Poem -
Sunflower
Eyes beseech grace,
Alight upon mine face
Apollonian chariot fire
Thou glow a sole desire
Be still florid heart
Slain by errant impart
Arise east to west
May ardor be blest.
Sultry lips belayed
Bequeath a humble maid
Swell lightly abreast
Abloom betwixt chest
Cherish mine shy guiles
Virtue craves thou wiles
Within diurnal hour
Yield thou sunflower

I love mythology and I was reading about the lovesick girl that loved Apollo the sun-god. She would follow him across the skies with her eyes, he took pity on her and turned her into a sunflower. it was so romantic. anyhow I am babbling like a brook so thank you. I appreciate the bit 'O love.
Hey Babbles, you can make like a brook anytime with me(I love to chat, but not a lot like to chat with me), so babble away!Β
Sounds like a nice story...but now I want salted sunflower seeds!...or a Bit O Honey! LOL.Β
You cheered me up today, Lisa. Thanks.Β

CaptivatingΒ
I didn't want it to end!
thank you Eric, I appreciate you stopping by
Beautiful, beyond explanation...
Alas,
and I think we share a passion for words from a long forgotten past. If born more than a hundred and fifty years ago we could gleefully revel in the works of the greatest poets and seers and perhaps take place rightfully amongst them.
thank you, I'm glad we see things so similar, a forgotten time should always be remembered. If I were to wish for anyone dead or alive at my supper table I would want Emily Dickenson. She truly is one of my favorite old English writers
I am enamored with William Blake,
but there are others whose words are inscribed in my heart.
aw yes another one that's amazing. I may have been born in the wrong time era. lol
