Across Realms

Far away, from the rim of the Earth
Beyond the oceans, beyond human reach,
Across realms, I have found my way,
Into the aerial pockets of the blue.

On spread wings I have soared
To watch you ever from above!
I am now one with the stars,
Floating in ether like a mysterious sprite 

Here where I dwell unseen,
Is a land beyond all cares.
Here is such lively luminousness,
And such cheerful blaze
Cherubs on wings fly around joyous,
Where love is a timeless theme,
And where blooms a million stars.

From here, I shall pluck a star for you.
Let it shine in your eyes,
And mirror the blue sky,
Where I shall script the code of love

(I try to forget your eyes,
Two limpid pools brimming with tears,
When I set out on my journey
And broke through the clouds,
Across mysterious realms)

Now as we are apart, we shall treasure,
Our silent love, spanning across realms, 
Till you come to join me, never to part,
To be extended to immeasurable eternity
Transcending the limits of time!

Valsa, you have done an outstanding job with this poem! I adore how love can span multiple dimensions. A heartfelt love story about a person who has passed away and is hoping to be rejoined by the love of his life. You have wonderful metaphors and rhythm in your writing. A Fave for me!
