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.
