Notes About The Poem

                                       

 

Keeping Love Alive

"Though all have endless love within, many feel they have none until external love shows as fantasies contend." ~~ Poet


I thought I knew love’s emotional pallet,
     then you gathered me in passions ballad
          and my sureness tossed in kinetic transport.
In your embrace, all I knew became unglued.
Such an amazing, glorious sensation
     increased its revelation because your known
          was equally thrown, richly altered just as my own. 
Times like now, our desires seek declaration
     from our mutual flames celebration
          of romantic love we both hold as a blessing.
You say our love is so tenderly strong, it is truly poetic.
Tonight, as your lips tantalize mine until intoxicated,
     the entire world fades away unrealized ~
          only we exist inside a shared bliss that enthralls.

Again, and once more, I always seek your lips for kisses I adore while wishing all were reality, not my fantasies creating a sedating escape from the unrequited love I am always bleeding. It is silent kisses and all my other pretendings that keep what never started from ever ending.

Dear CayCay, O such an intoxicating feeling of love that completely transforms everything you thought you knew about yourself. There's something so honest and beautiful about that mutual vulnerability. CayCay, you've created such a gorgeous, complex portrait of desire, both fulfilled and forever wanting. Blessings, Dear CayCay, Daniel

you've certainly captured the nature of a 'silent, imagined kiss' with your imagery. loved these lines especially: to hush unrequited love cries I am always bleeding. Silent kisses are the only fulfillment I may achieve. best wishes with the contest, hugs Sara
