I.

You whisper'd something to the rain
Standing on the water, as holy as a crane
Tucked behind, your wingspan, a mere fifty feet wide
A deep-burning pair of Virgilian eyes

II.

I vow to retrieve your cry
My Night, shapeless and ghost-eyed
Feigning Life, in the half-light

III.

O sweet, voiceless breeze
Come swift and cool my tea
with hands, ever-saintly

IV.

It thunders and howls
Wonders and scowls
All of God's fears,
measured on your brow

V.

Fading seers, plant Life in clay
The hallowed Sophia
Crumbling to the sound:
Revelation, perpetually drown'd

VI.

Orpheo, tripping in the Deep
The Shores of Styx
Deftly kissing his feet

i like this it has an epic feel to it and such raw visuals

Thanks, I've taken to short poems for some reason, maybe listening to too much Webern

It's Salvation that you want.
:icongreenemegan:
I and VI are my favorites. The length of these poems is perfect. You do short without coming across as lazy, which is pretty talented.

Thanks, those are probably the ones I'm most comfortable with.
