Urban murmur

Urban murmur - Art & Poetry by Li van Saathoff


- Art & Poetry -

With the first buds of that spring I met you.
Your eyes glistened, and the buds. They shone pale.
Spring night - cool evening breeze full aroma of fresh blooms
blowing back the memories of you,
when a hand gently stroked on the skin of my waist.
Both, hands and waist, carried traces of life.
Midlife brittleness. Below throbbing sensations.
Heart-pain-metaphor overlaid wet beads
in your hairline.
The completeness deficits of recent years dwindled
to the size of a weary gesture
and was whisked away.
Friend.
An urban murmur is carried over by the air...


(this poem is written by Li van Saathoff for the visual artwork "Urban murmur")

Since It Was A Rose

Since It Was A Rose - Art and Poetry



since it was a rose
you gave me
to forgive you
I was thinking
about the love
we once had
but rose like love
did fade...



(this poem is written by Li van Saathoff specifically for the visual artwork "since it was a rose")

White cherry blossom series

White cherry blossom Mandala cut

I'm already waiting longingly for the spring, you too?
This may at least be the reason why I got stuck a few days ago at one of my older photos, which shows a single white cherry blossom. It's only a snapshot which I've done for joy at this sign of spring a few years ago, but it has inspired me to try some different photo manipulations. I want to show you the results:
