Feast Of Summer Moons

 

Tonight and all over the earth,

there is merriment.

Cocky birds will dance

at  maske and vest.,

and many times at best

I have dreamt of this

in sadness

still to awake with laughter

within my breast.

and yet

beyond these lids

and lashes,

the world is

still our oyster,

whether it be hailed

by sighing violins

or paired by

charmed footsteps.

 

Madame Butterfly;

my cupid kills in arrows

and so grieves her;

her Puccini,

should love speak

beyond a reasonable

torment of expectation.

 

Let her feast then

beneath the moons

soft with light and

with souls as bright

as sunlight, brilliant

 upon the water

 bound not

by counterfeits of passion,

 having railed

 so long at love,

that it does seem to

have become a habit.

 

Whisper again

 to a virgin night,

that dreams with

eyes wide open,

and sails to a song within.

 

Love is ancient and ageless and

hearts will remain young

 forever,

for which men and women

will hunger, 

because, amor ,

sweet amor 

is a  feast and

fit for summer moons.

A very tantalizing theme attached to a prose dripping with mystery and romanticism.And that accompanying picture that you chose for this piece was captivating and ethereal.
Stunning!...

"having railed

Well said and well written. I can relate to this stanza so closely that it almost made me uncomfortable (glad those days are over...). This poem has so many lines I would love to quote and comment on, but if I did, I would be writing all night... Wonderful poetry, this is. I was particularly impressed with the Madame Butterfly and Puccini references. It adds intelligence and class to an already stellar write. Beautiful in every sense of the word.

"Whisper again
to a virgin night,
that dreams with
eyes wide open,
and sails to a song within." --- That is enchanting, gorgeous, and so delicately conveyed. This poem is a beautiful trophy to soulful romanticism. I was spirited away as I read through the touchingly genuine and colorful gems of your poetic expression- it seems you are a very compassionate and reflective person, this really shines through in your work. Very thoughtful and lovely write, I really enjoyed it.
