Mother Earth

The day you were born mirth and wild
Mire is the bosom in yuletide
Her charm lend the chariot and thee enthroned
In clod through autumn, loved thy brethren a hundredfold

In flabby step she lend a pearty hoist,
A shabby cloth in cold
The kernel and wheat she host
She hailed thee in sublime repose

Her veins draws the life line,
Her winks thy rest
Her breath you breathed
Her skin's abode

She's dying in thy arms
Gnawing with goodbyes
As she gasp for air
Vengeance is not her pride

Her life in crescent cycles
Through centuries her pain imbued
pain in subtle yearnings
What love is it from her brood

The kiss of death subdued
Knurl thorned, last kiss on her head
Pierced lived in crimson hue
He who kissed, thyself betrayed

I have no words for this. I really have great love for our planet. And anything damaging it always makes me feel helpless and emotional. I'd just like to quote a poem by Michael Jackson (No doubt this poem is great) :

"Planet Earth, my home, my place
A capricious anomaly in the sea of space
Planet Earth are you just
Floating by, a cloud of dust
A minor globe, about to bust
A piece of metal bound to rust
A speck of matter in a mindless void
A lonely spaceship, a large asteroid

Cold as a rock without a hue
Held together with a bit of glue
Something tells me this isn't true
You are my sweetheart soft and blue
Do you care, have you a part
In the deepest emotions of my own heart
Tender with breezes caressing and whole
Alive with music, haunting my soul.

In my veins I've felt the mystery
Of corridors of time, books of hisotry
Life songs of ages throbbing in my blood
Have danced the rhythm of the tide and flood
Your misty clouds, your electric storm
Were turbulent tempests in my own form
I've licked the salt, the bitter, the sweet
Of every encounter, of passion, of heat
Your riotous color, your fragrance, your taste
Have thrilled my senses beyond all haste
In your beauty, I've known the how
Of timeless bliss, this moment of now

Planet Earth are you just
Floating by, a cloud of dust
A minor globe, about to bust
A piece of metal bound to rust
A speck of matter in a mindless void
A lonely spaceship, a large asteroid
Cold as a rock without a hue
Held together with a bit of glue
Something tells me this isn't true
You are my sweetheart gentle and blue
Do you care, have you a part
In the deepest emotions of my own heart
Tender with breezes caressing and whole
Alive with music, haunting my soul.
Planet Earth, gentle and blue
With all my heart, I love you."

Thanks for writing about the Earth. Save our planet. For we can't live in her death.

Keep writing.

this reads like a stunning fairy tale through briar roses under a closely watching moon~ the cassic form is truly used in an alluring manner which opens fields of perception in the reader to lean in for closer perusal of movements beneath the obvious~ very well done to capture the imagination in flight~
