| Venus de Milo with Drawers, 1936, Salvador Dali |
tears into the limits
pieces of patience
tests the heroic prophets
loneliness is stealing into the heart
dry eyes find themselves gazing into space
myriads of everything are hidden in the drawers
yet the monarch stands tall
"broken discipline takes away the winds
monday will bring it into order
only to make it slowly disintegrate until further orders"

Interesting your seeing the sculpture as representing a monarch. It does fit! Nice words.
I especially like the line - loneliness is stealing into the heart - it sums up the picture.
I love the ending... great poem.
"loneliness is stealing into the heart" is a wonderful line, great poem!
Amazing verses with vivid imagery. Each subsequent line builds upon the other. Nicely written.
Clever use of both prompts, and they seem to go together effortlessly.

Love the last line. thipsi
There's always the 'further orders'...
I want to know what's in the drawers! Nicely whirled. :)
As always, you have wrapped your sensitivity around an image. Beautifully done!pubjuum
I love the loneliness line, and the prophets - and, especially, the title.
I suppose all of us have drawers hidden with secrets. Why not the Venus too who Dali ensured first that she couldn't open them. I saw a conjectural reconstruction once of where her arms would have been...they just didn't look right!
Yet it stands tall..to find order only to disengage again...so very typical of the human mind!
stands alone, cut out to engage and disengage on orders. So very akin to the human mind! :)
I love your last line. She does stand tall.
Wonderful, and silly isn't it how Mondays have a way of doing just that!
Yet the monarch stands tall... made me think back a few decades to the fall of the Shah of Iran.
I lke the mlitary accent , Gautami , cheers
its nice..
my gosh the last part about monday's are words to chew on I loved it!
Don't ask...don't tell...
"hidden in the drawers..."
I wondered what was hiding in there!
Well done.
=)
