magnetic map

If to l o v e  you
    must I find 
        cosmic keys
let wisteria words 
 unlock the 
       ethereal gates~
to dream within 
     the celestial warmth 
of your 
      amorous arms
     to taste phrases
fragranced with
           crystal amber
                       lunar drops …

and to breathe 
            p e a c e
    must I swallow 
petrichor memories 
     resting on 
         poisoned petals 
as this love is 
    a murky mirage
of white 
         oleander wishes
and I forever dwell
    in the aftermath of
what once was written
   as 
t i m e l e s s romance …

but can the 
      distance between 
  twinkling topaz stars
trace the 
     magnetic map 
   to your hibiscus heart 
where sky spills 
       no blemished rhymes
  and the wind 
       sings not of scars?
perhaps the moon 
and 
   astral flares 
  shall sync 
      with
          peridot waves~
to serenade serenity
     resting amidst
                 pensive silence. ..

Always the love poems. I love it. Love makes possible, the things we think are not. "Perhaps the moon shall sync with the waves~ to serenade love, resting in pensive silence." I want to watch this wonderful display.

IE, well we certainly hope so! Of course, it takes some calm action on our part and we have to let the planets align over time. As you say, they may or may not. I love how you answer your question with "perhaps." We don't control the universe and have to go with and be satisfied with what is available for sure. A very interesting poem created in a few lines that generates a lot of thought! Smiles!!

That's the poem to end the year. If it's out in the cosmos, will it find you, who knows. I would love to think it would, cos I'm always optimistic. All the best for 25, good times ahead.

Such an eloquent poem is a stunningly penned poem. I believe love operates in the same way as gravity in the cosmos. Your outstanding metaphors shed a layer of great talent. I wish you a good new year and send you light and warm hugs. Your poetry is always enthralling. May your inspiration be even more creative.

This is very sweet and very romantic.. Distant love or infatuation is never easy and i like the idea of a magnetic map drawing two heart together... in six lines you have created emotional imagery of romance and love... If only the moon will sync with the waves and serenade love to you, so you can be with your beloved... nothing as beautiful as being in a beloved's flower garden dear poet.. Rumi said so... All the best in the contest..
