Poem: «To Ride the Silence»

(C.2021, All Rights Reserved, «Purples» acrylic on canvas by Francisco Bravo Cabrera)

To ride the silence of your thoughts in my ship of purple,

I spin the earth, motivate the winds, inflate the sails,

entice the oceans to make currents fast and wide

because we alone in silent dreams do abide…

To climb upon your purple thoughts of thunder and creation,

I flatten truth, unwind the clocks, connect the lights that brighten your dark street,

and empty out the bar so we alone within can drink…

C.2021, Francisco Bravo Cabrera, 25 NOV 2021, Valencia, Spain

    What a vivid and imaginative poem! The imagery of “riding the silence” and navigating a “ship of purple” is both enchanting and dreamlike. Bravo Cabrera’s use of color, motion, and intimate reflection creates a beautifully immersive experience—mysterious, lyrical, and deeply evocative.
