I Marysa

      Her untouched vision hurls a dangerous fire,
      with eyes so ethereal in jade contemplation,
      as an illumined essence that burns eternal
      or a newborn star in its purest insistence.
5     She invents her own light in a tenderest wile
      kissing trecherous splendors and rapturous sway
      from the coraled roses of an envisioning sky
      in the most blessed form of her untamed sight.
      And spins so sweetly in heaven's cool breath
10    like a radiant angel with shining beguiles,
      uplifting my heart from the ashes of dismay
      with the unseen hands of her consuming blaze.
      Daniel B. Dermond
