Analysis of Återuppväcka
Eric Morales 1998 (Palmdale, CA)
Conversely we kept the flame at bay
Flickering light of intense decay
Scorching torrid blaze of disarray
Despondently we desire...
Woefully nethertheless in it flew
Weaving spells that imbue
Turning night to sabah blue
Begrudgingly we conspire...
Thoroughly plucking at heart strings
Teasing until the undead sings
Squeezing so it almost stings
Dolefully we acquire...
Endlessly it will ensue
Enthralling mingling of two
Recalling that unique hue
Futilely we let it transpire...
Securely the roots surround the core
Shattering masonry to build rapport
Scattering that once lost fire evermore
...Desire that we last eternally

About this poem
The meaning of this poem is about people who wish to be closed off. Who've been through the past trials of being in a relationship. And are now being hurled into another cycle of being in a new one. The title is in swedish and means to reappear/revive, it's in swedish as to not hint at the meaning of the poem, and to make the english audience ponder to what the word means.
