Topic: fantasy

Older than Aphrodite,
she sang at the coming of fertility gods
with a voice sweeter than paradise birds who
with sun on the wing would approach and blush
to a queen with no crown but with strings of rubies in tied-back hair.

Stepping through the porticoes of ages
to the secret haunts that nestle
the primordial jungles of Africa
she has set her foot and blessed the land –
no slave traders have ever entered here to debauch
their souls with the sin of Cain, or fortune hunters
who would dip their hearts in
icy baths of diamonds and gold stripping them of human cloth,
leaving nothing but cold embers where
not even the breath of angels could
ignite a fire and bring a thaw.

Not living in the palaces of heaven,
she chooses to walk the earth in prayer –
that love grow among thorns and
truth blossom like the mud orchids
that stand in foul water.

Though she stands in humility’s light; her blood is divine.
So…if you see a veiled queen walking among the groves
careful not to lift her veil and
see her face-to-face

Remember your mortal blood.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
