Eternal Love

I wake to find the world in golden bloom,
the celestial dawn chases the night away.
Loving you is watching shadows flee the room;
greeting the hallowed warmth of nascent day.
Our quiet hours, though small to mortal sight;
scripts of fate, dressed in regal finaries.
Stars guiding wanderers into the night,
granting the weary spirit holy rest.
Of your stunning eyes, a glance I seek;
a lightning bolt across a midnight sky.
Whispers and a soft kiss upon my cheek,
makes the very towers of reason fall.
Thy voice, a steady anchor of life's veil,
declaring all the works of nature good.
The humble cup, left by thy hand for me,
is like a peace-offering from ancient earth;
In shared and solemn silence, I am free,
to find within thy soul my second birth.
We bide our time until the tempests cease;
two spirits pacing to a single beat.
In every breath, I find a new release,
laying my heart—forever—at thy feet.

Beautiful, Ken. I feel your love for your counterpart in this one. Well done. I read your blog about Contests. I agree that Contests here are a bit of a farce. I enter them to stretch my mind & test myself to see how well I can stay aligned to a prompt or theme, so whether I place or not is no longer important. Also, I like to see African flags on lists, Lol, which is another reason for entering. Sponsors can very easily check who wrote a poem by doing a search. When 1 enters a contest by same sponsor, several times, it is easy for a sponsor to recognise style. The ranking system is determined by whether 1 is a premier or not - so it is dollar bound. Two sponsors have said to me they know who wrote a poem. So the pretence is unnecessary. Best regards., Ghairo

I agree! Style of work can be recognized by the Sponsor, thereby circumventing the "anonymous" pretence of the contest. I enjoy the contests to a degree. I challenge myself to write better each time and to stay on point. All my best, Ghairo and thank you for your kind comment! Ken

Oh wow. I think you stand a good chance in his contest with this one! Isn't it crazy we feel like we have to announce to our readers that our own poems were checked to show no AI? Just a rhetorical question. You and I both know how crazy it all is. Lovely poem (btw, sponsors don't see what we write in the notes about our poems box. They only see it if they track us down. )After I judge my contests, it's a nice surprise for me to see pictures or ideas shown.
