Aerona's Bethlehem

Inaugural Star Of Bethlehem. Spun out in lush ebony to gleam with delirium.

For this she will play fancy with Lucifer, moist mouth the Martyr.

With arachnid eyes she is patient. But then too long on the crowned crest.

Be not confused with worship. This innocent of the Cosmos is a

Tempting tyrian. He is patient for the world of nothing.

Feathered Aerona has crisped and darked with your touch. But with this

She is immortal. So alive in your bittersweet tempter’s cocoon.

Soon she will lust for your master shroud. With this, her devils will dance.

And with charred wings, she will nestle at your neck.  She will whisper sharply.

“You who have darked this dove has made her a raven.”

Then animal cries by soured obsidian will sing to our mistress.

This poem demands rereading which I honestly did it twice.
I have been blown away by the magic which beats in each line of this poem... Artistically presented, Literally written, imaginatively painted...
"He is patient for the world of nothing.
Feathered Aerona has crisped and darked with your touch"
Such vivid structures haunted by mystery are in this piece of work and the last lines are the icing on the cake...I ADMIRE IT.

[Lawrence Parlier]

Another excellent piece. This is the kind of work I love to read...Completely aware of the classics, the forms, the connections...but fully willing to toss it aside and WRITE! This is the poetry of the 21st century!!

I couldn't stop re-reading this poem. Its too thought provoking not too. The imagery is great and the art you speak in your words make a different world of what I see. You have talent my friend. Use it well.

I just subscribed to your work...realizing I'm missing out here. You are an incredible artist my dear!

[Seshat Nidaba]

That's a sweet wicked mouthful!

[Richard Williams]

There are some wonderfully intriguing lines and words, the first line sparkles.

[Lizzie_Madrid]

WOW!

I like this. Intense. Reminds me of the Greek myth of Persephone a bit. Beautifully written and striking. Kudos.

From a straightforward looking-only-at-the-surface standpoint, your poetry is garbage... But looking at it from an emotional, artistic point of view, is f@&king brilliant. The way you layer the language, leaving each line open to individual interpretation based on the reader's personal experience is brilliant. All of your poems have a surreal, dreamlIke quality that I really like, and your choice of words is superb. Another great piece.
