Aerobiosis

Vapors part yellow skies gave way to cosmic dust
echoing winds part there an attenuate mortal
staggers, reels, his pewter-like frame seems to rust
celestial chimes stir as his weakness becomes fatal

A gust billows; an angelic form resurrects the vanquished soul
feathered touches to his brow; treacly kisses; caressed to her breast
scents of lilies float as his guarding Angel emits spirit-like halitus
orgasmic life stirs through golden clouds; now, he - a mortal whole

Author notes

Words are important tools; learning new ones I always enjoy. Here are some new ones I learned today:

aerobiosis: Life sustained in the presence of air or oxygen.

attenuate: faded; weakened.

treacly: saccharine,syrupy.

halitus: exhalation.

    I don't know if you are aware, but the tapering of verse is similarly to that known in astronomical terms as the butterfly effect, one which shows slight at first, then at the end shows much change. Where you start with the obvious vapours, you then proceed to the elements that go ahead and do something about it. and the words you';ve selected are very much pronounced obvious to a spacial callibration. Your title is very obvious that what this poem could be about is evolution which as it sustains, is affected by other issues, well, that's how deep I see it anyway. Good Luck, and best wishes, Tony

      Thank you -

      Tony the element of words becomes (to me) often a treasure the scope of definition you have given is wonderfully on target you are so right this work is about evolution and yes, there are many forms of evolution, osmosis, change, the depth of meaning often is mislaid. Yet, it seems this cannot escape your wonderful expertise

      Wishing you much success in all of your endeavors and happiest Holidays!
