SATURN GOD OF TIME

Saturn ! You magnetised with enchanting icy rings promised white gold endless skates on Chrysalis circled cates said we would go round like fairy rings said you had so much Love to give I would never go wanting nor be mere interstellar dove to shove said we were a pair to helium share winds to dare ! One ring lemon yellow smiles metallic miles I sensed a wilyness my eyes glued with symphonic hues ears clouded with vapour vestments dew one ring like a Mexican hat I wore in Gaia’s spring my crown shut with Sun I did not know it was one of your cunning Cronus smoke jokes ! I decided that perhaps you were the One I was sorrowfully seeking skated and skated round we swirled like with Sufis I once danced pranced in Arabian curls cloaked in silk super strappy whorls Pandora and Prometheus peeping for your weeping Zeros and ones your fire worked its magic in purple gold bronze emerald green higher and higher Saturnalia feasting I drunk from your luminous circles for centuries on end capture complete with roundabouts to reap my liquid pure and sweet I fed your unquenchable thirst until I was but a ping with my purity you sang in frequencies only Lord Divine could endure some more veils galore It was all a dissolution trick ! You ! Master of Time structure systems laws trickery manifestation jaws You ! Master of Revelry manipulation magic maidens Saturn ! You sucked me sly dropped me dried out skate from Sky to outskirts of Earth impoverished fate, Celestial mythical mate ! I fell onto a rock in a desert bleeding, serpents slithering Nobody was seeking a scuttled sickle from above my palms upturned to your luminous circles, loops circumferenced gift girdles mischievous you grinned other grand skaters now anew, that enticing Mexican hat askew Goddess Rhea never knew Saturn ! From far below I saw you imbibe my babes with their lovely smiles in tipsy tow skaters unawakened in a spectacular spindly show so talented taken with naughty nymphs your ammonia victims Wait bright circled Planet of law lightning those endless skating cleared my eyes from starry glue so true ice skating diminished my Sun to see Dark mystery when Moon Titan its beauty cursory hidden Centuries of skating signified no more hating vapour dew cleared from ears for your throaty thrills chilled my fears becoming your red cloak frills dissipated black hole bills To Sophia Gaia I could return Saturn sheer oil sealed ! babes relinquished peeled they too will see as Jupiter chains you indeed !

Ay Inky ! I do enjoy & appreciate your feedback. U are too kind. They are definitely not my forte. They just come to me when I write. I would still need a lot of practice before my poems are as seamless as yours. U make my day. Congratulations on your wins too. Much love. Perhaps some day we can meet in 3D. Who knows ? W
