Ambrosia

by Ilona Rosenthal-Payne

Pleasing nectar of the gods,

preservation of the mortal.

Gilded by the rays of the sun

vines ascending on glory's portal.

Heaven's tears metamorphosed,

by Divinity's only heir.

Companion of the comfort-less

Jacob's ladder in a pit of despair.

Divine, comfort-giving gold,

Intoxicating pleasure.

A mocker that leads astray the wise,

but still my savoured pleasure!
