incantation Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 A flower that has Roots in both heaven And earth. She is lit Within by moonlight From night swimming with Mermaids. God would Offer heaven for her beauty To create new worlds out Of it's symmetry. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Barry, How beautiful is this? I'm really surprised no one commented on this. It is musical, the content flows with grace.

David W. Parsley Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Thanks for the bump, Assaf. I have been meaning to return to this one. There is such simple elegance in this ethereal lyric. It is both classic (in the very, very best sense) and movingly vibrant. There is a Pygmalion ecstasy about the poem that touches the deepest quaking felt when considering the elegant virtues of that Beauvoirian Other, the unutterable grace that possesses the Feminine in the body of Creation and of one individual Beloved. Beguilingly accessible, this piece is one of your most quick and rapturous yet, Barry. Thank you. Thank you. - David 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
