Listen closely as Zephyr plays the harp,
solar strings from the daily knit web
as Uranus stares from the azure
behind silky breaths of hundredth sighs
{hidden in fascination}
Gaia smiles from behind flowered veils
as Thalo weaves sonnets from spring,
sending threads of invisible kisses,
sweet ambrosia fragrance.
{distant caress}
His serenade echoes through
time’s palette, while Chronus paints
golden day over onyx night in cycles,
until Augoustos sits on his throne,
{raw and sensual}
Hear how Notos dances on lightning
and Auxo bathes in his storm filled sweat
there in the solitary field,
yet untouched and drowned by rain,
{you shall see}
Feverish storm of whipping dust as Uranus pulls
Gaia with whirling hurricane paws holding
weak and refined bronze hands,
a seasoned fraction of shared affection
{before they part once more}

This is a thrill for me almost beyond words...
lifting Earth and Air to astral horizons and
mythical proportions! Such a fascinating journey
that encouraged emotional response with each
stanza; with each portrait in parenthesis.
What a sensual dream to read & reread...always
with rapt focus. Blue
