Internal Inhibition

How fondly he recalls when doting moon stared Blush of her radiant smile gleamed opaline skies While cuddling stellar vibes love they declared And embracing her allure he venerated his prize. In womb of romantic night passions-grand aired Exchanging fervent vows, longing dawn of sunrise, When revealing prurience every intention bared In rhapsodic titillation euphoric feelings surmise. Alas! soon emotions hid—dispiritedly impaired When blissful times saddened hearing her cries As souls, deceptively beguiled, no longer cared, Silence between them grew stoking sullen guise, For rise of whimsical day, woefully unprepared, Shadowed glamorous arc, deeming fate unwise, And upon sanguine horizons stygian storms flared As the pledges of forever, destiny chose to revise. She pleaded to forget the love they once shared, Its flame was extinguished by whim of disguise; Dreams they dreamt could no longer be repaired Once the spark of aspirations abandoned her eyes. Suppressions of emotions left them bereft, unpaired, As lovelorn inhibitions roared, to spell their demise Exiting prized fervor, forsaking dreams unrepaired, Trapping unrequited love-vibes where passion dies. May 10, 2022 Placed 1st: Pick-A-Title, Vol 30 – Poetry Contest Sponsor: Edward Ibeh Title Chosen: Internal Inhibition

“Dreams they dreamt could no longer be repaired Once the spark of aspirations abandoned her eyes.” The sadness of this cuts deep Vijay. When the one you love no longer loves you. You have expressed this so vividly my friend. Have a great weekend. Blessings xxoo

This speaks of two people in love and expecting each other to be perfect. But when they both start seeing imperfections in each other some of the ferver dies. They become disappointed in each other and believe the things others may say about them. Sad but it has happened. Good write my friend. God Bless, JB

Sad that love can hide in disguise, but where passion dies, you only have to look in that person's eyes. My talented friend, you forever will amaze me with your intensity and profound uniqueness of breathtaking poetry. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
