Enchanctress Poem by Susan Lacovara
Enchanctress
Flutter in the fringe that is the silver moon
With the harmonic heartbeat of the white winged dove.
In a sultry swirl that steals away from the madness of everyday
Like a golden thread, spun out of straw,
She sings the lyrics of my own soul...
And I am taken over the edge of seventeen,
To the landslide of my life...
So that I may know how the child within my heart can rise above...
To the shaken strains of tambourines, in the twisting of the night air
We danced, as only gypsies do...unaware if anyone was watching...
Filled by the spirit, moved by the melodic tales, unfolding...
Swept away, like a bird uncaged...soaring and self preserved..
Glisten,
And listen...
For she speaks what the heart holds inside...
Perfect in all her flawed beauty
Like an angel whispering in my ears...
She leads me to the waterfalls that cleanse my tired thoughts
And beckons me to spin, bare footed and breathlessly free..
Arms, lifted in a welcoming wingspan
She gathers the poets...the painters...the wounded...the watchful
Serenading their troubles to sleep...
Enchanted...I sway in the wake of her words
Finding only that she is a mystic...
And I content, follow the silken ribbons
That trail behind her...
album which started my love affair with Stevie. Teachers truly do make a
profound difference in the lives of those they teach..Thank one today. Happy birthday Goergia...PEACE
I am completely under the spell of this poem, which embodies the voice and gestures of the enchantress who dances with the speaker. There is a strong suggestion by those who know such women that they are dangerous.But the music, dance, perfumed night, beautiful flesh, intoxicating mood all conspire to make me CHOOSE to go the gypsy path. This is another THRESHOLD poem promising even greater wonders and delights. Why would I want to resist such beauty?
A festival of melody.. in well arranged words... well penned dear poet.

Susan! What a breathtaking poem. I was enchanted from the beginning to the end. My favorite line for she speaks what the heart holds inside. And another favorite I Sway in the wake of her words. So poetically where did. Enjoyed reading.
