A Love Nostalgia Epilogue

Listen to poem:
Written: May 2nd, 2024 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quixotic quest quiddity As dusk sapidity emerges,  Casting a shadow  Weeping waves smash  in foamy scatters;  seraphic strophic sojourn groans in a gossamer gaunt Arid shadows fade.  In a hazy blur,  emptiness lingers.  Shorebirds console each other.  in epicedes of  velvety whispers  and elusive sighs.  Horizon amid  cinereous graffiti of  tear-stained threnody and  raven blooms.  It breaks my heart, too with crimson, auric, and  plum, plum, purple wings,  why haven't you  returned  to me in spring?  to our moon-smeared love & diaphanous elixir amethyst kisses of emerald ablaze, spiraling in seductive sapphire scarlet sounds, Your love, a fiery flow Flames aflame, with gemstones aglow. Dark ideas settle in my head is akin to  a tombstone,   Obstructing—my judgment early hours are lost in the fog,  their significance dimmed I succumb to allure of nightfall and  I shut my eyes. Acquiesce to inquiry in heaven, each flower boasts a mirror to inveigle into each valley,   Beneath a sky of  countless clouds; quaint lodge stands out,  surrounded  by a myriad of  shimmering ponds  capture a vast expanse  of coastlines. Uncharted shores,  where vessels veered toward vast seas,  untrodden by any praxis As twilight falls, coastlines curve in a crescendo across horizon. Cloaking hill peaks in mist. loquacious verbosity recognized in wisdom beyond spectrum of circumlocution. In a flurry of  fading flowers, faith-filled fields, & fugacious felicity.  Snare drum rotunda  somberly chimes within a forest,  Its dulcet echos rhyme.  We've wandered down curious trails basking in the sun  warm embrace;  In depths of shadows,  We've sought with fear,  an ambient arena, vast and near.  Unveiling a shore infinite,  In an abyss where  every heart resides. With its boundless skies

SP, sounds like it was a great affair while it lasted. The thoughts that surface in the abandoned lover are dark and stark. The vastness of the disappointment is so great and while wonderful in description, it does convey the despair that can be felt. You are amazing!

such an evocative poem, dear Sotto, filled with metaphors and glorious alliterations. (groans in a gossamer gaunt). I especially liked these lines: It breaks my heart, too with crimson, auric, and plum, plum, purple wings, why haven't you returned to me in spring? Your poem has pleasing fluidity and wonderful diction. A delight to read. Have a splendid day, your poetess friend in Texas, Sara

The kind of poem that i love and enjoy for the metaphorical depth and poetic techniques used in such an artistic manner! I love the alliterations and also how youv written so many lines in this and used gems and stones and colors to depict love so ferociously and in such a poetically pleasing manner, i especially loved “Cloaking hill peaks in mist. loquacious verbosity recognized in wisdom beyond spectrum of circumlocution. In a flurry of fading flowers, faith-filled fields” wow! A fave it is
