We love poetry…by Aberjhani

ANGEL OF PEACE

 

Such are these places

where lovers of bliss behold

the angel of peace:

Above the burning,

and below the cold of all

the sad killing fields;

Where poetry sighs,

smiling magic in the lap

of flesh and blood joy;

Upon the shoulders

of elders carved beautiful

by sage artistry;

Where a starbright gown

trails healing through gardens of

eternity’s laughter;

In the arms of dreams

that shepherd hope through the eyes

of praying children;

Under waterfalls

bristling silk storms from the shores

of my skin to yours;

In the taste of a

woman glowing firemilk through

the tips of her breasts;

Afloat on rhythms

of minds too stoned on love to

recall how bombs work;

At the edge of a

man’s kiss casting holy spells

of sweet compassion;

Inside the beauty

of faith’s unburied treasure

sparkling truth and hope;

Beneath trees of song

heavy with angelic light,

evergreen with strength;

Upon the wings of

nightingales trilling comfort

to embattled grace;

In your heart’s whisper,

soft as love, that truly all

is well with your soul
