A Couplet of Quasi sonnets


(i.)

O raise my mind now
To some exalted height.
For here you are,
Deeper than the night,
Where dreams are born.
Where kisses fall far
From the mouth of the moon
& I tremble at your sight.

Weak in human frailty found,
Where unfettered heart should bound.
& even though a gentle breeze blows,
Still it chills to the marrow,
To fill me with a sudden dread
Before the moon turns red.

(ii.)

The moon appears to me, coincidently.
I appear to the moon, timelessly.
Yet the beast lurks hidden on the hill
Amidst bushes that move & bushes still.
Between her nakedness concealed,
(As a knot ravelled & unravelled
Before a shooting star traveled).
Between my nakedness revealed,

That fragments to a pattern human
In the space of night's dissemination.
Shall I be content, of she who knows
all faces of the moon & all she steals,
Who mocks the beast's clouted nose,
That she to my nakedness, appeals !?

It's been as many moons, Robin, plus one or two, and still you thrill my soul with wishing, sigh, 'I' was the inspiration of your words. Your understanding of 'syllable/sound placement within a yearning' slays me.

"Concealed, ravelled, unravelled, traveled, revealed"
A great progression!
You have a unique poetic mind Robin.
Great simile in this engaging construct.
Blessings ...
