‘THE GODDESS’

What to do with secret lunar?
Dark enigma of blue heaven,
With the stringless music moonily
And the sparks of desert pebbly?
Might I glance – it seems so scanty,
Might I love – it’s insufficient…
Bites the lunar beam with stinger
Sharply, icily and sadly.
In the gleaming rays imperious
I expire from my weakness,
When am I to weave and tether
Wings of feather,
Wings of feather?
Oh, Astarte!
I shall glory your command
With no impostures,
Give me wings!
And I shall spread them
In luminous feather story.
Into azure-flaming ocean
I shall dive with avid awe,
And shall suffocate in spacious
And obliviating glow.
