That Secret Place That Glows

That Secret Place That Glows Now alone she ponders the persuasive reality of emotive vulnerability The stranger vanished while magical moments persisted and lingered on Sleight of hand is a nemesis obliged to invoke the dynamics of incongruity Undeterred are elements of rapture like sand dunes on a distant blue lagoon Instants in retrospect revealing acts of what transpired provokes no surprise Depicting scenes of tough roller coaster rides and confrontations with woes Seeking solace from failed endeavors the heart harkens to own the prize Courage trump defeat leading her love to that secret place that glows Penned: 08/03/2016 West palm Beach Florida USA

Anselmo, your metaphorical imagery and wording are stunning in your written poem. I enjoyed this verse: Undeterred are elements of rapture like sand dunes on a distant blue lagoon
