Pearl Moon Blooms

Written: February 27, 2024
               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dwindling diamond daub, an amber
glittering glow
diaphanous verism of glass 
and yet…
wreathed in wisteria-washed linden
a glimpse of
moon-pearled butterflies
fluttering beyond
seventh sky
fine shone ivory organza
faintly floats
in flowy grey garment
 
              because...
 the mirror failed 
                      to release her

Watch the whispering wind
of crestfallen Luna
serenade sonatas to 
the saffron sun, 
elegance bewilders as a spell
whilst imbued in
Tuscan fuchsia flowers
plated in opalescent enamel
healing in her
sanguine sanctuary 
& silvery smooth skin
she is the spirit of Aphrodite
soaked in ivory color
her tears metamorphosing 
of...
               ogdoads 
                           daffodils.

Venus waltzing with Earth
zeal of unbreakable bond,
floral fragrance felicity
an ageless love tale
sweet lullaby tweets
billets-doux
texts spanning the world 
bien sûr we love
extravagance in empathy
exulansis excluded eternally
hunting for heavenly harmony
swirl in seraphic space
as Dahlia sighs reach
esoteric eyes of lotus Luna
breathing silence
virtuoso ululation
for...
        a friendship circle.

Daniel Henry Rodgers February 29, 2024 at 4:34 PM Dear Sotto, you paint a stunning picture, a symphony of light and grace. The moonlit butterflies, the whispered serenades, and the blossoming spirit of Aphrodite all create a spellbinding tale. The final line, "a friendship circle," beautifully encapsulates the poem's essence, leaving me with a sense of warmth and hope. Simply breathtaking. Bravo! - Blessings, Daniel

David Kavanagh February 28, 2024 at 2:46 AM Hey Lasaad, we’re all under the influence of the moon tonight, and under the influence of your metaphoric alliteration too, what a beautiful descriptive piece, with words rarely seen in poetry, (some I had to look up) well beyond my pay grade lol! Thank you for enlightening and introducing me to such words and artistry, brilliant! cheers David
