My Pegasus

 

 

 

 

 

My Pegasus

 

It must have been moon-glow intoxication

entering my soul one lonely night,

a night when I thought all was lost in heaven

and earth, when I could no longer stand my

loveless existence ~

 

The ink black sky opened in a burst of

gold and rainbow colours clambering

to embrace this lonely poetess

whose pen had dried like the shell of a fallen

star exposed to uncertain elements of

a changeable cosmos ~

 

You, my saviour of the night

keeper of my dreams

rescuer of this woman locked in a castle 

high on the rugged cliffs of loneliness

overlooking an angry sea

ready to drown all hopes ~

 

You came in answer to my call

I never gave up that the Gods’ would hear

my prayers carried in whispers on

wings to your heart "

 

Come my Pegasus...

ride across the heavens

your home of uncountable stars

with your golden bridle of love

to the precious place in my heart

held only for you ~

O! My God. I've been waiting to hear from you. You came with this original voice and imagery recreated. Stanza three really touched and remaind me of your seemly absent from the cafe. And been awken by a Pegasus probably the muse behind your creativity. Your metaphor, personifiation are all recognized and superb to the intecllection memory. As if you've been in a solitary confirnment waiting to be brust or drown all hope like you said. O! Helena, I must confess, I enjoyed this great poem. Welcome back. Well written.

Wow.....thank you so much! I am truly humbled by your words. Sorry it has taken so long in replying to your wonderful comment.....I just sort of flit from pillar to post nowadays....but I truly must land sometime and I think it is about time I settled down here again. Thanks again for reading and leaving your kind heart prints behind. Love and Light Helena :)

Such a beautiful poem. Thanks for creating a lovely piece and sharing it.

I was taken by this as if I was looking at the constellation... and reading this aloud... I'm a believer in such mythical creatures... only if they were true... a whole new meaning would change... not saying I'd like all of them to be real...

[LaVonneTheLovely]

Quite beautiful imagery! It almost felt as if I were there gazing into the cosmos myself.

[Keith]

Beautiful words Helena. Lovely to stumble across an Aussie in the Cafe.

[quinfinn]

it is difficult to imagine why i haven't discovered your poetry earlier. this is very engaging, demonstrates a well thought out scenario and absolutely classical metaphor...highly romantic and embellished with beautiful and descriptive imagery. i am deeply impressed by the raw, natural style and the honest to goodness beauty of this write. superb!
