Lost Words (a centro)

2006 Poetry

What can I put to prose

to show you the truth,

as I crave a warm summer moon.

Such words are lost

tumbled within recesses deep,

where you laid me in the sand.

Lie with me staring into grass,

wondering now of things said,

too much coming from my pen.

Feel these sacred truths of my whispers,

that swept us to this spot.

It is kaleidoscope, mirror and facets,

touching down in the core.

Drunk on the sangria of your eyes,

teaching each other simple words.

There's no space to be touched ahead,

you have given me far more

than I could hope to return.

Author's Notes/Comments: 


The cento: is basically a patchwork poem created completely by using lines from different authors. This form has been around since the 2nd century or so and was used by scholarly monks and versions of the form have been used by T.S. Elliot in the eccologues and Ezra Pound in the Canto's. Though it is not thought that any prominent poetry has been written in the pure style of the form since the 15th century.
