THE NECTAR OF MY LIFE MY MORTAL PARK

A Petal, poised in Twilight's silent hush,

Observed beneath the moon's eternal blush,

Captures your Kiss - a fleeting, whispered touch,

Before it into the Void - must rush.

Thy spirit's essence within my soul's embrace,

No other entity possesses such fiery grace,

Your touch, luminous - upon my life, a trace,

Into the Unknown's blaze, I am dispatched in pace.

Still, rooted I remain in this quiet Mortal Park,

Amongst the Departed - my existence a stark,

Striving for the midnight Sun's endless arc,

In this spirit Garden, alone - I embark.

The Flower, plucked by your capricious hand,

Twirling in the somber, charcoal land,

The spirit twined with the industrious bee,

Siphoning the sweet life's essence - from me.

And if I should cast my Seeds - before the Rest,

May it be where Daylight finds its noble Crest,

For I'm the Spirit, with the Bee in my quest,

Stealing all the sweetness - from Life's bequest.

Your first stanza is beautiful. So delicate and romantic with its moonlit imagery. I imagined being in a graveyard with the souls of the departed. So quiet , you could hear a pin drop. Much enjoyed, and the end of line rhyme in your stanzas.

Sometimes the departed visit me. Mostly all within my dreams. Once while awake!

[Chris Shaw]

I too am visited in dreams by those loved ones departed. Once in my garden I was visited by my great grandmother. I wrote Martha, as it was a memorable experience,

I want to one day meet you in person :)

[Chris Shaw]

Yes. Of course.

[E.P. Robles]

I over stepped. It is my heart. I am just friendly. But I now know. Thank you.

[Chris Shaw]

No problem.

[E.P. Robles]

No. It is done. I appreciate it.

This is fascinating -- beautiful and haunting, slowly painting an inner and outer environment entwined, or reflected, and carries the reader to that twain destination with patient sureness. Thank you.
