Premiere Contest WinnerLast drop of ink

Love is a silent emotion,
invisible to open eyes.
But, I saw the naked soul
of her enigma - 
                       my universal truth.
A pristine state of perfection.
As her 'silence' whispered to my soul
in a million ways -  
                          I felt her pangs

As her spirit breathed my oxygen,
my heart forgot about gravity,
feeling immortal in every beat.

Now a small flame kindles in
her chocolate brown eyes -
                                       hotter than wildfire.

I see beyond her invisible veil,
hiding her divinity, wrapped under,
her tanned bronze satin skin.
Smoother than a bed of feathers -
                                                 would to touch it, be a sin?

Her fruitful lips of blissful nectar,
are an eternal passage,
covered in ethereal dew,
awaiting my soul with promises
for unseen paradisaical passion -
                                               a taste would leave one intoxicated.

The mind pleads with time to be kind,
for the heart to remain patient -
                                              for distance to not become an adversary.

Because,
nothing could define her elegance,
in any form of artistry;
a poet has no vocabulary,
a musician without a beat to his melody,
a painter without control in his masterstroke.

Her aroma is a rare scent from petals,
my hands could never fathom to blossom.

Her love is like the sun rays of a new dawn,
forever, ascending my heart with warmth.
I am her cloudless sky, for her glory to shine,
the ripples in her deep ocean -
                                            for her to bathe within me.

In my quest to be within her embrace,
I shall keep the vampires from her door,
slay the demons who bring her darkness.
Face Satan in his satanic seas.
Be the whirlwind in her storm,
releasing her from chains of uncertainty.

Once, I gazed at the stars,
wondering where you were.
My musings writing about your arrival.
You appeared to end all seeking,
filling my hollowness with endearment -
                                                         became the last drop of my ink.

She seems so perfect! This gives me a feeling of having sex with the girl of my dreams--who happens to be my wife in my case. There is no one absolutely perfect, but we can overlook a lot when feeling kindness and taking time to temper our expectations. It's not easy to maintain the reality, but the longing is beautiful. Keeping the feeling you describe is not so easy.

A charming delight, my friend. Your descriptions enhance the glamor of this quest:--Because, nothing could define her elegance, in any form of artistry;--a musician without a beat to his melody, a painter without control in his masterstroke---So elegantly pleading for object of devotion!

To see yourself as the source of existence means you value the care of feeding into another, but most of all the result. The responsibility to love with all your might and strive for worthiness. A beautiful poem.

You are an Orpheus singing always for your Euridice ! As Orpheus's music, your musings too can move even stones and inanimate objects. I am sure you are possessed by love in real life. "I am her cloudless sky, for her glory to shine, the ripples in her deep ocean - for her to bathe within me." Your love is deep like the ocean and broad like the sky. You breathe passion and wallow in romance.... an ardent lover who moves hearts. Into my FAVE.

Dear Silent One, Wow, I am utterly moved by the depth and beauty of your poem. Your words are an exquisite blend of longing, passion, and reverence that transcends the boundaries of mere language. The imagery is breathtaking, from the beloved’s flower garden swirling in hallucination to the intimate portrayal of her enigmatic soul. Oh, Your willingness to face demons and storms for her sake speaks volumes about the depth of your devotion and the strength of your love. A FAV - Daniel

I was moved by your prelude, "Silent One," from Rumi. This amazing effort inspires awe and admiration. This type of love is sinless, friend. Instead, it promotes harmony with the divine and contentment. That's one of the greatest submissions in the competition, and I like it. I instinctively know it will win the competition and make others romantic. Enjoying such exquisite poems is pure joy. Your portrayal of this person is captivating, and your writing is easy to follow.

Love the Rumi quote as an appetizer, Silent one. Rumi himself would love this poem, a tribute to placing Love on a pedestal to honor. No sin is this kind of love, my friend. Only fulfillment and a divine oneness to experience. A FAV for my collection! A worth entry for the contest. I sense great success with this offering ... in the contest and in love. A pleasure to read great poetry. Thank you. Bill

Quite beautiful! You soak in her and want to be her savior, keep her safe. She’s too holy for a poem, lyrics, or musical beat. Her fruitful lips of blissful nectar, are an eternal passage, covered in ethereal dew…just an example of your lovely words.
