Sramana Mittra Poet Lyric

Crescent

CRESCENT


                       I think of your downy curls
                            On nights like these,
                      Enveloped in rich darkness and agony.
    The nights when the moon howls, and the wolves cower in silence,
                   In reminiscences of our tantalizing love!
          The black abyss has swallowed the silver maiden today,
              And has strangled her cries of love and death!
             But her crescent is bursting with silver radiance!
      Like the fierce Maenad, is she dancing her reckless dance!
                    Shooting silver fire and fiendish love!
               While you and I stare on, lost and estranged,
             Soaking in the silver tears of the Crying Crescent.

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Poet Destroyer A March 18, 2016 at 8:19 AM Sramana,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
