KING SOLOMON Poem by ILIAS FOUKIS


  

                
KING SOLOMON


The women who King Solomon loved
the most
were those women
whose soul heed imagined
like the rivers flow.


But immediately after
this ardent desire
old Solomon coolly concluded
that the rivers flow leads them to the sea
and to that boundless blue of the oceans
where all the Temples and Sins
of the Earth are devitalized
and he might thus lose the control he had over Women.


Then King Solomon
in a fit of anger remembered that he was in command
and in the case of danger
he would know how to stop
these maddened rivers.


But this was not the only danger...
Besides the seas and the rivers
the female view of the cosmos also included the sky...


Indeed of late
he had information from his secret agents
that women were exchanging looks with the Stars
and...consequently
their hearts which he had assumed
were near at hand and under complete possession
like the walls of palaces
burned as one with those distant fires.

And thus in that way
King Solomon began to repent
because before he created his Kingdom
he had not thought of incorporating all the Stars
in the celestial territory of the Monarchy
and now at this advanced age
he had to do a detailed study of Astrology.


But old Solomon
had discovered a long time ago all on his own
that Heaven and the Mysteries of the Heaven
were like women
whom he had never loved.

Since the Astrologers of the Future
exploiting the derangement of mortals
entered into negotiations with the Heavens
he from the moment charged them
with enormous spiritual failures
and provocative stupidity
that would have deprived Women
of that Amour which broke down fences
with the force of the enticements
to reach the Promised Land
like a divine oracle

rushing with the conviction of rivers.

  7. Amir Samji --- A good mythological poem
    A very good mythological poem with it main ingredient is woman. See the beauty of divine; all men whether king or beggers; are mad of her beauty; want to enter into her beauty through the weapon so called love.

  8. this poem is enormously powerful.......I can figure out, with a comment that I may make in a bit of trepidation! I can figure out that the translation,perhaps, needs a re-look -particularly the 1st & last stanza.......with regards..Lokesh Roy@ lokeshroy@rediffmail,com

  14. Anna Marroquim --- BRAZIL --- Ilias Foukis, Hello my dear friend, poet! You're more inspired. I have to learn a lot from you again, my poems are too small in the face of his words of poetry so gigantic! Congratulations!
