And this, this letter O:
Od: a hypothetical force
formerly held to pervade all nature and manifest itself in magnetism,
mesmerism, chemical action, etc.
Oe-no-mel: something
combining strength with sweetness.
Oell-lade: an amorous
glance.
Obesiant: movement of the
body expressing deep respect or deferential courtesy.
Ode to Od
simple gesture
seemingly
yet refined in
texture and tone
oe-no-mel, this
creature
leaves me gasping for
breath
caught within the
glimpse of my eye
her glance nearly
askew
but oell-lade, I
catch it
before she turns her
head
this hypothetical force
of nature, savage and
pure
I believe in its
magic
as I stand near
enough to feel
she is unbelievable
yes
yet I am on my knees
in obeisant pose
thanking the powers
that be
singing to the
heavens
cracking open the sky
as she has split the
shell of me
and set the prisoner
free
I sing on high I sing
to the low
in rising from under
this soul
to let heaven rest
beneath me
as we fly wing to
wing
this is an ode a
lyrical tale
of love and this
woman so fair
and ode to od, the
power
that need not be
explained.
