Calypso


Calypso

The oars on the boat row in fury to reach its sunset demise.
The sightless captain glimpses through a spyglass
in confirmation of his destination. Up is like down in Davy Jones’ Locker,
but reach the horizon where dagger meets tip, and waft in calm breaths of Aeolus.
Free the helm-sway to Siren songs, toward petal shores of her Majesty.
Anchor into dusty pixie sands of Ogygia
Dionysus orchards rejoice; flowing silks of violet in violet brush – feasting in jubilance.
                        Golden masked Nymphs welcome you to her diamond masque domicile
            Stay a while; fill your stomach in goddess feast,
 puffy clouds in your glass of wine are sprite ecstasy – Aphrodite’s potion
   enchants with velvety rhythmic moans arousing Olympus,
on her golden tiles, glass steps, silver bath tubs - Stay a while my love.
The Spring of Youth a gift to my gratified Mariner and hearty crew.
Stay with me (I Calypso), and be my immortal Kings.
            But veiled from veracity -
A single sunset for a thousand kisses, Graeae spins.
