Notes About The Poem

Another non-contest poem. It gives me the freedom to write on different topics of a contest.

I breathe love

A lonely man survives breathing love, 
His heart and mind only dream of someone to love, 
Chances of meeting a lover may be a fleeting luck, 
But she is always on his mind. 

Dreams of love while watching nature, 
Red rose petals define her beautiful lips, 
Fragrant Jasmine feels she is around, 
Bird tweets, so sweet, as if she is talking to me. 

I breathe in love, I am blind in love, 
I only see her goodness and physical attraction, 
I am like a pomegranate-bearing plant, 
Which only flourishes, when other loving plant is around. 

One day I will get out of this daydream, 
Reality will set in to find real lovers are your kids and kin, 
Still, just breathing love, keeps my hopes alive, 
One day I will meet my supreme love when I am dead.

Hello Jay, what a beautiful introspective! I love how you explore the complexities of longing and the deep connection to nature. The imagery of love intertwined with the natural world creates a vivid emotional landscape. Such a heartfelt piece that blends with the soul! Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

We die when love is dead. So keep the flame of love burning in your heart. May you receive a lot of love from others while sheltering in God's love. Have a happy Sunday, dear friend.
