REVELATION ANGEL

09 04 13

If you hear endearment in the plea
leave the echoed sigh of sympathy
and come with your libretto lungs
and lips of red zephyr absolution
to purify the black coughs of cumulus
evaporating the enclosure
of my satin-threaded fetters

A failed emblem of security
in solitary journeys

Come and lay your mortal coil
of seraphic incarnation
next to my imprisoned vessel
of corrupted humanness
Slow my palpitating hourglass
of ashen peace-of-mind
with organic visitations of
your marble maze shrines
Here I can placate my warped
direction with the porcelain decor
of your serene skin

Angel

Wrap your light around my being
like the sun around an icicle
then release me long enough
to euphemise the darkness in me
from de-light to silhouette enlightenment

Hear my plea
muffled by annulled identity
Be the angel
hiding in my boiled
satin threads
and reveal me

[Priscilla Sayers]

Love...
You are revealed.
The light that is pulsing beats out the rhythm of the fires that dance, happy
In their pit of sand... They dance for your Soul, to the roaring of the waves, the crashing crescendo
Flaring the energy of Passion, of Life. The images rise and you smile in the mist of red and orange hues
The golden arcs of floating embers flashes the reflections from your eyes.

My dear, I don't believe I've ever been given a review like this before...it is just as poetic as the poem you're commenting on, if not more...to know that I could inspire you this way moves me beyond words...what more can I say, thank you my friend...love and hugs to you.

Truly a revelation to behold.. wow.. this is probably one of the best ones of yours I have read.. it is so sweet, open, honest, romantic soul sharing... heartfelt declaration of want, of need, of desire... waiting for that special one to hear, to listen, to want, to take advantage and claim... yes, love angels... tickled that they are thrown in there as well...

"Slow my palpitating hourglass

your marble maze shrines"..... these are my favorite lines, besides the opening two... love, love, love this piece.. I mean it.. like really love this piece... well done... ((hugs)) to you my friend.. thank you so much for sharing this with me...

[kublakhan27]

I'm so happy that you enjoyed this one April, I had a feeling you would ;) It's definitely a piece I hold close to the chest...anytime I reference angels you know you're reading one of my deeper pieces...there isn't much I can say about it really, it's all in the poem...I'm just happy that this one meant something to you, and it brought a smile to my face knowing that this is one of your favourites...thank you so much :) ((hugs))

[AprilRN1210]

you're welcome... ((hugs)) back to you..

One is surrounded by the beauty and peace of one revealed at a time when respite is needed, and healing to begin.......ah, such is an Angel - a plea for her to come and help!
I like the way you describe your state of emotions before she arrives, and then the relief anticipated after her arrival.
Really lovely!

[kublakhan27]

So glad this one spoke to you so deeply...thank you Sheila :)

This is lovely, Steveroo - I think you've written this amazingly well as always. This took me on a very interesting journey, and I loved the imagery and wording. Amazing as always, buster.

[kublakhan27]

Thanks bud, this is another recent piece that came from a dark place, or a slightly-dimmed one at best. It's a lonely piece to be honest. I'm glad it took you on a journey...writing it was a journey as well :)

[s y e]

I could tell, hope all is well or slightly better?

[kublakhan27]

Today is slightly better, only because of the support you're giving me today :)

[s y e]

We are moving forward and up bud, that;s we gotta do. :)

[kublakhan27]

Indeed my friend :)

[s y e]

So forward and up from now on, yeah?

[kublakhan27]

Well I can't guarantee "from now on" cuz my condition just doesn't allow for it, but every day is a new chance to turn over a new leaf :)

[s y e]

Good, I like this thinking.

[Careline]

This is beautiful, so beautiful. I hope she sees this, and sees how much you appreciate her. With a poem like this, I'm sure it would win any woman over. Good luck, my friend!

[kublakhan27]

She has seen it, and she liked it :) Thank you my friend :)

[Keith]

Amazing piece, we feel unworthy in the presence of a wonderful woman. Can she elevate our self image to fell worthy of her?

and this ....

Great stuff.

[kublakhan27]

So true my friend, and a good question...glad you enjoyed this one.

[Luke L]

Man, you write like a woman, and I mean that as a compliment. Very descriptive and beautiful :)

[kublakhan27]

Haha what can I say, I have a feminine side and I'm not afraid to use it :P Glad you liked it my friend :)

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

This is a fabulous write, my friend. I always feel as though I can see straight into your soul when I am reading your work, but this one shows a bit more of the heart than usual. There is a straining tide ebbing within you, rolling shards of colored glass to smooth edged stones; those stones are your words, and I have to admitt that just as I love to walk the shores with bare feet and collect those beautiful little treasures, I too love to walk the shores of your poetic soul and collect your words. Well done...

[kublakhan27]

You always know how to comfort me in times of creative duress my friend...this was the last piece I wrote before a dry spell hit which I may just be emerging from now but cannot yet say for sure...your poetry always ignites similar feelings within me and yet I can never find the words to get those feelings across in my reviews...there are times when I would gladly trade in some of that poetic soul for heart, as the former seems to overpower the latter without fail...I always welcome your bare feet upon the crags of my innermost feelings...thank you Sarah.

This strikes cords with me I wish I could better explain. It makes me tempted to send you my latest Art Appreciation paper comparing/contrasting two sculptures: "Dreamers Awake" by Tom Otterness, and "Feather Towers" by Vicky Scuri. You should look these up when you get the chance. Awesome, as your poem! Xo.

[kublakhan27]

Thanks so much Mel, you don't have to say a thing, just knowing it strikes a chord with you is all I need to know :) I'd have to look the paper sometime, and I'll have to look them up for sure...xo

[Robbie~xoxo~]

Damn, you did again!...you swept me away....
What an Astounding write, sweetie!

I enjoyed reading this immensely!!
You have breathed life into the spirit of Poetry...This showcases your divine enchantment for an Angel to lift your heart...I love this, beautifully penned confession...(sigh)...

My darling, you are making me blush most intensely :D I'm at a loss for words...you tapped into this piece (and my mindset) as deeply as it could be tapped into...I'm so happy you enjoyed this one so much, thank you (((love and hugs))) :) xoxo

[Robbie~xoxo~]

It's one of your best!! I'm a sucker for Angels... and this one is uber Romantic...
Lovely, Lovely Write!~xoxo~:)

[kublakhan27]

*hugs* :) It may surprise you (well actually it may not, cuz you know me pretty well ;)) that I have a fascination with them as well...I'm not sure why it took so long for them to work their way into my writing, I guess I just had to be genuinely inspired ;) Thanks so much, I can't stress it enough (((love and hugs))) :)
