Poems by Nelferch Merchoed
The
Thermal Spring
- inspired by the thermal springs of Apollo Grannos -
Candles burning in the dark
a golden glow hidden in the depth
fire in velvet blackness
heating the primordial waters
of the sacred cauldron
waters rising
serpents of crystal clearness
coiling clockwise around me
the healing power multiplies
by the magic of white sun-light
and music of golden colours
your presence cloaked in red warmth
gently caressing my skin
a glassy bower
of everlasting spring
protecting me from winter's grim coldness
which would make tender blossoms wither
