Bonhomie

If you embrace poetry, you'll never be alone,
It surrounds you, a cloak in which you're shown.
Time burns in its fire, fragrance prevails,
Poetry is a world unto itself, like Utopia's vales.

A lake of purest waters, sustaining life's breath,
Sprouting from hearts, seeping into hearts' depths.
Twining one and all who let themselves
Into one, like one, only one that delves

Into the depths of bonhomie's embrace,
This one, none other, reveals its grace.

Thanks dear for a positive comment and heaps of love for reading my poem. I here tried to treat bonhomie (sociability, geniality) as an individual or creature made out of the love and friendly spirit, poetry spreads everywhere. Stay blessed Dear poet, you appear to me as a torch.:) thanks a lot.. HUgs
