to touch to explore tenderly. Take me to far away lands make me cross the sea and bring me back. Give me postcards to remember by sweet voyage of a long night, warming the pages of my life.
