Daphne

You are my

Poetree.

Each story holds its leaf,

But deeper I go

Cause I wanna see your roots.

Cocooning in your trunk...

Allow us to grow from within.

Drenched with your nectar,

Pour me a shot.

Save me a minute; rather,

I want to lay in it,

So there's no need for olive oil baths.

The discovery of your tomb has

Fed my hunger of the fruit of your womb.

Fruit of my woman,

Fruit of my Moon,

Woven and dancing within my soul.

Grant me a taste...

Can you see the craters that were

Bruised upon my chest?

Underneath the branch is where my heart rest.

The poisoness of my days...

Spring in my face.

Wow, very poetic. Love your choice of words and how you weaved them. I like that you avoid filler words and have an immense amount of meaning in your context.

My favorite line: "Can you see the bruise that was
Laid upon my chest?
Underneath the branch is where my heart sings." Well done, I'll be reading more of your work.

Thank you Kelly.

[Relic]

I read a bunch of your poems today. You are a unique writer with interesting color and dynamics in your diction. This is a good example of that.

Nice work Sir.

[sinNsincerity]

Why thank you Relic, I really appreciate that.

[Harlotte Crow]

Very beautiful, elegant and classy. I love the reference to the plight of Daphne and her fight for perpetual virginity from a shot of lead.

Apollo and Daphne is an interesting way to convey the interest and wild desire of someone virginal, pure and although there, they are rather unattainable.

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you Harlotte, I have been reading a lot of Greek and Roman Lit as of late and just thought it'll be cool if I put my own twist on things. I'm really glad that you did love it!

''Allow us to grow from within. '' damn, but that hit to close to home. Lovely write dear David, the last 5 lines are sheer perfection, both sense and style.

Your fan,
Ana.

[sinNsincerity]

Did it really?
Thank you so much Ana, I highly appreciate that and I'm so glad that you enjoyed this one.

The muse makes your wanderings quite poetic and romantic. I can feel the beginning of spring everywhere here, not only in your poem, on this page in general, the emotions are getting lighter and jump around in their brightened state calling for love.
"But deeper I go cause I wanna see your roots", how very relatable. There's no true worship without depth. The muse is the keeper of such and a proper lover. I like how you've woven the soft words into your modern style.

[sinNsincerity]

They speak to me in many ways and keep me driven.
I'm glad that you like it Vanessa. I'm always trying to take something and make it my own as well as thinking of new ideas.
