Born of the muse's breath
to soar through the souls of life
and bring them cause to smile and tear
where the heart beats
with innocence,
but clothed without passion's warmth.
Eternally empowered to slip into mind
the precious plumes from divine love,
that mortals would rise
above the simple search for survival
where one feels clouds are magic
having keys to gardens unseen
brought to life amid the clamor of beats.
Cherub drifts from sunrise to sunrise
always ready to give his song
unto the tides flowing in the veins
who discover in others a hand to caress.
His notes flutter in the mind,
awaken the sleeper swaying in solitude's hammock,
giving them reason to want more
than a stroll in the shadows, silent and alone.
By sacred celestial psalm his voice
will reach into the depths of secrets,
bringing forth the treasures guarded,
until wings of affection sprout on naked beings,
so they can fly as always intended.
Once a year, his labors zenith in the glory felt,
when the pearls of his bow
pierce most intensely
while lovers are glued to their embrace
by the mystical call of February Fourteenth.
