If Only You Knew Poetry Contest

If Only You Knew

Withered meadows of yesteryears ache, recalling memories forlorn,
As discords of then mourn, assailing vibes of now, emotions torn;
Yet I believe, love would have still vouched~ together we belong,
If only you knew, how to strum, sensuous rhythms of our love-song.

Gracing my embrace, lovingly you caress, my jilted sleepless night,
And on every dawning horizon, you still are, the halo of my delight;
As I believe, episode of love, would always write a lovesome theme,
If only you knew, you have long been, epitome of my romantic dream.

You bedazzle my memory, beaming grin of an enamored glance,
Being my Cinderella, avowing to rekindle fairy-tale of romance;
As I believe, you would still be the music, pulses-cadent impart,
If only you knew, you are the seductress, plucking strings of my heart.

In realms of desires, chasing bliss of your love, my passions call-out,
When you are in amorous cuddle, hypnotized by grip of fervent clout;
As earnestly I believe, you would love me still, even from miles afar,
If only you knew, you have been my aura, my fulgent northern-star.

Birds that always sung for you, serenade you, lauding your name,
Spurred by fond recollections, applauding memoirs of love’s acclaim;
And I believe, words unsaid would not be uttering, a sigh of regret,
If only you knew, love we shared, pledges eternal shall never forget.

Vijay, your imagery always "bedazzles" me - "applauding memories," "meadows of yesteryears ache," "jilted sleepless night" - as these images truly speak of a longing, romantic heart. So wonderfully written. Best wishes for the contest! Blessings and belated congratulations for your POTD!

Vijay, congrats on receiving recognition you deserve! You capture the emotion of a missed love very well and it resonates with me. I suspect it does with many of us. I think that we could have a lasting relationship with many different partners, and we hopefully end up with a good one. I think it's normal to think of alternate pathways from time to time. Just a fun exercise really that provides a short distraction. I try not to obsess over it. OMG!!!

In the desolate meadows of the past, you reminisce about memories with such intense emotions.Even from afar, the love you hold dear, almost a cinderella of fairytale quality, you recall in the realms of your desires. This is a very descriptive, emotional write that is sure to do well in Silent Ones competition. However good luck and congratulations dear Vijay on this Gem being awarded POTD honours...Hugs

"Yet I believe, love would have still vouched~ together we belong," -- after all is said and done, love is the only truth we know. "As I believe, you would still be the music, pulses-cadent impart, If only you knew, you are the seductress, plucking strings of my heart." Very beautiful, Vijay. "If only you knew, love we shared, pledges eternal shall never forget." People change, but true love is eternal, never leaving our ever quaking, conscious hearts. Excellent read!
