Holy Grail
drink from my cup
that I may taste your
thirst, my chalice
burried in this tomb
my grail, a reminder
of our Last Supper
my crucifixion, your betrayal
men have sought
seldom will they find
believe what they must
in Papyrus,
excavated for their glory
the answer lies hidden in the past
blinded by lust,
decoded in dust
counting the stars
an inexhaustible feat
eluding the beauty of heaven's sky
you fail to grasp, what is beyond reach
understand, the unseen
Sangreal, my bloodline
descendant, my disciples
my love, my wife
not a whore, not a mystery
eternal beauty
unseen
like a clock ticking
to remind
the sound of genius
creation of your mind
divinity
within your grasp
search for her,
you find me

these are probably the best lines in the whole poem. they say sooooooo much without having to say so much. i love that. this is a very nice write.

| I've read the book and thoroughly enjoyed it. I think this is the best book or film review I've ever read. As always Joni beautifully written. Thanks |

Hi, Joni,
I absolutely love this part:
believe what they must
in Papyrus,
excavated for their glory
the answer lies hidden in the past
blinded by lust,
decoded in dust
Absolutely wonderful!!! I love to find little jewels like this in poetry. My only suggestion would be to replace the word "hidden" in that line. The following 2 lines have "ed" words, and IMO, I think a word such as "buried" or something similar would work better. Plus, you have a lot of short U sounds. Lust, dust, etc., and you mention the word "hidden" in the 2nd stanza. Again, JMO, and a very, very minor thing in the scope of talent you show here as always.
Keep writing, and thank you for this! :) |

| This is indeed, wonderful. I love everything that relates to ancient, and in your poem, you remind us of unsolved mysteries, hidden secrets. Great lines over all, perhaps the fifth stanza is my favorite, but I'm still not decided. Well done, Joni! I'll bookshelve this. |
