Notes About The Poem
written for the song " still in love with you" by Glenn hughes,
for Glenn Hughes contest sponsored by robert James Liguori.
Still in Love with You
O’ divine stars, sprinkling
ruby wine ribbons
upon idyllic fields,
where fireflies lit the night skies~
with feathers of nirvana,
dancing above weeping
waves of twirling time.
Listen to the perfumed
poem of my soul,
written from lilac pink liquid ink,
emanating the nostalgic
fragrance of a withered rose~
from Aphrodite's castle
of myrtle magic,
where longing and love float
in flavors of sweet blossoms
across pastel pages
of immortal romance.
O’ beloved, I hide these
amethyst affections,
behind the mist
of unspoken words,
in the warmth of morning dew,
while the bonfire in my heart
rises above to caress
diamond dreams
across your daffodil dawn,
for I love you still
and I loved you then…
I am drowning in my darkness,
whistling your name
into the wilderness,
wondering, am I in this alone?
Do you feel the same?
I’ve woven your
initials across
magnolia meadows,
while nightingales rest
on breathless branches,
crooning aching lyrics
I weave in sunflower silence.
Now the sunrise we shared
sails in sketched solitude,
as the pale shadow of midnight
is for poets pining to be heard;
seen beyond lying lies of fortune,
and suppressed melodies
of onyx tears,
while I question the melted moonlight,
in rhyme-less prose…
Have you forgotten our songs?
Am I the one to take
the blame for unwritten wrongs?
Would I see you again
beneath honeyed horizons?
Here, in the labyrinth of loneliness,
I search for a tune to lure you back,
like flowers that await
the return of butterflies.
I close my eyes for a glimpse
of your silvery silhouette,
’cause I’m still in love with you,
your voice, your touch,
and all that you are…
