Charon
By: Chie Theresa Fujioka on 10/22/2001; 12:35 PM

*An experiment*


My love lies in the sweet tall grass
her hair adorned with flowers
wild like the deep pools of her eyes
stormy and calm as days pass


her lips speak words cool like water
trickling slowly from a mountain spring
her smile is sunrise of delight
the kiss of the eve's daughter


Where do you go, my love?
-I go to my destiny


What is that, my love?
-To be wed to the night.


Why do you leave me, my love?
-You are poor and I cannot love you.


My love, do not abandon me!
-Your love is rank and tedious to me.


But the King of night is cold. He has no love in his eye though his words pour out sweet honeyed music.
-The king of the night has offered me riches


My love is greater than the King's.
-You do not give an opal the size of my face and I do not care for your love.


-To him I go.


her lashes are dusted with the finest dew
closed against her cheek
and her hands clutch the last bloom
which slowly loses its rosy hue

This was a very good poem and actually reminds me of some poems that I read last year in Mrs. Oulton's class. Did you attempt to write your poem in the style of a specific poet?
