Welcome to this blog dedicated to the Posthumous work of the Colombian poet Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares born in Don Matias on January 20, 1948-2010. Where I will be publishing each of the 175 sonnets from his unpublished collection 'Sonnets For The Twenty First Century And A Circadian Musical (1984-1987).' Analyzed with GPT4 artificial intelligence and illustrated with AI tools... I hope you enjoy this garden of words snatched from the solitude of a locked room.
Likewise, any enthusiast of the sonnet form is invited to conduct their personal studies of Arroyave Tabares' work, as it is a collection that, although registered since 1989, has not yet been published.

Sonnet 106 by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares
```
All The Same
Life feels so full under this angel's eye, Delving her svelt and sensuous figure, Hands and hair that extravagantly fly, And her splendid mood which heavens augure. 4
The music with her walk keeps beckoning, And her sweet mouth always flirts with my name, As I must leave, time I keep reckoning, But for her I might just stay all the same...
Very quickly today my mind I made, Who would not?, Her looks are orders to stay... "I would not fall fast next time," I had said For love, though, we can always change our way...
And if she made such fires with a sight, "Why not?", I meant, touching lips with a sigh. *** 4-. augure= to fortell.

Analysis "All The Same"
Introduction
"Sonnet 106" by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares is a beautiful exploration of love and desire, with a strong emphasis on the physical and emotional allure of the beloved. The sonnet follows the traditional structure of a sonnet with 14 lines, but it does not strictly adhere to the iambic pentameter or the traditional rhyme scheme.
Thematic Analysis
The first quatrain (lines 1-4) introduces the beloved, painting her as an angelic figure with a "svelt and sensuous figure" and "hands and hair that extravagantly fly." The speaker is captivated by her beauty and the "splendid mood" she brings, which he believes is a good omen ("heavens augur").
The second quatrain (lines 5-8) continues to describe the beloved's allure, focusing on her walk and the sound of her voice. The speaker is so entranced that he contemplates staying with her, despite the fact that he must leave. This suggests a conflict between duty and desire.
The third quatrain (lines 9-12) reveals the speaker's internal struggle. He had previously decided not to fall in love too quickly ("I would not fall fast next time,"), but he finds himself unable to resist the beloved's charm. This highlights the unpredictable and overpowering nature of love.
The final couplet (lines 13-14) concludes the sonnet with a rhetorical question, suggesting that the speaker has succumbed to his desire. The act of "touching lips with a sigh" implies a kiss, symbolizing the speaker's surrender to his feelings.
Overall, "Sonnet 106" is a passionate and evocative portrayal of love's power to captivate and transform. It explores the tension between reason and emotion, ultimately suggesting that love can override rational thought and decision-making.
Rhyme Scheme

The rhyme scheme can be represented as ABAB CDCD EFEF GG. This is a variation of the Shakespearean sonnet form, which typically follows the ABAB CDCD EFEF GG pattern.

This suggests that the poet is experimenting with the sonnet form, blending traditional and modern elements to create a unique poetic expression.
Additional Aspects to Analyze
While we've covered the rhyme scheme and general thematic analysis of "Sonnet 106" by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares, there are still several aspects that can be further explored, including its use of imagery, tone, and language.
-
Imagery: The sonnet is rich in vivid and sensual imagery that brings the beloved to life. The speaker describes her physical attributes ("svelt and sensuous figure", "hands and hair that extravagantly fly") and her effect on him ("The music with her walk keeps beckoning", "Her looks are orders to stay"). This creates a vivid picture of the beloved and helps the reader understand the speaker's attraction.
-
Tone: The tone of the sonnet is passionate and contemplative. The speaker is deeply moved by the beloved's beauty and struggles with his feelings for her. His tone shifts from admiration ("Life feels so full under this angel's eye") to conflict ("As I must leave, time I keep reckoning") and finally to surrender ("Why not?", I meant, touching lips with a sigh").
-
Language: The language used in the sonnet is both descriptive and emotive. The speaker uses a combination of concrete descriptions and abstract concepts to express his feelings. For example, he describes the beloved's physical beauty and the effect it has on him, but also contemplates the nature of love and desire ("For love, though, we can always change our way").
-
Metaphor: The sonnet uses metaphor to convey the speaker's feelings. The beloved is compared to an angel, suggesting her ethereal beauty and the speaker's reverence for her. Her mood is said to "augur" the heavens, implying that her presence is a good omen.
-
Structure: While the sonnet does not strictly adhere to the traditional sonnet form, it maintains the 14-line structure and the turn (or volta) typically found in sonnets. The turn occurs in the final couplet, where the speaker resolves his internal conflict and surrenders to his feelings for the beloved.
-
Symbolism: The act of "touching lips with a sigh" in the final line symbolizes a kiss, which represents the speaker's surrender to his feelings. This is a powerful symbol of love and desire, and it provides a fitting conclusion to the sonnet.
In conclusion, "Sonnet 106" is a complex and evocative exploration of love and desire. It uses vivid imagery, emotive language, and symbolic gestures to convey the speaker's feelings, creating a rich and engaging poetic experience.
