Poems For Melba And Ariseli (Part Two)
Two more poems dedicated to those sisters from Peru, the memory of which will stay with me forever. All in spite of the near twenty years since the last time I last encountered them.
Melba, Night Lost Ye To Me
Oh, Melba weakness of mine
and painful night ruler
to my dreams
plans forged end in ruin
as remains from empires
gone long ago
Melba, in passion
thine hand created he
to serve thy need
for worshiper who
with but desire became
such to his lady of Lima
Melba, ye delicate woman
of beauty spiritual
be thine wisdom reaching out
one in me with hand
oh, deity of feminine
harmonious as angel ye be in day
Melba, yet darkness fell on our stage
as did others take part in ours
on night ye oh, transformed
to she not of my acquaintance
in cold being of the unkind
to suffering in thine love
abandoned to dissolution
Melba, reasons unaware
feelings of mine
thou did not spare
but in haste ye parted
in society of one more
Melba, night of despair
was cast upon ye true
in depth of sorrow
for all was put to end
at hour of ye apathy
till morrow
Ariseli, Mystery Lady Of Sierra
Ariseli oh, ye of skin a dark
serving as cover
to all that comprise
body so feminine
Oh, Ariseli richness of ye cambers
take contour of lithe breast
of delight whilst rest
descend to legs true
of Aphrodite sexuality
rivaling ye not
Ariseli, for thou art real flower
of human daintiness
as thine scarlet so rose
in passionate clench
for he who be
but to drench
in thine ecstasy
Ariseli, to be thine admirer
true to ye only in thine smile
be nobility for me all while
we might engage
in act of flight so high
Ariseli, as condor from Andes grand
ye wings expand
as clutch of thine claws rush us to soar
in tenacious duel for ye roar
as I end audacious
for ye oh, me lady Inca
