Celtic Goddess of rivers, abundance, inspiration and prophecy


COVENTINA


I am shifting shadow
defined by darkness
veiling the face of the moon;

and silver pool held in your
tender cupped hands, carved
from deepest fathoms of who I am.

You the light that makes me shine,
the nightly pull of my tides,
the chalice of all my fullness.

You drink to the uttermost
of my cup, and nothing of me
is spilled.

In your satisfaction
am I consumed and thereby
we're both replenished.

Hear! Hear! Well written, Kate! The end is reminiscent of John Donne. Each piece so exquisitely carved, and rounded with a paradox.

Often, I am lazy, wanting a something to happen without any definable effort on my part. Your poem accomplishes this; carrying me away! Other reviewers have said it in many tender and romantic ways, and they are correct and complimentary.. For me - - - Carried Away!

There is a shine here that only others' with that same shine recognize. It's reamrable how many people will think you're crazy for mentioning an inner shine. They are hopeless until their path changes. Shine on! It adds to the aura surrounding you.
Love,
Susan

Oh my Sweet Kate, this one drew me in like a valentine card from the shy girl in the third road of Grade 3. Captured my heart and my imagination with how lovely you are and how sweet your mind dwelves into the love that is yours. Beautiful and your lover is a lucky man for sure.
