Poem to Circe



Circe, daughter of the sun, was a sorceress renowned for her knowledge of spells, magical herbs and spiritual purification.



Dreaming
last night
of Circe, pursuing
the Moon.

Twilight
spills red
water color passion
indigo gold,

Smudges
of moonlight
ink across
her face.

Circe, I said - wait,
my poem needs you.
She tossed white, wild sage
on my sleeping body.

In dream so
powerless
before
her beauty.

Moonlight
rising to a
zenith starred light
escaped us both.

Elise i read your poem, and it got linked in my head with the last line in the last of the poem of Psyche
isn't it beautiful how one soul touches other soul, and create something new?

I love IT

Loved the last lines the twist moon rising to her zenith starred power escaped us.
i hope i got it right - even if the moon rises to meet her he cant for when its time for him to come its time for her to go. Pun not intended.
