Prayer

                In midnight time I ‘m reading a golden book,
                as if I was unlimitedly bewitched ,
                the sound was the model I have reached.

                The sound descends unseen, with double  wings
                for daily pain to enlighten to  feelings,.
                as if a ghost in fiery trembling stiring   
                give me a chance today  for  prayers   hearings.

                And a sleeping one  stretches muscles with reliefe
                through light of air to flying  streams of  wander,
                he is in there becouse of his  beliefe,
                as his response which  climbs and falls under.
    
                We are stretching hands  of ours,
                what a sound, that pressing hour,
                like a mystical Maelstrom?

                That s‘ a cave, the time of  Plato,
                what unseen pichicatto
                throws  the figure for the flight?

                We are very nervous praying:
                blessing son  for  his transferring
                to the kingdom of the sky!
   
                Oh, authority of sound,
                here it is the battleground,
                take the praer against the  lie.

                Stretches thoughts and smiles, starting,
                Make our bodies  smartly darting,
                like a stream of   meteors.
                The  questions more, the answer more!

                That is near- heaven kliros,
                silver sounds and papyrus
                of impersonal Beginning
                for the damage to  restore.

                Your soul and your reason,
                no – unfortunate   provision,
                divination – is it so?

                Oh, the sound  of heavenss proud.
                That a midnight ragweed cloud         
                Give us chance of  your correction,
                for the Godman  resurrection
                that triumfatory had swore!

What a wonderful poem! It was a true pleasure to come accross such a thing. I'm fond of gothic style. Also, your vocabulary is remarkable. I bet, there are very few English both native and non-native speakers that master the poetic expression instruments of Poe's times.

Good luck and my best regards,

Evelyne

Dear Eveline,
Thank you very much for your cordial encouraging message! Contemporary poetry is really suffering from the lack of romanticism and esoterics. After Gothic gnosiology and delicate cosmic pre-feelings we need new spiritual shelters. But moreover we need an echo, metaphoric response, and friendly support! I am deeply impressed by our common appreciation of Edgar Poe’s epoch!
Sincerely yours, Alexander.
