Angelic

Where is the love you promised us always? Eternal love is 
cast out of heaven for the angelic it seems—Quote by poet

It burns deeply knowing our ways of love aren’t angelic
Love’s awe emerges then torn apart as old as a Christian relic
It seems true that blessed love can only abide in its
eternal among the angels above and only in the purest spirits
We mortals find the gift of love can be difficult at best
Echoing passions of no forevers with no peace or rest
Awaiting parting and its end with such sweet sorrows
Pink coral sunsets no longer signs of golden tomorrows
To paraphrase Shakespeare’s sonnet, love which burns 
brightest tends to dim the quickest—coal rakes and it churns
inside informing me that our ways of love are not angelic
Just to discover true love is as rare as a lost and sacred relic

Paula Goldsmith August 22, 2023 at 2:05 PM Congratulations on your win. A beautiful write/quote/picture. I enjoyed it. Have a great day............. I Am Anaya August 22, 2023 at 5:28 PM Thank you, Paula! Glad you enjoyed, have a nice day!

Brian Sambourne August 22, 2023 at 7:18 AM So good to see your poem a number one with its stark realism that love is often messy, troubled. Syrupy tributes to love that paint an angelic view are common. Your writing consistently has an original hue. Congratulations! Brian I Am Anaya August 22, 2023 at 4:40 PM Thank you, Brian! I really like that, original hue-it's nice to have a style and actually make the list, and if there is a time I hit a home run with a 1st place win, then better is the encouragement. Thank you again for yours!

Sotto Poet August 22, 2023 at 5:56 AM Back with heartfelt congratulations on your top contest win, with this so lovely poem. I Am Anaya August 22, 2023 at 4:37 PM Thank you S.P.! I can't keep up with most here, your poetry divine and so worthy of wins, I am just happy to have made the list! xhugs ~Anaya

Hiya Sharma August 21, 2023 at 3:12 AM "Pink coral sunsets no longer signs of golden tomorrow's", " True love is as rare as a lost and sacred relic" Oh wow, what an entrancing and heartfelt take for the contest.. With such aching and soul stirring descriptions, weaving melancholy.. Ah, so beautifully done, love this! I Am Anaya August 22, 2023 at 4:35 PM Thank you, Hiya! I'll have to check yours, your poetry is divine! ;)

The Situation August 20, 2023 at 3:18 PM I put together the ideals no marriage in heaven and God will wipe away every tear. when i think of angelic But surely there must be love there. I Am Anaya August 22, 2023 at 4:34 PM God is love and I believe we are one with God, the energy, the source, the three-flame fold-whatever you call God-God is love. Human love is work to keep alive!

Arlo Parker August 20, 2023 at 12:11 PM True love is equal parts broken and exalted; never consistent in poetic address. A faulty virtue in humans. :o) I Am Anaya August 22, 2023 at 3:55 PM A faulty virtue in humans indeed. But they say love can move mountains!

Sotto Poet August 19, 2023 at 5:39 PM The exquisite imagery in your poem, Anaya, evokes a profound sense of reality's influence on the angelic motif, thereby enriching and imbuing the entire composition with poignant human veracity. Your words, my friend, exude a remarkable authenticity and verity that is sorely lacking in much of contemporary poetry. Good luck with the contest. I Am Anaya August 19, 2023 at 7:47 PM Im delighted you found my thoughts genuine, and that you found the imagery exquisite, S.P. thank you for your kind words. Anaya

Robert Gorelick August 19, 2023 at 5:23 PM A fave for me. Anaya Like so poems are beautifully penned, rude awakenings can often be revealed in regard to the human condition. Good show, well done, Robert I Am Anaya August 19, 2023 at 7:39 PM Robert, I'm grateful that you found it favorable! Thank you.

Speaks Volumes August 19, 2023 at 3:20 PM Its so true! Everlasting pure unadulterated eternally blissful love between humans, seems totally whimsical. Two people with their own ideas, their own desires, their own weaknesses being a perfect match with each other, from the onset of love to the "til death us do part" bit, is admittedly questionable. Such realism in your words dear friend. Poetry needs more realism and truth. Well done. Life just isn't all angels, and sugarplums BOL A fave from me. I Am Anaya August 19, 2023 at 3:24 PM Hey, lady poetess it's good to see you! I was just telling David that I hope someone can prove me wrong. You make perfect sense Wen! Ha ha you are making me smile! ;D Thank you!

David Kavanagh August 19, 2023 at 3:08 PM Beautiful imagery above and within your poem Anaya, I sense reality’s darkness overcoming the angelic theme, which enhances, and adds human truth to the whole poem for this mere mortal, brilliant, cheers David I Am Anaya August 19, 2023 at 3:21 PM Aren't they lovely? I love them, click on the right on the image, like I showed you, many to choose from. I feel a romantic vibe going around. My beliefs ring true, it seems human love is not forever and we are in denial that we are truly attached, just hope someone can prove me wrong. lol Thank you, David! Cheers!
