Alexander Wojno Poems

The Most Beautiful Maiden

A magnificent sheen ripples through the air,
...

Midst the barrage
Of glowing gamboge plumes
A grand manipulator casts control
The profligate employer
...

The dark city of emeralds,

A blend of verdant hues
...

The tattered violet hues erupt, The headstrong tower put

As wind carries the shower of dark, mystical blades
...

The sublime, lucent beauty of fire
Is as mysterious as it is arcane
The abysmal molten web is strewn
As writhing tongues lick in vain
...

An exotic, foreign princess

Flaunts her royal, perfect grace
...

The morning's sunrise drives off the dew
Of built up languor
Leeching off the blood of conspiracy, resting in calm assurance
...

Your magnificent eyes, dark emeralds aflame

Your silky bronzed hair, still perfect in rain
...

Charcoal shadows flash along the rocks
Then draconic echoes pierce the valley
Silver scythes slip out of hiding
Under the bite of the moon, a grin of shiny daggers
...

Thine heart be an eclectic blend of surreptitious beaty, strewn with the fruits of love and vitality
...
