If Only You Knew

Golden sun enlightens contours of violet arc Painting mauve motifs on canvas of cosmic art When constellation of dewdrops sparkle on grass And thoughts of your allure enchant my heart, As in pristine meadows of sensuous past I walk Holding hands of dawn to reminisce love that was When you come along, cheering one more dance-- Oh, how I regret, not kissing that ebullient morn, Strolling in memoirs of your favorite garden Where gardenias court scent of rose blossoms, Crafting ode of love that's silent on fervor-- Alas, you've never heard rhythm of my poem, Shrouded in metaphors that proffer not a clue But it's always been true: there's no one but you For you see it enunciated in language of runes Where dreams you dream are passing through. Wish you knew I worship the ground you walk on And love everything about you just the way you are And ache for your moon, wish for your stars, For no one but you makes me feel--I have it all. August 26, 2019 Placed 2nd: If only you knew poetry contest by Silent One HM: Strand special 7 by Brian Strand

A romantic poem Vijay, the sad thing about romance and love is that some people waste words and some people fail to show it in their actions.. enjoyed your poem.. Congratulations on your placement in the contest..

Vijay, The kiss that never was...the one most remembered. Wounds the heart just to know such a thing exist. Very nice write. -Richard

If only you knew how beautiful and captivating your "craft of ode of love"! If only you knew how sweet and touching the "rhythm of your poem"! You paint genuine sentiments on a so impressive canvas of words and you do "enchant the heart" of your ardent readers! So fascinated by a great beauty you have created, dear Vijay! A gem into my fave list.. You never cease to amaze! My warmest regards. God bless you.

such a beautifully penned romantic piece... one never really knows the depth of another's love, do they? some cannot comprehend what it is to even love much less be loved so deeply.... lovely write :) hugs
