cipria

by Maria Massarella


              Let sun's gentle rays    Photobucket                                                                 
                  brush morning gold to skin                                                             
                  warm-waken me languid                                                          
            on fragrant rose-petals                                                 

          lace me in pastel chiffons                                            
         tullèd transparencies                                                    
       veil me in a touch of retrò                                                    
       swirl radiance to hazel eyes                                                               
        sprinkle primrose stars     Photobucket                         
       breeze blossoming promises                       
    windkiss wavefilled hair and i             
   will wed you Life on this summer's    

  day of precious moments seeded       
envined to heart's infinite fields         
where the vicinity of breath to lips          
sedates silent aches - sublimates                          
             unconfined adorations Photobucket
                                        immeasurable beauty flowers                 
                                       amidst passion's flame where          
                                       with lovelight's song i shall          

                forever praise you
     fragile divine
      gossamer            
 breath               
of                       
go                          
d                              
s                                              
                       Photobucket

Author's Note: september 2004 ... written in hospital, on my first meeting with my oncologist when my radiation therapies at Bologna were over. 'Cipria' is 'powder' ... I chose this title because when I wrote this, there was a magazine someone had left in the room and it opened on a page that spoke of cipria, and powder seemed so frivolous a thought ... so a call of life.
this, is a revised version ... *m.a
'envined' wrote itself originating in my thoughts from the word 'vine' like that of the grapes in my Father's garden ... so are the precious moments seeded 'en-vine-d' to hearts fields (in my poem)

Mystical the words of luminous love Scattered like blinking stars upon Those who breathe the air of Godly muse Wrapping them in earthly fare of such delight It brings sparkling images to the senses day and night. The stars shine around you in mystic flight Maria
