Eos, keeper of the dawn Lifts blushed fingers towards the sky Unlocking inky chains of night And releasing a lemon chariot Of blossoming fire. Sweet sprays of sultry water Cascade towards our diamond sheet Of alabaster sand Which shifts ‘neath your sleeping face And melds softly With curves of luscious skin. Thoughts roll backward To midnight lighted tenderly By the snowy goddess of the moon As beneath her waves of gold Our souls traveled the scarlet burst Of desire’s flame. Our spirits spent And entwined in silver fog To dreams we gladly fell... Waking hazily now to aurora’s caress My emerald eyes touch your frame As in slumber you gently sigh And I wait for the eternity That together we shall soar. *Krista Knutson* "We are not seperate from spirit, we are in it." ~Plotinus~ |

Krista, this is beautiful! I especally love how you portray Eos, or Dawn. I love mythology  . Beautiful imagery, as always. "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde "The robbed that smiles steals something from the thief" -Shakespea |

Krista. This is one of your best..and believe me they are all marvelous! In about 10 years, I want to read that you've been named a Pulitzer Prize winner for poetry. I have such faith in you. This is incredible writing! Thank you for sharing this with me.  |

Well, Krista, as always you've produced a very impressive piece. *sighs* I wish I could write poetry like you can. I like this one a lot. The way you described her feelings, very nicely done, as per usual. Like the descriptive wording. "Our souls traveled the scarlet burst of desire's flame..." Like it, like it, like it! Very good job!

Oh Krista, I love reading your works, this is very beautiful! Yes, I am here, but I am dead, not alive, my body goes on, my spirit has died and I though alive, feel dead inside. "Rose Petal" |

Lovely poem, Krista,, absolutely wonderful! I loved the opening verse, the image of Eos invoked a powerful picture in my mind. Loved this one muchly, tis indeed among your greatest, my dear Abrahm Simons "Keep on dreamin' boy 'cause when you stop dreaming it's time to die" - Blind Melon |

Krista, once again, your pen has laid out a trail of beaty in imagery and thought. You've the talent, you've the heart. I applaud with quiet respect from this corner of the world! I do have a suggestion, a personal foible really. That being that you could consider chainging "towards" to "toward." |

I don't want to wait 10 years to know that Krista, or anyone else here at Passions who writes as well as this, is acknowledged and honored! I want to see it now!  To you Krista who keeps Passions' Flames Alive Sunny ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. Helen Keller ~~~ When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ |
