Phil Capitano Poet Sonnet

Not a Mortal Love

NOT A MORTAL LOVE

Ours is not a mortal love, one that fades or dies,
For I could spend infinity just looking in your eyes.
Ours is not a mortal love ripped apart by lies.
Forever in your arms, my dear, naked in my disguise.
 
Ours is not a mortal love like the ones betrayal hides
Committed to the truth, I swear, my honesty abides.
Ours is not a mortal love that anger savagely unties,
Peaceful is my warrior soul, my power to be wise.

Ours is not a mortal love unseen by human eyes,
For every loving moment is written in the skies.
Ours is not a mortal love, my heart belongs to you,
My body, soul and spirit, too, I gladly give to you.

Ours is not a mortal love withered on the vine
If ours is not a mortal love, it must surely be Divine.

Gary Bateman January 12, 2017 at 8:42 AM Hello Phil, I was parsing your poetry to get a general sensing, if you will, of the breadth of your writings for a "Quote" for your book. In that process, I can across your sonnet here "Not a Moral Love." It's wonderfully articulated and reflects a pervading spirit of the ethereal and speaks to an aura of "emotional intelligence" that seems to run through many of your poems. And in my estimation, this speak volumes to the passion you possess as a poet/write. A "SEVEN" and a "FAV" !! Cheers, Gary
