Aleksandra Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Nomads Castle Somewhere where the endless sky sleeps where the birds' longing makes castles, snowflakes dance with leaves, the sun gazes into Nomads' steps, and the heart beats over Namtso view. The desire melts in the fire of stones. Veins are crossroads on the paths; they pass over and over bleeding rivers extinguishing the thirst. *Namtso By Aleksandra 9/18/2007 11:44 PM The poet is a liar who always speaks the truth - Jean Cocteau History of Macedonia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyv Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Hello, dear. This poem delights! It contains more of the lovely Alek expressions I've become accustomed to as a regular reader of your work, like the birds' longing makes castles; but I think my favorites in this one are the sun gazes into Nomads' steps and the heart beats over Namtso view. I like how you mention the specific place, Namtso lake and its environs. I do wonder what the thirst is to which the poetess alludes -- perhaps its a longing for adventure, like that of the nomad, or even for the stability of home. Either way, I am fascinated and charmed.

Tony Hello Tony. How nice is your comment. Glad you like my expressions. Your wondering about what made me to write this yes maybe is something like stability of home, and own feelings lost made me to think on nomad's life. And then the picture of Namsto provoked me and inspired me to write this some time ago. bw thanks for your nice words and I am happy to have you as regular reader of my work.
