Love is a silent emotion, invisible to open eyes. But, I saw the naked soul of her enigma - my universal truth. A pristine state of perfection. As her 'silence' whispered to my soul in a million ways - I felt her pangs. As her spirit inhaled my oxygen, my heart forgot about gravity, feeling immortal in every beat. Now a small flame kindles in her chocolate brown eyes - hotter than wildfire. I see beyond her invisible veil, hiding her divinity, wrapped under her tanned satin skin. Smoother than a bed of feathers - would to touch it, be a sin? Her fruitful lips of blissful nectar, are an eternal passage, covered in ethereal dew, awaiting my soul with promises for unseen paradisaical passion - a taste would leave one intoxicated. The mind pleads with time to be kind, for the heart to remain patient - for distance to not become an adversary. Because, nothing could define her elegance, in any form of artistry; a poet has no vocabulary, a musician, no beat to their melody, a painter, no control in their masterstroke - her aroma is a rare scent from petals, my hands could never fathom to blossom. Her love is like the sun rays of a new dawn, forever, ascending my heart with warmth. I am her cloudless sky, for her glory to shine, the ripples in her deep ocean - for her to bathe within me. In my quest to be within her embrace, I shall keep the vampires from her door, slay the demons who bring her darkness. Face Satan in his satanic seas. Be the whirlwind in her storm, releasing her from chains of uncertainty. Once, I gazed at the stars, wondering where you were. My musings a premonition for your arrival. You appeared to end all seeking, filling my hollowness with endearment - became the last drop of my ink.

What a mellifluous song of love! So heartfelt that would make any woman fall for you. I love the way you describe her elegance.. "nothing could define her elegance, in any form of artistry; a poet has no vocabulary, a musician, no beat to their melody, a painter, no control in their masterstroke -..." Indeed a paragon of beauty and beatitude! The romantic overtones are bewitching. "As her spirit inhaled my oxygen, my heart forgot about gravity, feeling immortal in every beat." She can make your burdens so light that you pass into a state of levitation! Wow....! This goes into my FAVE.

True love is one, willing to go down the depths of the Dead Sea to sustain it. If you could stand vampires for your love, Klaus especially, that love knows no bounds. "The mind pleads with time to be kind, for the heart to remain patient." It's not like time listens, it never does, I wonder if it has a lover. And the heart? I can only speak for myself and it's never patient. Great write Silent.

You've captured the essence of love in your ode poem, masterfully created. I especially liked: Love is a silent emotion, invisible to open eyes. I liked the last two lines as well: filling my hollowness with endearment - became the last drop of my ink. You continue to amaze me with your unique and rare poetic voice and skill. Have a splendid day, Sara

Dear silent one, what a soulful and heartfelt write this is, so well crafted for your beloved. I wish my beloved would write this impeccably! Oops hope he doesn’t see this comment haha. I love the selflessness and sincerity of your voice, emanating love and care, in sheer eloquence! I especially love the way you’ve written “ nothing could define her elegance, in any form of artistry; a poet has no vocabulary, a musician, no beat to their melody, a painter, no control in their masterstroke“ sometimes , words aren’t enough to express or describe our love when its too deep. I feel the same way especially when i write about my son or My twin.

This is what you do best - free verse love poetry. I see a few nods to inky in there, I know she'll love this. In fact, it should be popular with all the ladies

There are no nods to Inky here.. I have no idea why you always think that.
