James Marshall Goff Poet Couplet

The Gilded Mirror

The Gilded Mirror


I hold my dreams inside my past
Where moonlight glows on rivers fast

And raging temples built in haste
Will dissipate, no longer chaste

O the anthems proud men froze
In gilded frames of priestly pose

Release my shackles! bound inside
My beating heart, where fears reside

At dawn the grassy pond will sing
In silent praise! My endless spring!

John Freeman June 23, 2010 at 11:02 AM Congratulation James, on a worthy poem success, not only in the contest, but also with it's spiritual insight into the pose of fleshly priestly, natural form. Yes, yes, release my shackles of mindly pose, and let my paranormal free of this earthy illusion. Agape, Moses
