“If I look inside”

Look inside the book

Something more about my book…

If I look inside, like the title suggests, is a collection of poems, written in a very intimate dimension: they are filled with words caressing the pages like a dancing vortex of sensations, emotions that emerge from the memory, uprooted from any metrical conditioning, free from any rhetorical oppression. In this magic space drawn by the poetic word, reality does not loom over, it lives in a parallel dimension.

Pain has no name
No time or space.
It creeps, penetrates, slips inside.

[ ... ]

(Pain)

Sometimes pain becomes extreme sensibility, which the author describes as a trouble more than a gift: it makes us “feel” endlessly and it does not allow us to build up the “Precious jewel-case of indifference, unassailable fortress, necessary weapon” (Indifference) It would be so much easier if sometimes we could just shelter behind that “Indifference” and not “feel” too much anymore.

I was not born to live
But to feel
Listening to pain
like it was music,
Melody that stays within.

[...]

(Invisible World)

Laura Mercurio Ebohon’s poetry has also a very strong evocative component: a place, a far away sound or a small object, apparently not important, suddenly enter the visual camp and take the mind towards other shores never forgotten. It could be a bench, an old garden, a birthday card or a photograph, every object has the effect of dipping the soul into that thoughtfulness of being sad called melancholy.
The author closes this collection with an extremely hermetic sequence of lyrics: after going through a painful journey, through memories and lost affections, Laura looks “Beyond” life searching for the ultimate sense of her suffering, a universal sign of redemption:

[...]

Beyond life, I live,
I hear You singing.
Your embrace supports us
Your spirit guides us.

Laura Mercurio Ebohon ha di recente pubblicato , il suo primo libro di poesie in italiano e inglese dal titolo “Se guardo dentro – If I look inside” (Gruppo Albatros Il Filo, 96 pp. 11,50 euro).
Ogni poesia all’interno di questo volume, inserito nella collana Nuove Voci, è scritta dall’autrice in entrambe le lingue e per i lettori di LSDmagazine.com ci ha gentilmente concesso in esclusiva una parte della prefazione. Di seguito alcune nostre considerazioni.

“una raccolta poetica che vive in una dimensione assolutamente intimistica: la pagina si riempie di parole che accarezzano docilmente il foglio, un vortice danzante di sensazioni, ricordi, talvolta angosce, che sgorgano inarrestabili dalla memoria, del tutto avulse da ogni tipo di condizionamento metrico, libere da qualsivoglia oppressione retorica. In questo spazio magico disegnato dalla parola poetica, la realtà circostante non incombe, ma è come se vivesse in una dimensione parallela.
Con questi versi che alludono a una situazione di profondo smarrimento interno. L’autrice ci racconta immediatamente di essersi persa ma, malgrado tutto, trova dentro di sé ancora la forza di rimettersi in piedi e sbagliare strada di nuovo, perché forse è proprio questo il senso di vivere. Se guardo dentro, come il titolo stesso ci suggerisce, è una raccolta poetica che vive in una dimensione assolutamente intimistica: la pagina si riempie di parole che accarezzano docilmente il foglio, un vortice danzante di sensazioni, ricordi, talvolta angosce, che sgorgano inarrestabili dalla memoria, del tutto avulse da ogni tipo di condizionamento metrico, libere da qualsivoglia oppressione retorica. In questo spazio magico disegnato dalla parola poetica, la realtà circostante che incombe, ma è come se vivesse in una dimensione parallela. La poesia di Laura Mercurio Ebohon ha anche una fortissima componente evocativa: spesso un luogo, un suono lontano o un piccolo oggetto, apparentemente insignificante, che entra d’improvviso nel campo visivo, trasporta la mente verso lidi sopiti, ma mai dimenticati“.
L’autrice racconta che il titolo “Se guardo dentro“, nasce dalla convinzione che esplorare il proprio mondo interiore sia un modo di vivere, necessario, indispensabile alla crescita, all’evoluzione personale… è quello che accade quando ci si riflette nello specchio dell’anima e si guarda oltre… E’ una vita parallela che conserviamo dentro, è il linguaggio del cuore, tutte le emozioni che talvolta vengono soffocate dagli eventi del quotidiano e che ritroviamo soltanto guardandoci dentro, spesso con gli occhi chiusi.
Fonti di ispirazione dei versi di Laura sono l’amore, il dolore, la gioia, il tormento, l’arte, la musica…
In copertina il dipinto “Guarded” di Kristina Laurendi Havens, affermata pittrice americana con la quale Laura ha anche collaborato per il progetto, ideato dall’autrice grazie al quale Arte e Versi si incontrano creando una meravigliosa e potente sinergia. Sul blog di Laura http://iamlauramercurio.com è possibile leggere poesie inedite affiancate da immagini artistiche di grande effetto, come nel caso di “Contortion“, “Guarded” e “Just before dawn“.

Calm waters
By LauraLME
Copyright 2009

Lake of tranquil clear vibes
grey rippling little waves
going nowhere
moving back and forward
around in circles
Still
she lies in cold waters
Frozen
No Direction No fear
Slowly swimming against the draft
The water flowing through her arms
floating… at times resting
wandering through that thick fog
Her heart is taken
she walks the way of pain
she runs the path of heart beats
she jumps on stairs of illusions
like the layers of her soul
deeply caught in that net
of deep emotions and sudden jolts
wrapped up in a mantle of maybes
Soothing calm outside
but if she looks inside
the wind gets stronger
and she starts turning
whirling
faster
until dizziness takes over
Gravity wins
against any law
she should have seen the warnings
before falling back again
in the light of a new truth
in the mist of new mornings

Just before dawn

The painting “Just before dawn” is by Tina Steele Lindsey

I was admiring its tenderness, the delicate mood and the strong message of the light colors, when it suddenly became words…

“Just before dawn”
By LauraLME
Copyright 2009

These hours
are constant needles
piercing through
thin paper walls.
Just before dawn
Standing still
waiting
for the sunshine
to come through
fighting
thick clouds
smoky words
heavy moods
wrapped up
in this warm mantle
of light rays
closed eyes to push back tears
and visions
seeing even deeper
closer…
details and shadings
screaming truth
tracing time
loosing space
taking life
to a new dimension
of shining ideas
like falling stars
in this tender blue sky
no borders no limits
only shadows
in slow motion
pouring glitters of joy ~

Rain & Stardust

Rain
By LauraLME
Copyright 2009 ©

A cloud of thoughts
is crying words
from this ethereal patch of sky,
heavy drops are falling
jumping on trees
sliding on cars
getting on my bare feet,
while I walk
through lanes of memories
and streets of wonders,
bricks and stones are cutting through
I look up, I drink rain and ideas
jumping in muddy puddles of mistakes
carrying that water around
in bags made of plastic visions
and cosmic dreams
I go around in circles
trying to forget…
There is a set road
waiting for me!
I play with time
I float out to space
I run on trails of stardust

Soulwords

That night
By LauraLME
© Copyright 2009

That night I was sliding into myself,
victim and author of my own carnage,
trying to grasp and ascend,
from a ravine of tears and wonders.
That night, still of frames,
clear and muddy of torment
lost in my sea of fears,
I was taking breaths of wind,
falling again in a deeper darker abyss.
I was missing air suffocating in pain,
I was praying
words bouncing on the wall,
bordering despair,
boundary of my heart’s crossing point.
I was finding myself again,
missing survivor
at the shore of your hostile land.
That night engulfed my tears
swallowed my hope!
Relentless nightmares advanced,
entangled me,
and I became a fallen star
in your timeless net.

Mosaic, a vision of Love.

Mosaic
By LauraLME
© Copyright 2009

A vortex of stars
was sent our way,
a tumult of passions,
ran us over,
colliding with our dreams.
We became sand,
soaked by the ocean
carried away in unknown waters,
lost on a hostile land.
Unrecognizable eyes,
laid siege to us,
prisoners in our own cage.
Planning our escape,
from the ropes of ferocious events,
we followed our hearts,
looking inside the maze of our souls,
we found our way back to the light,
we won the darkness,
we stood in the breach.
In the brevity of an instant,
we were born again,
perfect plugs of our mosaic.

Tears

TEARS
By LauraLME
Copyright 2009

k0153683

Every tear falls with a different rhythm
Beats and vibes of its own,
Melodies follow,
Playing in my head
Dancing with my soul.

Every tear has its own reason
Mysterious lanes and empty roads
It draws wet lines
It makes me half blind
Drying up in its own time.

Every tear has a destination
Through valleys and mountains
In a journey of wonders
Caressing the face,
Finding its way to the heart.

Every tear has a name
Nostalgic Memories
Joy, Sorrow,
Unconditional love.
Unbearable pain to follow!

All tears we find in Prayers,
Unchaining words,
Creating inner spaces…
locking up eyes and soul
Wetting our lives with pure drops of sky.
