John Gondolf Poet Rhyme

Love Waits Patiently

                                                           Love waits,
                                                                patiently,
                                for those who dare to dream,
                   and envision what their future can be
            while waiting for their spirit to be set free.
        Suspended between sunray and moonbeam,
                                                     time stands still,                  
                              as they anticipate nature’s will
                                                                together,
                                                  -forever-
                                      together,
                                      as they anticipate nature’s will,
                                      time stands still,
                                      suspended between sunray and moonbeam.
                                      While waiting for their spirit to be set free,
                                      and envision what their future can be, 
                                      for those who dare to dream,
                                      patiently,
                                      love waits.

Ann Peck September 4, 2021 at 7:49 AM So beautiful, John. I especially like, "suspended between sunray and moonbeam..." Reversed, the poem is just as lovely. Take care.

Take care, Ann John Gondolf September 4, 2021 at 11:35 AM Thank you so much, Ann, I appreciate your thoughts and comments and taking the time to read one of my older posts. John

Susan Ashley June 2, 2021 at 7:16 PM John, your love poem is so beautiful both in emotional artistry and artistic formatting. Expressive and impressive and so very eloquent. Congratulations for your excellent win in Juliet's contest. Warmest wishes, my friend.. ~Susan John Gondolf June 4, 2021 at 2:27 AM Thank you, Susan, your thoughts are much appreciated. Hugs, John

Juliet Ligon May 23, 2021 at 6:34 PM Congratulations, John! I love that this reads both ways then comes together in the middle with the word "forever." John Gondolf May 24, 2021 at 4:58 AM Thank you, Juliet, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for hosting the contest. John

Marilene Evans May 23, 2021 at 2:05 PM So beautifully written, congratulations! The question is does love really waits patiently? Sometimes it comes; but the timing is not right... so it flickers and fizzles... until maybe, same love comes a second time.... the right time... Have a good Sunday. John Gondolf May 23, 2021 at 4:57 PM Thank you for sharing your thoughts and comments, Marilene, perhaps you are right, timing is important in love as in life. John

Tansy Roekaerts September 20, 2020 at 8:36 AM I wrote effusively on my feelings about this poem but thought i would embarrass you so tried to send via soup mail. you write so well on love. unsurpassed. i am a cynic but you made me believe. all art derives from art and cliches are unavoidable. but you side step them all and create something so fresh it makes you believe. John Gondolf September 20, 2020 at 11:10 AM I would love to hear your effusive comments on this poem and love in general, Tansy, I don’t think you could embarrass me if you tried. I welcome your soup mail. All the best my friend. Hugs, John

Mirek Eric Sulkowski March 24, 2020 at 1:40 AM Minimalistic. Refreshing. And the visual aspect (Reminds me of a spinning propeller) John Gondolf March 24, 2020 at 8:31 AM Thanks, Miroslav, I appreciate your thoughts and comments. John

Brandy Nicole September 13, 2018 at 11:18 AM :) Congratulations John, on this win. This poem should be printed out and placed in a frame. Your thoughts whisper gently along the page.

CayCay Godwin September 2, 2018 at 7:14 AM Indeed, reversible - patient waits love. Being silly. I wrote a reversible poem once without intending to do so, a fluke, now I cannot (as yet) write one deliberately. This is very creative, enjoyable and appealing, John. All the best ... CayCay John Gondolf September 2, 2018 at 8:32 AM Thank you, CayCay, this form just kind of evolved as I was writing it, I appreciate your thoughts. Hope you are having a wonderful holiday weekend. All the best. John

Runping Chen August 29, 2018 at 4:10 AM Great! John. An interesting piece with a brilliant patter to present the theme as love is over there forever. John Gondolf August 29, 2018 at 4:21 AM Thank you for your comments and thank you for taking the time to read my poetry. John

Robert Lindley August 27, 2018 at 4:28 PM The depths, beauty and enlightenment in this gem are epic. Truly a delight to read and marvel at its conception, execution and eternal truth given the reader.. A fav.. a soulful song my good friend.. John Gondolf August 27, 2018 at 4:45 PM Thank you so much, Robert, your support means a great deal my friend. When I came up with the idea for this presentation I wasn't sure how it would be perceived but from the comments I have received I think it came across well. Thanks for tagging it as a fav. All the best. John
