~* Sacred Lullaby ~*

Missing image

 

 

 

 

Neptune nudged his steeds awake,
prepared to heighten waves,  greet horizon
with salted swells as premonition
stirred the watery oasis, clouded transparency
amidst Sanctuary beneath liquid breath;
Archangels expressed as Eden in a bubble.

Supreme Council summoned creatures of the sea
to escort treasure trove upon arrival

while on the shores of Petra tou Romiou,
ivory foam from the seas, rose and ascended
towards grains refined by rays of Light,
tossed within winds that prophesied change.

Ripples remained constant and gulls circled
to announce birth of Goddess

when God of the Seas expelled a hymn for her.
Blessed all to experience Deity's essence
within their Mortal veins.

Abalone shell shucked, lined with rich kelp
for Divinity's daybed with pearls strung together.
Strands weaved from water's whisper,
collected by Mermaids, coiled and initialed;
each one with V for Venus.

Seagulls squawked of news,
                                      separated in four directions-


In a nether of nakedness,  she slept
unblemished under achromatic shape-shifters
as her hymn embraced his Sacred lullaby.

    I really need to set anchor before I read your
    beautiful work. I am continually being blown away
    and it is difficult to make it back to comment.

    I loved this poetic myth (or is it?) that you
    have penned. As always your aliteration is suppurd and your soft flowing imagery is sensational!!!!!

    bows to the goddess. Yup, your secret is out Dad told me so



    love,
    Delila
