Tonye George Poet Free verse

Jupiter tunes

You're akin to a blend 
of my favourite hues—
not just black, but
preserved, concealed, 
opaque, resilient, and
profound. Yet, a gentle 
gaze reveals a swirling 
display of myriad colours.
Not many can see it, but 
for you, I'd illuminate it all.
It's not merely white;
it's pristine, translucent, 
and unbarred only to your eyes. 
Each stain forms a pattern twirling
in my mind. I'd freeze time 
repeatedly to have you here, 
regardless of our state.
I'd rather you exist without
my proximity than not exist at all.
Have a wonderful day today
knowing it's special and
will always be. 
Happy birthday, vanilla,
shine like the diamond you are.

Valsa George March 10, 2024 at 11:14 PM It is a wonderful tribute to someone you love. He/she/it is not an embodiment of all perfections, but a jumble of brilliance and darkness, an amalgam of defeats and resilience. "Yet, a gentle gaze reveals a swirling display of myriad colours. Not many can see it, but for you, I'd illuminate it all." You are a true friend. You are committed to what a genuine friend should do. Well written dear Tonye....

Daniel Henry Rodgers March 6, 2024 at 4:14 AM Dear Tonye, Your words paint a portrait of complexity and beauty, much like the celestial bodies you describe. Your ability to capture the hidden depths beneath the surface is truly remarkable. I see this as a mosaic of emotions and experiences, each layer adding to the richness of your being. Your resilience shines through, even when life's challenges seem overwhelming. You have a gift for uncovering the beauty in the ordinary and celebrating the extraordinary. It has touched my heart in ways I cannot fully express. Keep shining bright, Tonye, for the world is a better place with your light in it. - Blessings, Daniel Tonye George March 6, 2024 at 4:33 AM Thank you for these wonderful insights, Daniell, I appreciate it. Hope to see you again.
