What do true lovers know of time and
the passing of tangible gifts?
It is the spirit bowed low with arms wide,
knowing the sheer white curtains of dreams--making
space for a lover to spin hope to bones,
to flesh, desires to skin and a hungry mouth,
to weave comfort on the clean, plush beds of
our hearts--this makes touching real.

As always, Aberjhani, a pleasure.

The Comforter on Your Bed sweeps us along with the lyrical incense of the sun-kissed girl of the Song of Solomon with endearing expressions sweeter than wine.

Passionate, provocative, perfumed with love!

Is this the honey of pure artistry or what?

A lovely offering for gentle souls, Aberjhani.


"Rise up, you girl companion of mine, my beautiful one, and come away."

Of course, you understand we'll be traveling in my bright red canoe, don't you? But I promise you a fresh, dew-dropped rose scented with adventure.

Very beautiful. Everyone derives a different meaning from your work. I found it to be descriptive of the warmth and comfort and the security of strong love and also laced with an electric charge of sexual arousal. Great work!

You are a true poet Aberjhani. Your metaphors and images bring words to life in vivid color. Not only do you paint the picture you set the mood and evoke the ambience of love.

Such intriguing features, a vaulted stained glass bedroom ceiling, tight tunnel, and a watery sump which pumps each stroke of the love machine stitch, souvenir-laid patches of that trip on THE COMFORTER ON YOUR BED physically and spiritually pieced...sensuous batting in between layers, no cover-ups, and respect for the metaphor of a naked dreamer feasting on warmth...Upgraded Golden poetic thread, Aberjhani...

Magnificent write love
Is a sacred pattern, of the many memories
Is almost like a patch quilt and the pattern
must be cut with precision and
Then sewn with lots of TLC
This piece expresses what true love
and the memories of your life together
every patch in the quilt is a memories
to be treasure I do Agreed with you
Life is a comforter of love!!
Excellent poetic view of your thoughts
Love And Peace To You....Morning Star

This is what our love is––a sacred pattern
of unbroken unity sewn flawlessly invisible inside
all other images, thoughts, smells, and sounds.

This comforter on your bed adores the way the beat
of your heart demands all of his heat and attention,
as if he were made of mink lined with a sunrise––

and you a naked dreamer feasting on warmth.

These stanzas come gilt-edge framed for me, AberJ. Utterly heart-stopping as I seek to engage with all the imagery. More than just a place of nurture and refuge, this is absolute bliss on all levels. Total trans-and-consubstantiation of two souls is here. Loving it! TY K xx

...First I would like to second what everyone has already said...
"The Comforter on Your Bed" truly is a masterpiece of a write!

So many thoughts come to my mind...and as I see all my babies...cuddling close in a Springtime thunderstorm...and we all nestle together...it is the safehaven for the fears of the innocent, and the soft cushion for purrs emerging from a Calico...
I could so go on...
Take a bow...Aberjhani~ this is a keeper for sure!

First I want to thank Artist William H. Miller for allowing his artpiece “Charkas” to accompany this masterpiece, "The Comforter on Your Bed" by Master Aberjhani.

As we enjoy the bountiful fruits and beauty of Springtime, and The National Poetry Month, it is indeed a great privilege to read "The Comforter on Your Bed", which flows like a mellifluous dew of -- a thousand flowers’ honey on a leaf of grace – for the enjoyment of any heart that pumps sublimity; - spreading the aroma of romance through its outstanding symbolism.

May Your life continue to be the blessed one that shows the world the greatness of America; and may Your days be healthy through a creative blissful living.

In gratitude and admiration,

In my opinion this is a love poem that will stand the storms and ravages of the ages, and still come out fresh and ready to nourish another generation eager to glean from the masters.
