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! Date of submission: 1/23/2023 Contest Name: 2022 Poetry Marathon Mile 25 Contest Sponsor: Mark Toney

Dear Harpreet, your poem flows with vivid imagery and metaphorical beauty. 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

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.

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.
