Ballad Of Beloved Final -

If You were to be my final ballad,
bold and blazing,
bleeding ink burning eternally
would the book of my life
be closed on a death bed of bliss,
sealed with a locket of Your lovely longing,
perhaps left open upon my chest
to where You and I confessed
that our love is a natural obsession,
that torturous distance 
made our passion more deft,
that Time was not an enemy,
It has been an ally 
towards the evolution of our devotion,
the last heartbeat of a Poet Man
haloed by phoenix quills of love,

If You were my final kiss,
tight and liquid hot,
let's have our lips hold on long 
to a breath immortal
unfading as faith fearless,
reverberating into the Valhalla 
of Love ever living,

If You were to induce my final tear,
searing and falling 
into the open mouth of my truth
It will be voicing an ultraviolet 
cymatic oval
pitching into a promise 
that is already realized,

If You were to be my final fear,
let It be that I am scared
of not being scared 
of lovin' You all the way...

~ flow and the way you pair words is not like regular poets, you definitely are an amazing wordsmith, and your poems emanate such deep emotions which I sincerely admire! Theres various shades of emotions in this that I cannot help but be in awe of! I felt like reading a little here tonight ~ away from reality. And I don't regret getting on soup tonight. Authentic poems like yours are impressive and worthy of accolades! Sending you light today and always ~ And ofcourse its a fave

Dear Justin, I absolutely love this ballad, the title is stunning and the devotion and love youv expressed throughout here is just so very soul stirring. I long to be someones final ballad or sonnet ~ how beautiful is that to be the finality! This feels like a promise of passion and foreverness, and such love to be read is a pleasure and also painful at times when true love is found through poetry except rare occasions. Your poem flows well and I always admire how subtle and smooth your alliterations
