Chateaus in the Sky

A whirlpool
A rhyme
I take to you like a cat to thyme
Looking out across the mountains from chateaus in the sky

The definite
The deep
In the garden summer tide you do sleep
Where the breeze is scented by the fountains that fall nigh

I would bath your figure in the Milky Way
If you'd let it melt from your hair, in black and grey
I'd cast it in your eyes to amplify the gleam
Then pour it into a vial, and christen it "Liquid Dream"

You could pose for imagination in the still life reflection
To give inspiration to Heaven's poet's perception
You'll sophisticate their essentiality and incite their collective caprice
Where back on earth, you'll be unveiled in the world's art gallery, to rave reviews of "Divinity's Greatest Masterpiece"

A rhythm
A groove
You displace the cosmic balance but to transmove
Beside the aerial streams that flow nigh

The color
The tone
Of all of the glass dreams you have blown
In my studio, floating amongst the chateaus in the sky

This is priceless ... yet probably marketable~

I love this line. This is the kicker for me.
Happy new year.

Thank you for all of the feedback. I've been kind of ambivalent when it comes to this poem. There's some things I really like about it and others that I don't think are quite......"perfection"

I think I need to revise some things in the two middle verses.

Again thanks for all the feedback.

Art in words, words in art..there's no other way for me to describe my feelings about this.. It's not only intelligent, but captivating and beautiful. Can't help but want more.

Wow, I didn't realize people were still commenting on this poem. Again, thank you. I'm definately planning on changing a few things in the 4th verse. I like the first two lines but the "divinity's masterpiece....." part seems too contrived.

Again, thank you.
