My Eyelids I Close Like Curtains Poem by Joseph S. Josephides

My eyelids I close like curtains,
Ι see you in there as my vision.

I have chosen the new path,
the difficult one, however I flow,
the truth doesn’t need memory,
the lie does, to hide an old lie.

You came as poetry to heal me,
you dance, and point where to go,
I become a diver of the ocean,
I become Adonis of Aphrodite,
and live your life, Olympic myth.
Wish I would lean on your breasts.

As I fall down you raise me up
and get my pain and melt it all,
and if we sink into the vortex
'love', you say, ' affords forces,
hold on, so that earth be ours
doing so the universe allies with us.'

You want me be a symbol for others,
possibly a brave sample of the life,
here, I’m the coast you the wave,
I’m the needle and you the thread.

One day when we leave this world
going to the ether and even beyond,
we’ll chant same notes with the angels
and we’ll converse about poetic love.
