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.

Beautiful love poem. It has an element of the surreal. Nice rhythm and flow.
