In response to--- Endymion: A  poetic romance--- by John Keats

Only that

what is éclat

is a joy unto eternity

O! I say Ahoy!

You, who is of such beauty

In pleasure’s essence sat

In such eerie proclivity.

O! Thou moon goddess

Permeating such

Endless ecstatic delight

Of ceaseless perfumed youth

Your twinkling pairs of sight

soothe, for you a

scented ethereal beauty

are a joy forever.

Solar delight diurnal or

Lunar borrowed might nocturnal   

in all light I see…….flow

my ken(s) fills in glee – fall

 on plane(s) in ways such

that even surfaces crooked

turn plain as much.

For you know… only that

What is éclat

Is a joy unto eternity

O! I say ahoy!

Even for that brazen beauty

I carry hope in my pen

I marry endlessness in my pain

Wait, if necessary…even tarry

Coax, cajole all…..hurry

To throw all insouciance

To insignificance………..

Discarding all caution

to the wind……

beauty moves on

attempts to find

tempts all behind

moving in unison

following her tread

enchanted by her gait.

Only this… the essence

of all marvelling and bliss

all your deep dormant

desire to kiss and sire

be truthful in all longing

bonhomie of beauty

is for your belonging.

Earth unfolds all her mystery

To marry your tired soul

To her womb’s chemistry

She is always at ease

To show your eyes

Uninitiated, all that

What is éclat.
