Falling In Love

Sweet-nothings of lover cooing like dove
A poem lovely as falling in love

A mating fervor of a smitten glance
An indulgence of impending romance

Invigorating sight of dazzled eyes
Unspoken dialogue passions surmise

Emboldening zeal of ecstatic dream
Strumming lyrical, mellifluous theme

Elixir of life cheering beguiled hearts
In blazing vibes enamored love imparts

Bowing to love as emotions cajole
Falling in love writes a poem of soul

I adore this romantic poem that so beautifully conveys the thrill of falling in love Vijay. Congratulations on your second place win which is first place for me. I am putting this into my Faves! I entered “ Aesthetic Autumn” which was an older poem but it didn’t make the winning list. Your poetry always brings me much joy and inspiration my friend. I agree with B.J. I hope you write a book of poetry. Have a wonderful week. Blessings xxoo

"A poem of the soul," "elixir of life" - just two of your sparkling images of love Vijay. Agreed, love is the "elixir of life" and of the soul propelling us into life's stream. I love your blend of words and images to create your uniquely wonderful poems! Congratulations on your win! Blessings!
