Persephone

The conclave efflorescence
Within a verdant equinox
Dancing in the fiery heat
Fictitious to Our Glass clocks.

And in this angelic indifference
A turbulent serenity is generated and
In the heart of this illustrious image,
The smallest stem stretches grand.


         A gathering of flowers
             A “stronghold” on powers
        A sanctuary on grass
             And immunity to showers


                                                                  My dearest Persephone,
                                                             My longest desire,
                                                        My inner-most fear,
                                                    My heart you inspire,


Ring-around-the-rosy
The fields are cramped and cozy.
The passion plays
In these bouquets

The flowers blossom
The flowers wither

And grow in green and gray.
