Bilocation Premiere Contest Winner

Bilocation – 2-11-24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bilocation

Love
Slips through labyrinths of tangled spirits
 Complexities and conundrums of misdirection
Released by prophecy,
Like clairvoyant fingers of misty sunshine
 in two planes
  sharing one minute.

Love reaches beyond boundaries of fluttering flesh -
A bridge point of lyric pointillism
 With the rhythmic respirations of one breath
  Inhaled, 
   Exhaled, 
    In poetic unison.

Love exists
Beyond mortality of bone and sinew,
Not begging for crumbs
At the prophesied banquet
 The festival
  That rains clear jubilees
   On every exuberant heart
    Reveling in its ecumenical caress
Wrapping cells, bound in time,
 With never aging, 
  Time released,
   Pulsing plasmas.

Love dissolves membranes
In transdermal hands of blessing
 Showering polka dots of zest  
  On the skin of souls
Transfusing showers of tenderness,
 Ardor 
  And affection
Into ever borning present – never past –
 Seeds 
   Planted like ephemeral timeless sunlight
 Without minutes
  Or astral lines

Love
Leaves permanent footprints
 All at once
  And 
   Everywhere.

I loved your take on love. You footprints leave an indelible imprint upon my brain. Truly, love dissolves membranes. I wish it were true in geo-politics.

Dearest Valsa, your beautiful words touch my heart like effervescent love sung in a troubadour's melody! Thank you so much dear friend. On the surface this theme seemed simple. In reality there were so many ways to express this concept but love won out in the end! Love, powerful, ever present and everywhere, all the time! Sending you my gratitude and many blessings sweet poetess!!

Hi Paula! When I saw this theme it immediately struck me that "love" can be in two places, and everywhere, at once. Then the challenge was to articulate that theme! I am thrilled that you enjoyed this journey into the power of love. Thank you so much for your feedback and blessings! Hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day! Sending you my gratitude and blessings!

Hey, Paul has got nothing on you (1 Corinthians ch 13). Of course, he wasn't inspired to write poetically about love, as you have done so beautifully here Sam. Always a winner!

I really struggled to express this concept but grace came and took over my pen and opened my heart to Heaven's words. So grateful for your beautiful compliments. Sending you blessings and gratitude !
