Short Zephyrus Poems

Instinct flashes
  past the speed of light

Intuition imploding
  Zephyrus’ delight

Detached from its fuel source
  tale on fire

The comets direction
  —reversed and inspired

All alone, Beautifully 
Caressing, Daring
Eventually, Fading
Gifted, Honest
Intentions, Justly
Kind, Lavishing
Majestic Notions
Opon Puple Petals
Quietly Singing
To the Utterly Vacant
Wind, Xcitingly
Yearning 
Zephyrus

ZEPHYR

As the Greek God of the west wind
I am Zephyrus, my home is Thrace
Bringing life for the seasonal rebirth
With a neutral colour of blueish plum
I can blow hard but softer than some
Yet vital for growth across this earth
As wind, I’m air but without a trace
Into the East with whom I’m twinned

Through narrow channels in
Only darkness keeps coming
Single thought in mind
Eyes closed and blind

Ugly scars, blisters 
From paths that leads to no return 
Zephyrus blows to east
Numbness, natures evil twist 

Nothing is a sin
No end no begins
Starless skies 
Moonless nights 

Eyes closed and blind
Single thought in mind...

Oh Zephyrus, sweet Zephyrus,
westerlies' bouquet nectarous
lilac layered flirtations sail
wings whimsical whiff my skin pale
butterfly kisses generous..

music you breathe melodious
chorus of wind-chimes feverous
sounds, symphonic in gentle flail,
oh Zephyrus..

hands breezy - touch me delicious
flowers long-stemmed dance capricious
exhales enchanting do prevail
sighs satisfying without fail
licks sweeping softly amorous,
oh Zephyrus....

Blackened tendrils take the trees,
Take the skin by follicle,
Empty matter, pushed debris,
Pressed and parabolical. 

Zephyrus claims, lack of choice,
Echoes through the aether,
Chaos calms his quiet voice,
To suffer with the weather. 

Windows shutter, clap in tune,
Aeolus purring bag and pipe,
Uilleann iron, aural rune,
Despite aptitude and gripe.

Nonetheless the Iris slims,
To folded air in lack of light,
Cluttered ever in the whims,
To that which chances sight....

Invisible power
mighty strength,
force of Nature
fearing of no earthly being.

Whipping, ripping, howling -
those inhuman sounds;
gentleness, soothing -
like holding a newborn.

Civilizations have honored you -
Aeolus, Zephyrus, 
Aquilo, Auster...
Gods - Greek and Roman.

We build towers to harness you,
birds to ride you,
tunnels to beat you,
structures to withstand you.

You alone mystify us, 
entrance us, defy us...
invisible force, mighty force -
Nature's strength....
