And a kiss but of clouds
that brushed the sky to cover
the naked breast of moon
who had the moment before
stood naked in front of me
showing the round of full milk
that leaked itself onto the black

She has covered herself
before the sun
had his eyes above the rim of her bed
and was to see too much
instead she lay in a gauze of woven dreams
protecting modesty of those who
on sunday went to church and prayed
that they might be whole some
unable to understand through their own fog
that flesh does not sin nor does the act of love
become the key to hell
when she in a swell of belly would give birth yet
to the way spring seeps into earth
slowly warm

Too
then there are the stars
that would sing in mass the psalms
of sentances too great for us to hold
within the confines of our ears
that we might breach the black
and touch

should we burn?
or would the end of passing night
bring us to the soul
where we might lay inside the flesh
contented to the prelude of
another

passing morn

Even if we could hear what they say, I believe we would be unable to comprehend the meaning, and in a way, I have no desire to do so.

Some things should remain mysterious, imo

very well done, Cpat

I ask in advance - Forgive me, I have returned to your poem time and time again to soak in the words.  So many beautiful visions, but there remains a meaning that keeps playing in my mind, inspired from your poem…  that of Mary carrying Christ.. the struggles that she had to face.. and the glory that He brings…  

Most likely I am not on the correct path with these thoughts, but my reply is with the best of intentions and sincere enjoyment of your poem…

I think I like the way Aleta looked into your poem...
and that alone is the wonder of you, and your ways
of leaving the fullness behind.

Tremendous write, Cpat!  I couldn't tell you how this affected me if I spent a half-hour trying to put it into words!  I enjoyed Aleta's interpretation, as well.

many thanks to all of you...for the time taken to read, and then to leave your words of encouragement ...

obviously, I haven't haunted these halls much of late..and apologies..to all the wonderful poets I have read, when I can, and not taken the time myself to leave a few words..

so to everyone..I say.. thank you

indeed breach the black...

My whole situtaion-made from clay to stone

perhaps they hold different meanings for different ears?

Excellent work...amazing
