Tajalla Qureshi
Eyes of Athena
The Eyes,
Blossoming brown, speaking signs— too profound
where often ocean slides and slips aside—a bit loud
be pleased with the fishes fluttering inside—unbound
lugging truths—unheard, untold for a long ahead
Darning her dynamic delight—herself, an unveiled image
Wanderingly wonder the multi-magnetic voyages and visages
where the world weaves, preeminence peeps into transparency
Speak through the sage, her eyes— an innocent accuracy
Truths dwell into, unwritten bells turn blue,
she, where through, the windowsills unfurl the hue
Ineffable, they are—strength, sensitivity, and spark, high and huge
motivation they wink, a long river where the emotions sink—breathfully blinks, drinks the blues
Murmur compassion, whisper attention—
embroidered lashes, peeping pearls—light flashes;
that dress for dazzling delights, chosen charm and tranquility that warms,
Yes, Athena of the modern Odyssey, they murmur.
An Ocean’s opulence
The waves of embroidered opulence
clinging the sensorus, soulful and symbolic richiness
into his measureless resilience
Queen of wisdom—catches the pulses of beauty
in her appealing appearance and serving duty;
to swathe the wounded veins,
Weave the transparency together as splashes
with occupancy to murmur the blinky bright flashes;
where absences, and blur glances, fully smashes
Regimes over the skies, the clarity in the eyes
Speak swiftly to the free will—magically admires
and classiness clarifies the unheard acquires
They, the luxury of the ocean, the ornament of love
Swing kiss, portraying the untold saga, right above
and there she whispers verses of dazzling doves
Beyond the fickleness, a lengthy long, straight away
their tale that still dwells, into a keen portray
to reveal the fate, that fetches the heart closer
She, the Athena, the glory of trance and elegance
Relishes the Apollo, the gace of the grand ocean
for his preposterous resplendence.
And Athena’s untold trance
The moments
where the fingers prom, the heart clasps
and the eyes invite for enchantment to fully grasp;
where delight, dignity, and divine altogether lavish
the unheard, unveiled bottom— telltaling a ravish
there between the spring and summer—
seasons of brightness and blinkingness—a chamber;
declares openly, a fragrance tinkles and tingles high,
continually encircles the blazing sights, a glory untie
Lyrically cuddles, sounding the unsounded rattles
and more often cherishes the unseen, unread letters
in great solace and lived the chosen allowance
as above poeticality—a melody serves as an affluence
Joyous the pleasure—all that the Athena ears
through her heavenly sacred eyes, hidden heartiness
thou gulping energy, embracing wholeheartedness
Astonishingly appeals—every potion thou plea.
The Athena’s realm
Hovering over the sky, he often replies
to the veracity of wisdom, she Athena
Cherish the preponderance love at miles
Apollo, retains the luxurious arena
For up tides the cacking craves
to the motion of murals
That eagerly awakes the airwaves
Ah! Athena smooch your heavenly pearls
Sometimes, green adores your heart
and Apollo dances with a mirth and March
She, the starfire encircles the melodious art
An affection, a reflection, he starch
An Easel that holders hold in his lap
and tell-tale the illustration of aesthetic lust
Athena, the guardian, aware of traps
As up heals and deals the intimate thrust
And as all that Athena went down
before the nightfall mate
Roll up her furs that immensely round
the peep out over fate
Hails that clasp Apollo’s dignity and affinity
Softly, Slightly, Athena retreats the ravishing realms
over the sea and sky, beyond divinity and infinity
O’entirely claim the light and delight of his dreams.
