Medicean Star

Medicean Star by ~Sophia~

At dawn (in the dreamy draw) where
quicksilver breaks the hypnotic wake
of a cinnabar sun and the last star exhales

a violet wind – where an ironwood stands
against the backlit sky, naked bent, disciples
swirling at its feet (in the dreamy draw)

I can reach into Io’s mountain veins
gather pure vermilion, float the pigment
in my eyes and smudge crimson on its
midnight limbs – cry an indigo rain

in the mercury rising of a painted moon
in the dreamy draw (I wait)

Wow! Where was your head when you wrote this one, Sophia? Breathtaking images and I love the play with parenthesis.

[~Sophia~]

Same place yours is most of the time firefangled... beyond the clouds! Thank you.

Lovely, Sophia; I totally agree with FF here in the breathtaking imagery. :)

I'm not sure what it's saying, but you create a lovely dreaming.

Hi qim and thanks. Think I'll just let everyone interpret their own way!
