Harvest of Osyter Pearls

her ethereal gaze tucked me into nirvanic waves tore me asunder amid quixotic abyss and seraphic throe  I harvest pearls from mollusks in swimming oysters  strip it in kaleidoscopic iris fiercely fleeced mote sand pearls evolved into a sumptuous elixir necklace a seashell conceals a jewel-like hair as dark as obsidian pristine girl with a pearl necklet and mellifluous voice with her smile flings delicate pearls her eyebrows cling to me beckoning me near  abrim with tears cleansed her azure iris I tidied her sylphlike trail some sobs stuffed a cup It soaked roses threw daffodil pearls bit jujubes with hail hence my previously sealed heart thawed a phoenix in its zenith sweeps me to skies  In a cosmic splay studded with stars I dwell her wispy eyelashes distract me from her gaze she eviscerates dumbfounds me with dark detritus may my love ram-raid and induce her to ponder again

SP, this seems to me to be a bit dreamlike. The pearls seem to have a magic effect. I am not an oyster biologist, but I think they have hairs of some kind...it would not surprise me. It's as if there is a spirit looking out and on the behalf of the pearls that is affecting the diver. It's no small matter harvesting living creatures.

a genuinely unique poem (in a positive way), dear Sotto. Such beautiful words and exquisite vocabulary. I especially liked these lines: my previously sealed heart thawed a phoenix in its zenith sweeps me to skies In a cosmic splay studded with stars I dwell her wispy eyelashes distract me from her gaze Wishing you a pleasant evening, your poetess friend in Texas, Sara
