Gemini Heart

Meet me in forever,
where the moon enclasps
the enchanting 
   heaven above us,
for you, are the music 
     playing on loop,
and we are like 
unrhymed verses,
dancing amongst
 lyrical constellations~
waiting to be aligned 
as a sign of love.

Sometimes, obsidian hearts
will never feel the raging fire 
they rise above and beyond, 
as untamable phoenixes, 
ascending in burning hues,
to the eden in our
warm embrace,
interlaced with 
soft summer skies, 
where love finally feels safe,
flowing in silvery
    aisles across
a lake of flaring firestones,
a home for dreamers,
residing in fields 
of ever blue 
forget-me-nots. 
When twin souls 
   are entwined,
by sacred wings of angels,
descending through 
vermilion gold beginnings,
I question every 
nightingale that sings~
what could be the melody
that would unveil the tune
to orchestrate 
my own universe?
As I keep fighting 
the urge to 
disappear sometimes,
to silence these 
deafening screams in my head.
As everyday, I am different,
somedays my conscience 
confuses my spirit,
that this love is like a fever-
a disaster waiting to occur,
running in foggy breezes,
leaving me gasping for air.
When overthinking is a poison, 
my mind fears 
  these crippling changes,
echoing through 
our favorite songs.
So, how will I ever be able to
right every wrong,
without my savior 
that saved me 
from dreary dark 
dawns of December?
Perhaps, this was pre-written
in untold sagas 
of romance,
I am only complete, 
when I am within
the coincidental 
half of your gemini heart.

Here, I wait, alone tonight, 
until you become mine, 
so meet me in forever, 
where luminous clouds
unravel perpetual 
purple flickers in our sight.

Dear Ink, A gigantic gold rush of seamless transitions, rich romantic references, glowing visuals, and tender templates buttresses this peerless piece. Those who are privileged to read this have been pampered with gemstone verses. “When twin souls are entwined by sacred wings of angels, descending through vermilion gold beginnings” is my personal favourite. But there are so many. Sincere thanks for your reflections on my recent post from someone of your stature. Warm wishes Howard

What a beautifully romantic poem- I liked this "confuses my spirit, that this love is like a fever- a disaster waiting to occur, running in foggy breezes, leaving me gasping for air."- what a deeply honest way of expressing it, and I also like the quote by John Lennon, it worked well. A fav! Always know the gem that you are, a pleasure, just me!

Thank you for such a heartfelt poem. Can love be without heartbreaks? A little misalignment, such as trifling separation, is a testament to your patience waiting for perpetual purple flickers to entwine. Obsidian hearts would be jealous of your volcanic heat. Bravo.

OMG we are so different in style. I see what you were talking about. I can relate to an obsidian heart...but is it breakable because it is volcanic glass, or is it hard and dark like a stone. I have a big piece of it outside my door, and will be thinking of you now every time I pass by it. Perpetual is a difficult concept. I think about where the universe comes from and what happens to all of us. Better to experience as much as possible along the way in case there's no second chance.

I especially enjoyed this, masterpiece stanzaii "untamable phoenixes, ascending in burning hues, to the eden in our warm embrace, interlaced with soft summer skies, where love finally feels safe, flowing in silvery aisles across a lake of flaring firestones, a home for dreamers, residing in fields of ever blue forget-me-nots. When twin souls are entwined, by sacred wings of angels, ...gemini...fever...(wetted by) foggy breezes... purple ... sight" I wish I had more characers space.

Dear Ink Empress, Your poem is a wonderful deep exploration of love and self-discovery. The vivid imagery and emotive language create a captivating narrative that resonates deeply with me. The journey through fear, confusion, and longing, to eventual acceptance and hope, is beautifully portrayed. Your words are a testament to the transformative power of love. I loved this poem! - Blessings, Daniel

This one is really romantic Inky, you must have written it for one you really love and I see he/she is a Gemini, they say be careful of that star sign, but not all are the same, I know one is very sincere... I can see the dedication and devotion you have for them and how you rely on them, in particular in the following verse, "I am only complete, when I am within the coincidental half of your Gemini heart." I wonder how compatible Gemini and Capricorns are?

With an alluring opening line your poem invites and extols romance: Meet me in forever, where the moon enclasps the enchanting heaven above us---and it gets better from there : where love finally feels safe, flowing in silvery aisles across a lake of flaring firestones, a home for dreamers. Excellent as always, Ink. A FAVE!

The eternal love and the desire to be united with a soulmate in a timeless and enchanting place, dear Ink, is a precious query—you use rich and vivid language to convey these emotions and imagery of the poem. The word choice is evocative, with phrases like "enchanting heaven," "unrhymed verses," "lyrical constellations," and "vermilion gold beginnings" creating a dreamy and romantic atmosphere.

Oh dear beautiful Ink, this is purely heavenly.. You've described all the intricacies of love and those vivid feelings, combining darkness and light, so effortlessly here..Your words just glided in my mind and drizzled so gorgeously with a wonderful lyrical cadence.So true, sometimes our overthinking hearts even tend to question magic and in those times, the beloved rises like a saviour and making you believe in the 'forever' of affection..Just so heartfelt and soulful this is especially the end

I absolutely love everything about it!! With artistic metaphors, wordplay, adjective and alliteration, you've made everything flow together so effortlessly.. A fav, best of luck for the contest too! :)
