Oblivion (Catherine G. Vilbrun)
by Scott Mitchell
Rapture of skin
Glimpse of time passed
So sweetly
Gracefully ascending to oblivion
A symphony chanted in unison
Loosing grip on reality
Parting from the shell of skin
And embracing our duality made one
Your name like a chant upon my lips
Summoning a fragile love
Further parting to embrace you
The self of me lost in time
Falling into pure karma
Like an open book
Left for your fingers to discover and guide

Scott’s rave: The first words “Rapture of skin” immediately set the stage here in this work of art by Miss Vilbrun. Oh how the imagination takes control as I continue reading of the succulent intimacy, but THEN, what’s this? The 3rd stanza poked my curiosity with “further parting.” Whew, I seriously just felt a thunderbolt through my entire soul! Can one part from and lose the self in such a moment? Wow, how so much can be pondered in that last stanza. I want to live this poem! Beautiful writing and I thank Catherine G. Vilbrun for sharing it here!

Beautiful words, in two minutes. That’s the best kind of loving, when you lose grip on reality.
I’m frustrated lol.
Kidding. I agree with what you say Shian. Thanks for commenting!
Haha! 😀
I’ll take one of these to go please! Geez this is Hot!
Catherine, your words are two minutes of pure depth and beauty. “A symphony chanted in unison…” What is more beautiful then music created by two loving souls? Wonderful poem!
Thank you so much Lauren. You cannnot imagine how receiving such praise from you fills me with joy. All I try to do is to let the words flow out as real and as naturally as I can. I believe in the beauty and power of words (spoken or written).
