Guiltless

• 

 

 You are in the gazebo of my dreams

                beneath a canopy of mimosa

and you are the light within the moon,

                against whose flame

no winds will prosper~

 

A turbulent sea could never

                shun the echo of the stars

in the luster of night,

                as passion undresses

                                the sarong of a guiltless affair~

 

 The stark nakedness

                of defiance consumes

the glare of reality,

                as my silver tongue unclasps

beads of pearly white~

i like the personification of "passion"---it has its own mind and heart...

Thank you very much Jacob...and i'm glad to see you are back...I saw you were in NC with your parents...hope everything is okay...Rose:)

Guiltless...Who can question a heart that beats for a reason- love?
In some ways, love has made man into a different creation. And we cannot blame anyone for what he feels...just like that person to be guilty or not.

Nice one, Rose.

[SyberRose]

Thank you for visiting tonight D....I do appreciate it..Rose:)

Such lovely imagery, soft and wisp like on your page Rose, an enchanting read...

A turbulent sea could never
shun the echo of the stars
in the luster of night,
as passion undresses
the sarong of a guiltless affair~

Love that stanza! Outstanding.

[SyberRose]

Very much so, my pleasure Rose. :-)

This is a very sensuous poem, liberating indeed with near immaculate poetic imagery and descriptive detail which builds to a thrilling climax !

Stimulating poem in every sense and a beautiful flowering plant on view too boot, perhaps it is the said mimosa tree?

[SyberRose]

thank you so much Tom...happy you enjoyed this piece...Perhaps...:)

[Stella Armour]

[SyberRose]

[Tate Morgan]

Damn Catholic church instilled the meaning of it with a paddle when i was young. I remember once getting into a fight in 3rd grade None of my friends ratted me out but each boy in the class took a whipping for me as they decided to whip us all for good measure. LOL NUNS GO FIGURE

[SyberRose]

i'm glad they were mean or I wouldn't have met my best friend...her mom took her out of the Catholic school and sent her to public school because the nun pulled her hair haa...

[Tate Morgan]

Oh yeah they had a sadistic nature that was hell bent on putting the fear of god in us little heathens

[SyberRose]

You were a cute little heathen you and your friends...especially the one with the middle finger sticking up for the camera haa

[Tate Morgan]

Yeah Kerny he was a fun partner and real son of satan lol

[Tam Warink]

A most evocative write. I'm always dubious when I read simile and metaphor but I find these have a ring of truth and an unforced existence in this delicate watercolor of words. Nicely done.

[SyberRose]

Thank you Tam...and i'm so happy you enjoyed this piece...:) thanks for peeking in today.

[Tam Warink]
