Blue Roses
2009 September 25
Robin-eggshell sky blossoming lapis sepals,
billowing cerulean cirrus petals;
azure-iridescent morpho butterfly-wing clusters,
diaphanous-veiling serene center-stamen eyes,
shadow-swept seductive by indigo hurricanes,
swirling deep-ocean midnight desire; a poet’s
offering to the Muse, transcendent, defying death,
endless as a river of love immortal,
flowing forever deeper, penetrating mauve
grottoes of yearning-hearts’ servitude,
vena cava blood-rushing indigo,
tattooing the soul violet, lavender-piercing Night,
opened scarlet, mortally wounded, resurrected
by a blue-hour dawn’s eternal promise
to be the one and only one,
her Adam, his Eve; Eden’s naked outcasts,
now heirs defiant, reclaiming paradise lost,
as equals in the midst of Omnipotence.
A beautiful exploration of muse and moods through hues of blue.
The beauty and depth of this poem is amazing. The words chosen are like a melody flowing into adventure of the heart and soul.
