“my love reveals objects”
by isabel fraire

my love reveals objects
silken butterflies
concealed in his fingers

his words
splash me with stars

night shines like lightning
under the fingers of my love

my love invents worlds where
jeweled glittering serpents live

worlds where music is the world
worlds where houses with open eyes
contemplate the dawn

my love is a mad sunflower that forget
fragments of sun in the silence

what is the effect of the imagery in this poem?

it emphasizes how much the speaker admires and loves this man.
it distracts the reader from how immature the love must be.
it reveals her sadness at his madness and eventual suicide.
it obscures the fact that he doesn’t really love her at all.
