Blue Lanterns Poem by Eli Spivakovsky

Fireworks drip sparks like water
Your eyes turn resin into amber
blue lanterns float across a pond
more beautiful than deep cyan
clear like a lake in heaven
Your lips pluck up
and lovely hebrew words exit from them
call me to you
I will answer
and cover you with silver star-shaped confetti
when you're not looking
I know how to kiss
but I've never kissed as pretty as you
You deserve it, may I approach?
Let's go sky-skating
and wild ballooning
and cloud-teasing
and kite-running
O my sweet one,
turquoise and metals and meteorites live their trace elements on you
but your pupils illuminate all of them
the flowers in my garden hush themselves
and watch you
o sweet one
your past life was like honey
and came to decorate you in this one
Your good deeds
are repeated on your face
how else can it be explained?
You pray for humility
and lock-in resplendence
You pretty prince
grant me your presence
and let me see those beacons
those amiables
those seraphic eyes
clothed in eyelashes
as you give me your gilded gaze
