Privileged is the right of ingress, bearing your beloved name, 
To chambers of your heart, where burns a sacred flame,
Of inner sanctum divine, in sanctity of a heavenly place,
Strumming beats esoteric, vying ataraxis of ethereal grace.

Reserved for you and I, is a secret temple, tolling solace,
Where love and life embrace, in a sanctuary pure, flawless;
Where the bells echo, beckoning will of empathetic mind,
Affirming proclivity for affinity, aligned with motives kind.

When solitary thoughts linger on a grievous path of life,
When hurdles, detours of past, manifest anguish of strife,
When hurricanes and storms churn in destructive tides,
To shores of peace and tranquility, inner sanctum guides.

When life drives rudderless, perturbed in dubious plight,
Harmony of sapience and prudence transmit inner light,
Spurring verse of wisdom, as missives enlightened chime, 
Defying apathy and ignorance, honoring virtues sublime.

Only you and I can soothe, troubled tears of grieved sigh,
Only you and I can fill voids, when vacuously life goes awry,
As dialogue of reason and intellect inner sanctum revives
Empowering thoughts so inspired, where sagacity thrives.

Vijay my friend your poem resonates with a profound sense of reverence and intimacy, painting a vivid portrait of a sacred sanctuary where love and understanding reign supreme. The imagery of the heart as a secret temple, reserved for the beloved, evokes a sense of sacredness and exclusivity, where the flames of affection burn brightly amidst the tranquil chambers of the soul. Best of luck in the contest..

Gosh, this is a beautifully deep and reflective piece that explores the dimension of a love, which is both healing and possesses a sacred quality of guidance.. These words reflect pure wisdom and how evocatively you've described that life doesn't always remain shiny, it has its own darkness at times and I'm those moments, the flame of faith, burning in our inner sanctum, shows us the way. I love so many lines here especially "Only you and I can soothe, troubled tears of grieved sigh" Beautiful!

I have to believe that the recipient of your poetic affections is quite a gal, since you write of romance often. Inner sanctums are privileged places where only true hearts can find a safe haven - for life

This is poetry on another level, brilliant writing Vijay. Often we overlook the fact that it is within ourselves that we find real peace, our own personal sanctuary. Good luck in the contest and enjoy your weekend. Tom
