I Come, I See, Who Conquers? Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

Melody saves, waives Time's blight
Away, in place supreme delight
Unchallenged, salves and conquers through
Desire whose fire spans red to blue.
Each blush rose pales, blood ruby too.
Magnificence expelling night,
Assuages inner thirst quenched through
Unequalled charm quite recondite,
DEfying definitions trite.
Magnet or mirage? Dream come true?
All others wilt, she taps into
Unsullied streams of rainbow hue.
Description fails. Her splendours span
Eternities unguessed by man.

I Came, I Saw, Who Conquered

for previous version see below


Music sudden waved Time's blight,
An incarnation of delight
Unchallenged. Naught continued to
Deny bright beauty, spirit true.
Each blush rose paled, blood ruby too.
Magnificence expelling night,
Acknowledged inner thirst quenched through
Unequalled charm, dream beamed delight
DEfying definitions trite.
Magical our planet blue
Appears to Nature, taps into
Unsullied streams of rainbow hue.
Descriptions fail. These splendours span
Eternities unguessed by man.
