My Lady of the Song

 

I hear the melodic tone resignate in echos through my vent

floating specks of sparkling lament

a river of feathers dipped in the wind

lowered slowly from a string- your puppet calls to me

gently tickling my ear

circling

down

down

the drain to the deepest crevice of my senses

stimulating my awareness

a creeping lover’s hand over my spine

chills shake

shutters pulsate

body bursts

bumps emerge

from within supple skin

by a rushing wave blown from the wind of your lips

this music must be what happiness sings

from the harps of angels dancing in heaven

bliss winks at me as if I’ve understood something so many shant ever dream

in their carnal heart of hearts

in their words upon pages in books of the ages

when poets knew of a beauty that could not even come as close to the clouds

as the words that escape you now

They enter my home through a vent

in an apartment

where you thought you were alone

where you thought no one was listening

sing on my Ethereal Lyric

sing on

and cut the thick of night like a knife of reverence

emergent of a time when we cry in our sleep

and beg for the light of day

hope has found a name

and we huddle in our box tight constraints

praying she will sing one more word

just one more line

until our heads fall heavy on our pillows and dream

with sweet serene smiles and a peace we have never known

until this day

My Lady of the Song

soar recklessly

boundless to your tree

carry us on your wing

let us taste your talons sunk deep in the moist fruit of freedom’s womb

she kissed her hand and blew

a marinade in the soiree of the swirling night

within the picante leaf of Baguio dreams

she whispered softly

you will never be without me

so we held her in our arms

a calm to our restless hearts

in one lonely song

by my Seranata in the dead of night

I agree with w.k. this is lyrical almost etherial. Well stated, very well placed. Superb piece of poetry. I am humbled.

This poem was just beautiful.

[DeAn]

I love the way you articulate your prose. it leaves the mind stimulated and the imagination well pleased and filled to the brim with images most never see.

this is a great poem and greater story of the songs that fill our heads in those lonely moments of time.

This is, as a "song" should be, very lyrical. The use of short lines is judicious and appropriate. It flows very nicely, and, as a whole, is very nicely executed. A fine piece of writing.

Oh, I just loved your use of words and the descriptions in here. It was a joy to read.
