She by new perspective Upon admission into far-reaching travels Exemplifies any premise Traces gathered, sharing porridges Corn is unable to put off things There…is the insight of genius Where everything is green And all words have their way with her Praiseworthy of attention And the wellsprings of blue waves of sky Haply peek over mountain slopes In bright tinted sun dresses Growing comes late, but arrives Moving southward, in wetted cloths Where cypress mates with pine Upon unfurling stones Broad avenues raise joyful echoes One in mind with pitiful cries Neglecting their work, gathering aloe When the wings of magpies provide Their canopied carriage Lutes scampering around their feet Like children of humanity In blossom time Drinking wine of soft white silk Where darkened shadows tilt To emulate a bond with fate If there is such a thing? If even such a small sampling Such a grand cook slows summer while… Looking upon such teaming stars Wishes carry calling homes While returning to our woodland Where a courtyard is plump with chrysanthemums Probing to find words that grant each landlord Fireflies, with faces full of wonder That parting long endured, implodes the instance With arsenal rumbling voices, like a blinding flash Melting her eyes, into such depths Asking…”How much do you love me” Or…were you in love with righteousness? “Just beautiful words” he replies “Creating this stately hall Within this woman’s breast” He points to her Softly, wearing a bleeding heart which smiles She cries for the victory of his heart, he has possessed...and Now carries carefully, with medals of honor While building him a campfire Sharing her provisions And the offspring of rose petals Romancing a green seal of sea and shores they commune with words In a valley somewhere in Virginia Bearing six children... Imaginative power Fires from genius Spiritual well being Unquestionable friendship Blooming flowers and Happy poem Forgetting not each voice Glimpsing the other through clear windows Of the heavy perfume of spring They hear immense twilight with green eyes Folding the souls of forgotten pastures They are now warm with infinite eyes Satisfied, holding each other Understanding the spells of despair Now all postcards come with colors On pages from delicious mornings Compiled with merit and one grain of sage Carefully patting the ground around it |

I often pass by longer poems, because of the time constraints on my participation here....I'm truly glad I stayed for this one. |
