Placed 1st: This or That, Vol 20 Poetry Contest, Sponsor: Edward Ibeh, Title: Follow Me


 

Follow me, my dear, to mythical shores of hypnotic dream, Sail on my fantasies, driving passions of your zealous theme, Afloat on tides of longing, musing on love’s passionate seas, Vying paradise of bliss, propelling desires love-notions seize, Savoring you in embrace romantic, ecstatic till the end of time, Extolling life’s moments euphoric, alluring our love in prime. As gilded smile of rising sun, sparkles gleaming skyline blue, And ruby rays of dawn twinkle from glinting morning dew, And meadows of spring-blossoms enthrall your fervid view, And songs of our doting hearts, strumming love-tunes woo; Cherishing memories enamored, forever vows we renew, In Elysium of happiness, fate designed just for me and you. Follow me, out of bleakness that questions meaning of life, Follow me to enlightenment that negates angst of strife, Follow me afar from the void of materiality, ego, and pride, Follow me to the realms, that wisdom and virtues abide, Follow me to self-awareness, questing halo of inner light, Follow me on path to eternity, within walls of this life finite.

I feel this will do SO well in the contest, themed 'follow me'. The way a poem begins matters a lot. Loved the first two lines.."sail on my fantasies, driving passions of your zealous theme"..very creative Vijayji. Finding a meaning in the beauty of life with the better half, renewing woes, and finally guiding her through the path of wisdom to see the inner light and enlightenment. Excellent. God bless...~ Ani

Yes, the walls of this life are definitely finite, but eternity is infinite in its time and size. It creates questions as to where one would choose to to spent it. Thanks for sharing this enlightening work with us and for dropping by my page. Sara

"And ruby rays of dawn twinkle from glinting morning dew", "songs of our doting hearts, strumming love-tunes woo", "questing halo of inner light" I'm in eternal surprise every time i read your magical poems and rufescent rhymes that can just melt anyone's heart. Your imageries, phraseology and word pairings are always so brilliant and the emotive sentiments swirl the soul in a very deep understanding of life.. Your version of 'follow me' is so ethereal, brilliantly done, a Fav with due respect!!
