Love Transcends Stars

Listen to poem:

Written: April 16, 2024 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Aloof seashore, unmoored and carved Ambrosian aesthetically alluring In twilight's yearning glance, Once loaded, linger and hinder Stars strewn swathing sapidity sky Nostalgic aura of bygone memory Before experiencing love, One must bond with sadness Within the confines of truth Must first be honest with himself, as I wake up each morning, I place my feet on the floor My pure and unburdened soul comes to mind anticipatory stirring of emotions within I linger idly, akin to a seed yet to bloom Yet, in the depths of my soul, day and night I'm unaware of the tears that will soon fall. I wonder: Does the sun shine? Is it a sylphlike seraphic splurge? In a virtuosic wispy beyond reach? And, with a virile embrace By the shore, aurora glow swirls Or the porch light gentle glow. Gazing in sight—chatoyant soul shines But I am aware of the truth Your love extends beyond stars You could have an elixir melody But not as deep as your love Your love illuminates the skies In your vicinity, my eudaemonia, yet satiated with yearning desire However, if you decide to remain My heart is yours to retain It quivers with the sound of your touch Yet, fear and false feelings abound Your love is a distant star in the sky While Eden is albeit far away.

Dear Sotto, Your verses unleash a wealth of longing and introspection, each line a gentle tug at the heartstrings. Amidst the ebb and flow of emotions, a profound truth emerges: before basking in the warmth of love, one must confront the depths of sadness. I really loved that in the quiet moments of dawn, as uncertainty lingers like mist over the sea, your words are filled with raw honesty. Sotto, although Eden may seem distant, the echo of your touch reverberates within, a testament to the enduring power of love. - Blessings, Daniel

Very deep insight in these lines, my friend: I linger idly, akin to a seed yet to bloom Yet, in the depths of my soul, day and night I'm unaware of the tears that will soon fall. Splendid write, Lasaad.

such eloquent words within your poem. I felt a certain yearning in your poem along with wonder as one searches for the meaning of love and life. I felt the need for a deep human connection within your word, alliterative phrases and images. I especially liked " Does the sun shine? Is it a sylphlike seraphic splurge?" The questions you ask are thought provoking and will stay with me throughout the evening. Wishing you a pleasant evening, your poetess friend in Texas, Sara

Hey Sotto, your poem expresses a yearning for connection and fulfillment in love, tempered by a sense of resignation to the uncertainty of the future. The closing lines convey a willingness to embrace love despite its challenges, acknowledging the bittersweet beauty of yearning and longing for something beyond reach. Overall, the poem evokes a sense of melancholic beauty and introspection, inviting readers to contemplate the complexities of human emotion and the search for meaning in love
