Quest

"The true beauty of love is clear
            a bond to be until we disappear"...Poet


I know the pangs of yesterday
in my quest for eternal love
I've passed through the shades and shadows
   of emotional failings
where my heart lingered too long
   on endless memories
of passionate fires that turned into ashes
and lay as markers on the road of my quest
   to find an eternal love
through the weathered days and nights
   of life's brambles and briars
before her eyes found me, in a darkened wilderness
where her heart's lamp lit the way
   to fulfill my quest
with sensual passions pouring
into my soul with a promised perpetuity
   this love, this lover
gives purpose to dreams dreamt
in the ponderings of our world
where our binding souls fly
    across the Milky Way
two star-dazed lovers in a universe of dreams
two flaming stars traveling through time
   leaving a burning trail
like a match struck to flame on a black sky
that stills our heart's heavenly wishes
where we are tethered to beauty
in lover's arms of warmth and wonder
as we bathe in the sweet scent of roses
whose leaves drip dew upon our skin
until the dawn of each tomorrow
   finds our hands tightly held
as we cross the fields and meadows
   of untouched days
until our earthen yesterdays
meets the sky of our tomorrow
where we'll free the jewels we've carried
   in our hearts 
that add memories to memories
   with each step taken
and brings us closer to our lives' final horizon
   where love has led us
to this everlasting sanctuary of serenity

Ah this is so beautifully woven dear frederick as always, whatever you write is so soulful and sincere and leaves the readers feeling the depth of what you deliver. I must highlight the imagery here, and how descriptive it is, especially “ two star-dazed lovers in a universe of dreams two flaming stars traveling through time leaving a burning trail like a match struck to flame on a black sky” wow! Thats so artistic and unique how you’ve written that! Truly! A fave for me it is.
