Harpreet Kaur Poet Free verse

Stream of Love

Nestled in the woods,
away from sundry glances,
she sleeps in his shadow 
and sighs in dusky dreams.

Her melancholic, frozen limbs 
ache for the warmth of his orb!

At the dawn of the mellow sphere,
embellished with his golden beams,
she sparkles with his splendor 
and smiles at the twilight wonder 
as his rosy glow suffuses her being.
Bedecked as a bride in sheer delight,
she serenades merry melodies to his divine sight 
and swings in joy with zephyrs.

His glimpse brings her veins to life.
Though far, far beyond her mortal reach,
he inspires her to flow with his rhythm 
and exude her ethereal beauty;
she’s a scintillant stream of love!

I especially adore “bedecked as a bride in sheer delight”.. but every verse is a gem. A splendid and enchanting piece. Congratulations for your excellent win in Mark’s contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan Harpreet Kaur January 29, 2023 at 5:02 PM Dear Susan, I am so grateful for your kind words. The best poems are the ones that surprise and delight a reader and the poet every time they read them. And this is one of them. I am glad you enjoyed its beauty too.

Mark Toney January 28, 2023 at 3:41 PM Harpreet, what a delightful, thought-provoking poem! I see that you've been with PoetrySoup for almost ten years. I am happy to make your acquaintance and look forward to reading more of your poetry. A Fav Poem for me. Congratulations on your win on Mile 25 of my 2022 Poetry Marathon. There is only one more Poetry Marathon mile to run before the Qualifier's Final Placement Contest! More information about the Qualifier's Final Placement Contest will be given at the Mile 26 checkpoint. Harpreet Kaur January 28, 2023 at 4:05 PM Thanks a lot for your kind words. I am glad you liked the poem. This comment means a lot to me! Yes, I have been PS for long. I made humble beginnings and have evolved over the years—courtesy of this wonderful platform. However, I go through phases of hibernation. And then returning to poetry fills me with joy and peace. I begin to feel myself. Thanks again for contacting me.
