POTW 22rd April 2018
To right the wrongs of love no flawless gauge exists Though visions unfulfilled can leave one bereft With tears of remorse for the ones who didn’t show Or lamenting the ones who came and left
Sparkly wings donned we cruise the starry skies Crooning songs of love to the silvery moon Mourning its presence being ~ Too late? ~ Too soon? Grieving for the ‘dish’ who ran away with the ‘spoon’ Rewrite your song ~ Compose a new melody Peek through those shades of pearlescent pink Discard the restraints of unrequited love Bask in loves splendor ~ lest it goes in a blink
Feel a whisper of the breeze ~ on those thundering seas The quest starts right here on this night crystal clear That rusty anchor raise ~ you’ve lingered too long It’s your ship to control ~ Reclaim the power to steer
I trust you like the music video clip by Australian singer John Paul Young. Still loving the sound of the Disco 80’s POTW 22rd April 2018

Wonderful romantic images, Maria. I especially love that last line. We all have to take control and "reclaim the power to steer" at certain points in our lives. Bravo! Hugs, Carolyn

I knew that this would be yet another gem my friend. And sure as rain it is... "" Bask in loves splendor ~ lest it goes in a blink"" And that I am, yet my poetry writing demands I speak of the bad things of my youth. You are by any standard a great poet and artist my friend! A fav...

Ahh, but you also speak of the 'bad things' because you want to make people aware of the 'pitfalls in life'. and the lessons you learned from them. I highly commend the way you bare your Soul. As the saying goes Robert 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger', and you my friend are a very strong man and a wonderful poet. Never ever stop writing, and thank you for visiting my humble works and faveing them. I am most grateful.....Maria Hugs

Many are the those who talk about love, but not that many are capable of addressing the topic as poetically as you did. An excellent poem, Maria, and the end stanza is superb! A fav! I like the song by JP Young; unfortunately it's not showing on here, even though I refreshed the page. Will try again later. Regards // paul

I do hope you were able to watch and listen to John Paul Young singing this song, so good. Thank you Paul, I know you have been very busy and I am really flattered that you took some time out to visit, and so happy that you liked and faved this, I so appreciate you....Maria Hugs

Love is in the air" a sign for the human soul to get ready to sail for your journey of Love. Love cannot be overwhelmed, contained or measured.. It is a powerful flow.. The crave for fulfillment is uncontrollable and can outshine us! Love is a journey of freedom within the soul with unpredictable and infinite outcomes.. That's your call Maria in the last verse "It’s your ship to control ~ Reclaim the power to steer" Passion in the hands of reason! A wonderful, insightful beauty! Thank you Maria.

Besma, you have the most beautiful way of expressing your words. I love both your use of language and your interpretative and profound comments I feel honored that you took the time to visit my poem. Thank you ...Maria xxx

WoW! Maria, You had me with the title alone. But as I started to read I it was not only the title alone. " Rewrite your song, compose a new melody" are words to live by. You already know how I feel about love and romance. Excellent job:-) Alexis
