The Virgin Statue Poem by Masiela Lusha

The Virgin Statue

Rating: 4.4


The fiery frolic of Venus's omen
Released the embers from Pygmalion's heart,
Crackling against the statue's abdomen
Till her ivory lips broke apart.

When Pygmalion kissed his snowy bride,
A kiss of crimson and rose desire,
His lips were met with a blush of life,

Till her eyes, once dryly open,
With no choir,

Shared a dancing gaze onto his touch.

The play of color heart, of the red and white - passion and innocence - is stunningly summed up by the union of both in Love. True art. I admired this very much.
