Of Sappho - I love

Who dwells amongst the firmaments

Of gelid elysian ‘scapes of blue?

 

Golden touch rises and falls

Without term nor will-


While owning sovereignty

Yet and still another face

Worships passion’s rule

And in finality - ultimate demise.

 

Thrice I kept face that allowed

Death’s hand a new life.

Of Sappho – I love.








(Painting Amy Gilles)
