She Sings In Secret Symphonies -

As my youth goes yonder her beauty says to me yet, bet, yea, in my mouth the word beautiful becomes a flavor of valor, she likes to whisper moments of sad love & tender tragedy into the ears of quiet poets as they trace the perfection of the Present with quills dipped in the tails of comets destin for drama, as you walk wantonly along trails her melody invites she'll scorn with a question of why are you here with her then the nails she sharpens with teeth of nuture will attach One to a cross of commitment, a relic of costly consumption, because she must have you as a shadow must have a soul to follow within the humiliation of Light, as an owl finds comfort in the concealment of night, so subtle in admission of affection although profuse in protection of the Ones she charms, sensitivity she cannot escape, always hurting to be an angel, born to be a Princess with feet in mud and eyes on the stars, deserving dreams of diamonds cast on diadems while living to endure harsh humanity an adequate lover her timeframe will accept, quotes from adolescence she repeats romanticaly, 'Love me in the heat, love me on the ice, defend me from the cheat, define me despite the price', alone in her desire I am the champion of her fire - J.A.B.

Some fine alliteration here. I think you meant "destined" in the fifth line. Have you read much Tolkien? He wrote some fine alliterative poetry. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

I do not like the sound or feel of 'destined' so I'll keep the original spelling - I do appreciate your thoroughness though - thanks for the reference Matthew - up to this stage in my life I have only study and enjoyed non fiction scholarship, although I have read and respect the poetry of Emily Dickinson - alliteration makes fine music and emotion; so glad you noticed - J.A.B. %

Are you talking about a she - demon here? I really liked the last four lines of this. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

Demon is just another word for a hurting soul Matthew - this composition is communicating love between eternal principles and the flesh my friend - I respect your enquiry, your intuition - J.A.B. %

You are a fierce creature Laura - owls have unparalelled beauty in their camoflague, they are predatory, reclusive, see in the dark, and beautiful - I can understand why you are attracted to them - J.A.B. %

I'd love to hear more of her secret symphonies, Justin. I like PD's comment-"your words burn". They do but it is a nice burn. I agree with the rest as well. Beautiful, beautiful work. Very impressed. Always, Laura

I wish I could endure all the diamonds I once had... i hate humanity... and where it all ends... glad you are there for her desires, ..i like this line the most... ""sensitivity she cannot escape, always hurting to be an angel, born to be a Princess with feet in mud and eyes on the stars,"" that is how I feel at times... anyways, I'm not saying I am this poem.. but, I love it, and your words burn.... and I love it!!!

Humanity can be quite repulsive, and repugnant to virtue - we all have our missions to explore and pain to endure my Sphinx - your passion is exquisite and severe PD., and I love you for the inspiration you instill - your courage and confidence will not allow you to accept failure - I thank you for the joy you share - J.A.B. %
