I trace the contours of your being upon the folds of life
I wrap you up into myself to stop the flight of time
I count the years and save each day we leave behind
You are the treasure I will cherish until the day I die
I see the gleam of happiness in your tired eyes
I close the blinds so only you can be my source of light
And in the dark when I’m alone I climb upon your rays
You are the sunlight I will seek until the end of my days
Claudia Moscovici, The Painful Poignancy of Desire (2007)
About romanticlovepoetry
I was born in Bucharest, Romania and immigrated to the United States when I was almost twelve years old. Here I obtained an B.A. from Princeton University and a Ph. D. in Comparative Literature from Brown University. At Princeton, I met and fell in love with my husband, Dan. We live in Michigan with our two children, Sophie and Alex. I taught philosophy and literature, focusing on the Romantic period, at Boston University and the University of Michigan. Since 2003, I've been working with a group of international artists on postromanticism, a contemporary art movement that I co-founded with the Mexican sculptor Leonardo Pereznieto. Postromantic artists strive to express beauty, sensuality and passion in their artwork. I do the same in my scholarly book "Romanticism and Postromanticism" (2007) and in a collection of love poems, "The Painful Poignancy of Desire" (2007). If you're interested in taking a look at this art, our website is postromanticism.com. I'm also a fiction writer. My first novel, "Velvet Totalitarianism" (2009), describes a family's survival in communist Romania due to the strength of their love. You can find out more about me and my writing on my author's profile on Notablewriters.com.
