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.
