A Divine Sleep

The further I traveled from me, the closer I came to you – found myself nearing with such found release...my heart swelling sweet generous nectar; sensing no loss, but, in fact, more abundance for sharing and receiving. It is the lesson of love, the ripening of heart's dearer agents through selfless caring – Indeed! Love is a nurturing school...of small little chirps, purring, and needy cries; it is cold dark forced out by the graceful warming of heavenly pairing: The rests minimal, and pianissimos ever brighter: Shakespeare was not so overly theatrical about the world being a stage, nor Poe too speculative, about all seeming a dream within a dream – for love is dreamy, magical and mystically deep – The Universe shouting, Encore!~More!~applauding endlessly such Divine Sleep....

The ultimate word, feeling, emotion, so many aspects to 'LOve. Excellent poetry here, Joe, I too, love the reference to the great bards, also the theme that cements the poem all together.

"Shakespeare was not so overly theatrical about the world being a stage, nor Poe too speculative, about all seeming a dream within a dream – for love is dreamy, magical and mystically deep" – These are lovely lines.... How beautifully you have sung the peans of divine love in your poem. Joe, yours is a blessed pen.
