A Plight of Fancy

By Benj

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I have taken the oath of innocenceand drank the wine of eternal youth,I have erased lonelinessfrom my extended vocabularyand replaced it with love,security, and spiritual knowledge,I have been fed from the sacred plateby, as such, a sacred hand;lit the binding flame of passionand danced with an angelto the sweet sounds of Israfil,and above thatI have sought, and found,the completion of my puzzled thoughtswith the cure of my scarred heart,She is of heavens moldwith beauty of the suns greatest prisms,An aura of springs first rose,a voice as calming as the watersthat caress the shores on peaceful nights,A smile more vibrant than the rays of life,I have waded into the sea,jumped into the mighty ocean,and set sail on a vesselheading for a horizonthat shall never be reached.2000, Written October 8th, 2001 © on Oct 08 2001 06:46 AM PST   18 • 0 • 8
