Love Is Pain

cyst
of time
splintered night
in silent ache.
dim light of side lamp
glistened halo of moon
in some other universe,
where I long to hold you captive
in my own immortal  galaxy.
drape my darkness in your radiant sun
hypnotized within your constellation,
blessed by Venus in her silver light
where I know  you're mine forever.
hold me or I'll float away...
vestige of your kisses
escalates passion.
story sinks in
ashen skies.
Is love
pain?

Such a heartfelt and romantic one and i love the imagery and descriptive language you’ve used here in your perfectly written etheree! I love a double etheree and the fact that you used moon sun etc anr also expressed such longing and desires is so beautiful! I love that ending too! Is love pain? Good question: and “ hold me or ill float away” awwn! Brilliant! Thank you for writing! Congratulations

This is a beautiful Etheree, dear friend on the vestige of kisses... and a love that has withdrawn into the ashen skies. The last question, 'Is love pain?' reverberates in many hearts ! Thanks for visiting my page. All the Best Debjani
