Sun's Betrayal

Whored the moon

   'neath ravaged warm tides,

whence snowflakes caught fire

  channeling sea's frothy surrender

              in a vast edgy drink on

                    the brink of a vengeful rush,

  whilst frigid oceans deviated mid murky

        depths of aimless asylum harbors,

whorling faster to catch up with breaks of dawn

           blistering under betrayal of the sun

Such a beautifully penned poem, Paloma. Your poetic imagination was in overdrive w/this masterpiece. You write poems like the great ones of yesterday's lore. Elegant and expressive as all outdoors. Touche. Love and joy and more love to you. RW

How I missed this one I don't know, I must've been in the dark or something. Betrayed by the sun, nothing but clouds and gloomy skies are looming when what you need is a bright beautiful day. Damn sun...you can't trust it. This was sad and lonely but beautifully written Paloma.

No worries Chris, this site can be somewhat confusing. I'm sure I've missed a few myself. Many thanks!
