Eclipse

peto

I've seen some truly wondrous sights 

Total eclipse the northern lights 

I've held a hatching turtle in my hand 

A rare blue moon and one blood red

Creatures upon an ocean bed

A mother nurse her newborn baby lamb

 

I witnessed this magnificence 

Pale into insignificance 

And all she had to do was flash a smile 

She looked me in the eye and said 

I'm not expecting us to wed

But let's indulge each other for a while 

 

By the arm I was taken 

A feeling of bliss 

In my head 

Was a loosening vice

 

In her arms I was given 

A velvety kiss 

She had led me 

Into paradise

              I found that reading this poem aloud gave it a whole new dimension. Speak it quickly and feel its intensity. Speak it slowly and savour every nuance of its beauty. Stunning!

              • peto

                'I witnessed this magnificence
                Pale into insignificance'
                To have such a deep love and reverence for a person is so beautiful, yet incredibly difficult I imagine. Your poetry always describes the visceral dichotomy so incredibly. Sometimes discreetly sometimes raw, all times brilliant!
