Baptism Beneath a Chartreuse Moon

Your fiery eyes, pierce my soul; you know me and always have; I am you, as wild and free, a spirit, as existence can provide. In the chartreuse moon’s glare; your stare, draws me into your very soul; I know you will not attack. Last time, in a dream; you gave me your light; we beacons must, work together; to protect our siblings from the blood-letters. Humans are both, gods and devils; to build and destroy is their lot; it’s not without choice. The familiar, a harmony, creates; you stand before me on a dark path; your light beckons and I will listen without apprehension or fear. Teach me; I feel you. The dark night will reveal your godly soul. I caress your furry body; you pierce mine and the pain of enlightenment, is sweet. It’s been said that, “Dog is God, spelled backwards.” The wolf of Heaven has brought me to life.

A luxuriant deluxe ink bathe, ML. This romantic poem in musical parlance is a power ballad song. In the instrumental words of Euge Groove, it's "Too Cool." Magnificent poetry, my dear friend. Love and joy always.

Thank you so much, Freddie; I'm glad you enjoyed the poem. I think that at some point, we all have to go back to Webster; love and peace to you, as well.

Btw ... great title. Ty for dropping the knowledge. I once knew what the word "chartreuse" meant, but over time, I forgot. Had to go back to my trusted friend, the Unabridged Webster Dictionary. lol. Love and peace.

I am picturing a very seductive beauty with a endearing beast who loves her much here in this romantic poem, M.L. For some reason, it hits me as more of a love poem than most of the so-called love poems.

It's about a dog that I once had; some pets are more memorable than others, more endearing. This one was a living angel and has visited me in my dreams. Some pets will do almost anything for their human family members; even in the afterlife because of the love that they have for us. I'm glad that you enjoyed this poem and thanks for commenting.
