ETERNITY I. Winter Ice adhering to hair Shivering alone Desiring the touch of another A thought--no--a memory Of how I came into this world Cold and Naked Bare like the trees Emerging from the darkness To darkness Silence shattered by the powerful wind Reminding us of who is really in control There is a beauty in this tragedy Despair somehow brings hope The earlier the sunset Later it seems for sun rise Coldness understood not through the senses But a state of being Death, not experienced But a way of life. II. Spring The warm air sends Signals of ecstasy Running through my body More powerful than any drug The winter has been long Your cold naked body shivers The sun sends passion into our loins Bursting over the horizon Its rays overflowing Our beds unite Trees bloom and darkness fades Ice unthawed instantly by the fire within “Awake my love” Hide not your beauty behind the coat of winter Expose that which makes even the goddess jealous From the ideal in my mind Now Venus has become flesh Genuflecting-- I hold her in my arms Let us enjoy the spark of warmth. Summer Sweat drips like rain Work and toil Labor it seems without rest Possessing all in what feels like an eternal spring No longer can I remember the coldness Sun penetrates our nude bodies It is as if the gods themselves control us Blessed yoke Happy bondage Wrapping around my finger as a ring Flowers and birds Grass as green as our love Leaves blooming with intense vigor Eternally they will sing to us Fall Sunset like a surprise Things are not as warm as they used to be Trees balding like men I hold dead leaves Dead as that initial spark One by one they fall Slowly dying away Winter is soon Many times we have died But this time our death has brought life Harvesting children as if they were corn Hidden growth that surprises you like cold Tears falling like leaves One by one Wailing as if an animal was dying But deep within a new life Max Bardus http://darkenedorange.blogspot.com/ |

An enjoyable read, taking the reader through seasonal/life changes that renew themselves each year. |
