Life's a Beauteous Dream

I dreamt a dream that renewed kindred memories
Rekindling past passions of moonlit love-themes,
Enamoring love-embers blooming heartfelt longings,
Crooning hints-romantic~ life’s a beauteous dream;

When merrily you enthralled me in springs of yore
Fetching yesteryears’ treasured keepsakes to fore
Lauding pages of albums seasons bygone adored
Reviving ardent allure, questing for love evermore.

I recognized fervid smiles of twinkles in your eyes
Tethered bashfully to arc of love on fulgent skies,
As together we watched winsome emotions climb
Inscribing on celestial canvas, halo of love sublime;

Just as Venus smiled and Moon winked impishly 
When brilliant stars avowed~ forever we shall be,
And song of lark strummed of a mirthful morning,
Rising in paradise you envisioned for you and me.

Embraced in delight through night’s blissful fantasy
Inflaming love’s yearnings stoking endearing instincts,
Ascribing form and meaning to abandoned reveries,
Greeting me, you agreed~ life’s a beauteous dream.

Dear Vijay! What a profound and brilliant writ this is! I absolutely love this poem, it gives me the shakespearre vibe! Just impeccable diction, metaphors and imagery. The way you express emotions is unique and worth reading always. I remember reading one of your poems when i first joined soup, and i instantly knew your work would be something i would enjoy. And i was right! I especially love “ Just as Venus smiled and Moon winked impishly When brilliant stars avowed~ forever we shall be” FAV

I love your loving Metaphors that transcend you into reality, you reel the reader in with an adoration for a beloved and carry us through in romantic feelings for her and at the end were reminded it was a dream. Love how you made us forget of the dream state and made us awake in the moment to feel each word and then at the end to bring us back to a dream. Clever play on words but more importantly Vijay was the love in your metaphors that were unique and beautiful and it is always a trademark...

My dear friend, Vijay, your exquisite metaphors are of the highest caliber, and the lexicon you choose to portray them is just magnificent. Such seductive phrases draw me in so deeply that I can't stop reading from the first to the final verse. A beautiful dream, one I don't want to wake up from; best of luck in the contest, Vijay. This is my fave.
