Poets of the Angels

[Author-Poet Aberjhani]

Feet sandaled with dreams

tread paths of vision leading

to wisdom’s sharp peaks.

 

On a bridge spanning

earth’s delights and heaven’s tears

jeweled throats shine psalms.

 

Stars ink your fingers

with a lexicon of flame

blazing rare knowledge.

 

Hurricanes grow calm

for the pleasure of hearing

your souls’ hidden rhymes.

 

You are the hybrids

of golden worlds and ages

splendidly conceived.

 

To accommodate

humanity’s whims, gore floods

your cleanest pages.

 

In obedience

to eternity’s beauty

prayers cloak your heart.

 

Your pain is a school

unto itself––and your joy

a lovely temple.

 

Syllables gathered

on the shores of your genius

sing moonbright wonders.

 

Yours is a language

of parables made classic

by love’s sweet anguish.

 

The same hot lightning

that burns your blood with passion––

cools your fears with peace.

[Author-Poet Aberjhani]

--Gee whiz Music, I'll have to take that as a major compliment. Thank you. I've always loved British soul music but Emeli Sande is new to me so thanks as well for the introduction.

--Glad you enjoyed it Robbie. It's always nice when a reader makes his own interpretative connection to a poem.

 
--If you're offering, Passion of the Poets, then I'm accepting :-)

[In Love With Music]

I get the same feeling of intense awe reading these lines as I do checking out Emeli Sande's HEAVEN. I don't really know how to state the connection but maybe it's the combination of creative drive and spiritual something.

Maybe you'll tell me what you think... Maybe it's just me...

[Robby Baby (Dark Poet of Amour)]

"

Your pain is a school

unto itself––and your joy

a lovely temple."

I like what that said there, that anything an angel experiences in amplified compared to mortal experience; at least that's how I took it. There's a unique tone of spirituality here that I enjoyed :)

[Passion of the Poets]

I believe they are correct who have described the Songs of the Angelic Gaze series as a future classic. There are in fact those who describe it as a modern one now.  A celebrated form with individuated style is always equal in measures of beauty and power.
