Notes About The Poem
Mystic Rose Rose's Contest: A Rose In The Garden Of Love Resubmitted 1Mar 2025

Softly, We Drift

We drift softly together- -
hands glazing a window filled with stars
   where row of flora bends its twirling hips
               and curtains lift the fabric of breath,

until we become twinsouls in August's hours

    that bless the garden of devotion...

and in the stillness of dusk
      when all blossoms turn to virtues
                  deepening the fragrance of the sky,
we will find each other in a cradle
       of one rose in the glade--
         as a breeze disrobes our pores

stirring the ember of fireflies blazed,

that even moonglow crowns our love
      amidst the glimmer of  jovial kisses
           undefined by any name, while we,

in a bright pastel of August's rose,


  together... drift softly.

This is very deep and, I admit, I think over my head. I have read it many times and while I find it poetically beautiful, I am not understanding. Obviously, it holds much meaning for many people and is IN NO way a failure, I am apparently just not 'there.' Not every poem will ever have meaning for everyone and certainly not always the same meaning. Congratulations - it truly is pretty ... CayCay
