Untitled

it's about nature

The half milky moon

Stretches lazy icy fingers

Down on the rooftop,

 

Clouds murmur:

Ready for labor,

Paddling softly as they

Find solitude while

Harboring within

Their endless mystery.

Gathering around,

Like gushes of smokes

Burning aflame

 

Heavy with the precious gems,

women hum lost old blues,

the songs of their land

as their soft honey voice sings

my heart freely enticed,

for it was:

bitter as wailing rains,

hotter as blaze of meteors,

it burns like a furnace’s reign,

stronger like metal to the core,

with dry bitter leaves.

While I shrieked

in my own disbelief

 

The sharp breeze bristled,

Shakes my heart.

Caresses my left cheeks,

With unseen hands.

Cold dew fragrance surrounds.

With savory,

Merry rose petal leaf

Swinging east to west,

Waving goodbyes

Seduced by the wind’s

Tender constant sighs

 

The stars ascend�'

bright in the starry sky

Like celestial beings

Gleaming, with soft hues

And sparking light,

Tinkling my eyes,

In easy twinkling rhythm.

While I watch in awe

And pure delight.

 

In a quick repose,

To catch the breeze’s caress, afresh.

The moon shyly retreats,

Hiding among the laboring

Clouds to rest.

Soon a thousand children,

The cloud’s labor yields

A heavy downpour,

Streaming down,

Flowing slowly like petals,

Descends on the earth

 

Their descent lax and gentle

With pattering drops.

Falling hard freshly

Like ripe fruits

From aging trees

Their voice echoes,

In soft booms of joy

Cascading down the valley

Of old plantain leaves

Humming in celebration

Of a rain, reborn.

Tremendous work. Powerful.

If I had crafted this, then I would be mighty proud .. it has everything a nature poem lover could ask for .. and so much more, I love the image of the those old women humming lost blues notes & the mere mention of the half moon is bang up to date .. all in all I couldn't fault this untitled piece of art ..

Soon a thousand children,
"The cloud’s labor yields
A heavy downpour,
Streaming down,
Flowing slowly like petals,
Descends on the earth"

In the passing of a day and a night passes a generation and then another. The beauty of an entire universe collects in your verses. We may pass but the beauty of our spirit remains. Wonderful poetry.
