Lotus Eater

Lotus Eater



She was poised as a rare, and wondrous orchard transfixing both day and night

A silvery mist adorned Her lovely contours-draping Her with empyrean delight

As She ascended i descended to the ashes
kneeling amidst the under-gird of smoldering hues of grey

In the wake of Her sangfroid redolence i languidly relent
succumbing to 
Her opiate embrace

Never too bold to escape Her smothering stronghold
i resign to be so imbued
a hopeless slave reveling in obscure depravity  
subject to Her opiate state

Onsets of depression
misguided aggression and
guilty obsessions are all met equally by Her governance and forbearance

Therein i abide in reprieve i reside with Her all too transient grace

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
