Placed 1st: Musings of Love Poetry Contest by Ink Empress


 

O, take me there, where mystical realms of starlight glisten Pearlescent tapestries, indulgent in ethereal aura of Venus, Emboldening me in celestial embrace, swept in your love, As you ignite embers of passion, setting afire ardent souls; When elatedly I speak, to quest amorous, of flirtatious eyes, Greeting your smile, charmed in radiance of moonlit skies, Humming rhythms esoteric, not heard, in quite some time, Laudatory of fervid senses, blooming in tempest of desires. There, as you recite preamble to our life, extolling paradise, Together we rejoice, purity of joy, in blessings of Aphrodite, Longing heavenly garden of Eden, themes amatory entice, Scripting blissful allegory of love, verses enamored write. Listen my dear, as love strums music, lauding a sacred bond~ O, sweet melodies, emanating from depths of our hearts, Echoing memories of yesteryears, fondly treasured for long, Tolling hymns affectionate, revered in life’s beloved song. Thrum now dear, tunes intimate, hearts and minds surmise, Exploring Milky Way, amidst purple dream-scapes of nebulae; Take me to mythical gift of life, lascivious in moon’s delight, O, take me to Xanadu, where love is the life’s ultimate prize.

Those of us who find love might be considered lucky. It's a beautiful place to be indeed and takes time to get there. I think finding someone to go there with you might just require some divine intervention!

I must say Vijay..' As I travelled the fantastic Lines of your in parts esoteric with hymns Write...I was struck with a sudden fiscal fit..'

Dear vijay, i alwYs enjoy reading your romantic poems, you write them in such a heartfelt manner, and the way youv written this is beyond creative and soulful, i loved the way youv used a touch of mythology too to convey longing and love in the most exquisite and sumptuous manner, so many lines stood out for me but i loved the most how youv written “ Take me to mythical gift of life, lascivious in moon’s delight,“ magical imagery and so moving! Brilliant alliterations, congratulations. Fave!

"When elatedly I speak, to quest amorous, of flirtatious eyes, Greeting your smile, charmed in radiance of moonlit skies, Humming rhythms esoteric, not heard, in quite some time, Laudatory of fervid senses, blooming in tempest of desires." Your tender love lyrics soar with taste and desire. Such poetry takes me back, to youthful times that I have allowed sadly to dry and become leathery; a spice of life reading your work realized sorely missed, emotions once cherished as my greatest substance, God's purpose for living~ that of Propagating love. Brilliant poetry!

Dear Vijay, What a a celestial serenade! The imagery is dazzling. I love how you inject love and desire with mythology and the cosmos, creating a truly mystical atmosphere. Your Lines capture the raw passion with stunning wordplay. Your closing image of Xanadu, "where love is life's ultimate prize," is a powerful declaration. It leaves me both wanting and hopeful. - Blessings, Daniel

Xanadu, Eden, Utopia, Nirvana, Heaven etal. Always the human fascination with paradisical places of pleasure. You did the theme justice, as always. Hey if you get a chance check out the video for the song Xanadu, performed by the band Rush. Very cool and surreal
