~ Venus and Mars ~

As the stars cross this brumous night ~

Standing here with these white washing tides

Carrying away the sands beneath my feet

Glancing beyond the repetitious of this champagne sea

Swells amid the rifts now rising....

Before my thoughts and inside of my heart

Communing with a chromatic collage of endless faces ~

This colloquy within my own souls revelations

As the mist before my eyes begins to clear

And the lighthouse of truth, as truth is, begins to appear

Castaway phantoms walking upon the waters

Beckoning unto me all of their beauties ~

Their irreplaceable hopes and dreams....

Transcending the tangibles, amid an unproportional world 

The relevancies of every life, speaking unto me 

As a warm tear rolls down my face

While Jupiter explodes, before my eyes ~

Impaling my spirit with these impeccable purities....

Sublime; as I walk further into the swishing swirling currents

Toward the fathoms of acceptances understandings

Taking their precious hands, as the moon smiles upon their, glow ~

Born anew, within this panoramic and palindrome view....

Embracing their beating breathing hearts~These creations!

Turning back the tides of time; castaways no more

For it is all of life that I see now, deep inside the splendor

The wonders of whom they are, each, as a precious jewel ~

Awakened, amid these implosive clarities....

As the stars cross the fading brumous night

Standing here with the white washing tides

Carrying away the sands beneath my feet, forever ~

Glancing beyond the repetitions of this champagne sea 

Phantasms of once thought lore, smiling as they come alive

Lessons learned, and shifting dunes, of truths unfold....

While these rubies as tears, fall, from the corners of my sight

Marking my cheeks, unto their graves of what used to be

Slightly quivering lips; as these endless wells of emotion, arise inside

Realizing, how much I truly care, for each and every one, of their lives ~

Mars, now embracing Venus with, an everlasting kiss....

                       ~ Of ~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

           ~ Unconditional Love! ~

Hi, John. Talk about imagination. This is a great trip, a realization, inspiration within imaginationl. I will read it again and again, Thanks for your comments. The poem you read is Moussorgsky's "Night on Bare Mountain" set to rhyme. Nothing personal, just some writing fun. Love, daver

Hi John. Thank you for your comment on my poem That Night. It meant a lot since it has been a while since I've written poems because of my busy schedule. I've been reading through your poems, this one I particularly like because of the vivid and beautiful imagery. Great one John. Take Care. ~Andrea Bianca. :)

My Dearest John you never stop showing me true talent as rare as a gem in a dark cave. You are romance wrapped in understanding ! Your voice screams to be noticed! And I see it clearly just a wonderful write this is indeed! Love Laura :) I think I have a love affair with your work!

Hey John! This piece swirls with imagery and symbolism. There is something romantically magical about the tides that roam beneath a starlit night. "Mars", the god of war who nourishes and protects."Venus",goddess of beauty and love. Small wonder why the tides are so restless. Surely Mercury, who recieves and processes perceptions, helps to maintain this "Unconditional Love"? This write feels tender and serene..Beautifully done! God's blessing to you and yours...Love to you, Mikki

I just commented on this but it is so rich and lovely, it can be read over and over! Thank you for your thoughtful words, John. I know that write was harsh but I wrote it for the contest from something I had written last summer when I was going through a rough time with my depression. I believe that God understands my depression & he gave me the abiityto write out these feelings & get rid of the. Thank you always, John, for your words of faith and wisdom. (John 3:16) Love, Robin

I love the way you bring Venus (women) and Mars (men) together "with an everlasting kiss!" The use of planets to convey human traits is intriguing throughout this great work, John! I shall be sending you a soup mail regarding prophecies. Love, Carolyn

My dear, John, thanks for reading my poem. In this poem of titled planetary, I see the new mythology of the genders coming from different places, it must be a powerful force then that brings the aliens to kiss. You, Sir, are a very scholar, and a great writer. God bless you

Deeply provocative thoughts, my friend, a philosophy beyond mere peace stretched by exploration of self and beyond. I enjoy this with a slow reading like sipping on pina colada. Love

This is filled wth such beautiful ans clear imagery, John! The depth of your emotions is tangible and your love for your fellowman shines through. Unconditional love, the love for us that God has for us and so He gave us Christ to raise us from the dead so we can share an eternity of love. hat is what this write makes me think of. Excellent work, my friend! (Revelation 1:1-8) Love always, Robin
