Masiela Lusha Poems

The fiery frolic of Venus's omen
Released the embers from Pygmalion's heart,
Crackling against the statue's abdomen
Till her ivory lips broke apart.
...

A carved stone can reign like a mountain,
Only to be meat in natures jaw.
But no wind or snow can tumble
Into the steel minds of humanity and memory-
...

On Christmas morning we visit the marked stones,
The grass, the pots of fresh Paradise Birds,
Magnolias, Christmas trees,
And we visit the names.
...

I cannot chain you.
I shut my eyes, and there you dive
Against the backdropp of veined darkness,
Roaming in the jungle of my starry mind,
...

Last night the stars
Rumored of his defeat.
They lined a perfect
Smile across the navy
...

Two angels sit in your womb,
& in their rosy chamber
They weigh your name
Like rhyming treasures:
...

'To be absorbed in one’s thoughts; engage in meditation'~Websters

In other words: to exist.
Sincerely.
...

Do not seek her soul—
For care of your own sanity
Do not tempt her truth.
Because she gives it freely. Always
...

We are trapped, you and I,
Inside this dome which easily shrinks
From all sides like released elastic,
Easily swallowing the planes of space,
...

When the waving heavens are soft
Cool inside the birth of green—
And the snowdrops filter
Through the blades and leaves
...
