 Through opaque curtains of hazy mists In twilight hours of purple sunset Atop rocks jutting from ocean depths Quietly sitting, a solitary silhouette Azure blue waves caress her ocean throne Moon beams dance upon her silken hair Starlight sparkles deep within her eyes Revealing all mysteries that are hidden there From the inner depths of her enchanted soul Flows yearn filled notes in melodious song The measures are seasoned with bittersweet rhyme As short notes are played out mournfully long Calling upon mystical powers that be Entreat her this rare whimsical glance Into a fantasy, wonder filled world Where all heavenly stars sparkle and dance Beyond the realm of mere mortal men Now beckoning magical silver silhouette Around her neck ever gleaming so bright A beguiling necklace, a sapphire amulet In the wonders of the stillness of night Golden full moon begins to descend Another restless night of waking dreams For now her visit must come to an end Before the golden glow dawning of morning sun She leaves the mossy perch of her throne upon high Breaking through the ocean’s bubbling surface Within the withdrawing silvery tide In bursting, dramatic, rapid, succession She jumps in the air and then gracefully dives Springing forth from the cold, clear blue waters Reaching up to embrace the pink morning sky As the sun begins to crest the horizon And mystical bells begin ringing their chime She gives her green tail a great surging thrust And jumps into deep fathoms for the last time Contentedly resigned to a life of solitude Until mystical moon beckons to her once more Mermaid enchantress swims spiraling downward To Neptune’s mystical kingdom upon ocean floor art by Jim Warren Poetry is: |

Please excuse this one reply...I want to thank all of you for taking time to read this and to comment. I really struggled with this one a long time and felt at war with my muse..  but finally this one came forth written to the picture ,much the same as I did withmy poem "Lady of the Sea" and that painting. This was a prize after I finished it so I am elated that you all enjoyed it big hugs to all, Cher Poetry is: Passion, imagination and intellect running together. Aloha with warmest regards, Cheryl Stewart Koomoa [This message has been edited by CSKpoet (08-27-2002 12:05 AM).] |

Oh my goodness! This has to be the most refreshing poem I have read in a while, you have broken new ground with your technique. The picture is beautiful enough, but your poem compliments it perfectly, and nothing was left out - the whole picture is complete. Thank you for sharing your talents. Staring into the sun just makes you blind to what beauty actually exists in the sky. |
