Aristotelis

By Corinthian






I have baptized my eyes
So
no one else
 
but him

my eyes can see




His noiseless step
Upon me like sleeping birds


he touched my darkened soul
holy white....

 

wind shadowing over his invisible  dreams

 

like nightdrops in my  bright blue trees
dreaming and trembling
underneath this nightingale moon


sleep.listening
to the soothing chimes

chanting  on
sapphire walks

By this infant .seraph
with
aquarium.
night.wood.eyes 

and 
fauna.flower hair
 

falling beams
bow their white
breasts

to the 

moon-blue moth 

that

kiss them all the night
in skies of gold firelight



 and fold me into sleep

  • A former member wrote: "...aquarium night.wood.eyes..." oh my, to stare into such eyes time would stop and darkness kiss the day alive. No woman is whole without a child. Thank you, Corinthian.

    une Sainte aux yeux bleus. Telle sur le vitrail de mon coeur je t'ai peinte, Ma romanesque aimée,

  • A former member wrote: exquisitely painted as a ceiling of pale dawn... i dream about lying on my back and watching it with you as it slides from your fingers and your throat. perhaps i can burn the edges or mingle my own heaven with yours. i sense your heart's tides intimately. i love this for you as a sister might.

    the moon blue moth..the holy water baptismal even. ..like a memory unfolding..a day to remember enveloped in this night of a poem.. hues of blue,ivory and sunless walks..enchanting in the journey..sight and sounds to sleep....
