Ariane: A dream, a fire, a butterfly
Your lips were boats of roses
Hair, the fire of life
————————–
The voice of spring, of freedom
Laden with the aromas of pines,
Sounding like a dove cooing another
I fell into your soul, into the chasm of dream
————————–
Your blood
As if an endless army brought happiness
To the stronghold of oblivion
in the depths of my heart
————————–
My blue, tearful world faded into
bright shades of scarlet skies
emerald forests
————————–
Sunlight entered the gate
of your amber necklace
and your rose fell into
my soul’s garden
————————–
But your eyes didn’t gaze on my isle, my ocean
they longed for him
————————–
Your thoughts, paper airplanes
found refuge
In the green ink letters
of his notes
————————–
Two blue flowers of those eyes
slept on the plain of his chest
Your heart’s star electrified his soul
Leaving in me the violet darkness
————————–
Sorrow drowns my vessel of kisses
and my butterfly doesn’t
perch next to yours
on the cherry tree of love
————————–
Sleeping in the silver, dreamy cedar
the moon painted
AJ. Gentle, romantic, mature disclosure as an Ode to Ariane. The author may not have become the central love figure in the author’s life, but if the author keeps presenting poetry like this to other ladies the author will have many, many Arianes in the author’s life. Les femme, les femme, toujours les femme. The sweetness of the feminine gender poses a welcome (yet transitory) refuge to a longing heart leaving the eternal dilemma and challenge: pursue the pleasures of the worldly flesh or purse the bliss of the transcendent Soul. Or take a little time for refuge in order to know personally which is best. Happy trails AJ. I’m enjoying your journey and appreciate being able to ponder your creations. ; )
