For Emile Pinet's One more Monchielle Stanza contest

Love is a metaphor, which glows in vibrant hues. An abstract masterpiece from Da Vinci's palette, easing souls to feel peace. Love is a metaphor. A guiding moon compass with spotlights at midnight. Showing how lovers meet, then shine in diamond light. Love is a metaphor. Portrayed through Rumi's verse. With words that make you think, how will your sweetheart's lips, kiss you like quill and ink Love is a metaphor. Simple to comprehend. When conduct connects speech, words bloom from heart to tongue. Romance is what you preach.

Indeed love is a metaphor. Your refrain is so captivating. The sensuous descriptions add a rare sheen to the poem. Your fondness for Rumi is so evident in many of your poems. "Love is a metaphor. A guiding moon compass with spotlights at midnight". Love is light in the darkness and guides us. Beautiful poem on love and romance.

What an outstanding poem Silent One. Your poem was soulful and grabbed my attention with your Rumi quote. He's one of my favorite poets.(Wisdom in the simplicity of his words.) I thought your refrain, "Love is a Metaphor" was brilliant. Best wishes with the contes, Sara

Love is a sweet metaphor, and a much required necessity. Without it we starve emotionally. Hope your life is filled with it

You poetry on Love is as sweet, as enchanting and as mysterious as Love! One falls in love and could not put in words what meets that feeling! Only a poet of your artistry and grandeur is able to touch with an adept quill the essence of Love! Great poetry, Silent One! God bless you. Best regards.
