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.

Beautiful poem! I had to reread and analyze your poem several times and each time I got a new interpretation of it. Although I'm not 100 per cent sure what your poem meant there's no denying that your poem is well written and white charming.

such a vindictive poem, I may say.

lol, after reading some of the other reviews I think we can agree that there is a truly magical and wondrous depth to this poem. You are truly talented and I have a feeling I will enjoy most if not all of your work. The descriptions you vocalize allow my mind to capture visions of a rather ethereal world. Who does not enjoy escaping the chains of reality every once in a while. I really enjoyed the dark evolution from dove to raven.

Excellent word play. I had to read this three times there was so much depth interwoven in each line.

[Larry Dyson]

is painted as the coy yet illusively dangerous innocent..difficult to pin down but already a immortal in the making..brillant.

I have to say I didn't really understand this...but then I'm 6 years younger than you. I still thought the words were beautiful, so nice job.

I read it again too because of the depth of the imagery in this. You've done something unique here. It's like some sort of fable the way the words are chosen in this piece.

An amazing flow of imagery and word usage! I loved how it takes us into a very dark and visual setting and tells a tale a powerful tale. A beautifully crafted work of art. Two Thumbs Up!
