Timeless Tulips

Take me where merlot skies serenade songs of serenity,
I long for timeless tulips that twirl in beloveds embrace,
Where love is a thornless red rose, unfurling eternity,
hope thrives with tuscan gold blossoms, sprouting in glistening grace



I long for timeless tulips that twirl in beloveds embrace,
Fireflies flicker sterling sparks on the creek of my aching heart,
hope thrives with tuscan gold blossoms, sprouting in glistening grace
I condemn the many sunless mountains that keep us apart 


Fireflies flicker sterling sparks on the creek of my aching heart,
In your unwritten absence, my peace knows no tranquility,
I condemn the many sunless mountains that keep us apart,
Even the moon envies twin flames, that burn in sheer clarity.



In your unwritten absence, my peace knows no tranquility,
As we are like wildflowers, wading through a poetic place,
Even the moon envies twin flames, that burn in sheer clarity,
like divine dahlias lost in a rhythm within cosmic space. 



As we are like wildflowers, wading through a poetic place,
where love is a thornless red rose, unfurling eternity,
like divine dahlias lost in a rhythm within cosmic space,
Take me where merlot skies serenade songs of serenity.

A beautiful and haunting poem, IE. It must have been a challenging form. I am glad my last poem could touch your heart. I felt that I needed to do it. Best wishes, me!

I enjoyed the use of flowers in this well written pantoum. All the beauty of the world cannot replace the loss of love though, but it can help heal the broken heart. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara

You paint a vivid picture that immerses the reader in your imaginative and metaphorical writing, Ink. The words flow effortlessly, crafting a symphony of rhyme and imagery. Your poem is a wellspring of inspiration, filled with vibrant and evocative descriptions. Every line is meticulously crafted, enhanced by the skillful use of alliteration. The repeated lines intertwine, with a consistent rhythm, and significance. The result is a delightful tapestry of colors that enchants the reader's mind.

I really liked your title, Timeless Tulips, that would mean Spring is around forever... The season of birth is one full of hope and your poem is full of hope and imagery of beautiful petals and nature that surrounds us... Your poem flows and rhymes very well full of metaphors and descriptive imagery, which can be difficult in a pantoum, especially with a syllable count as you have pulled of here.. You do alliterations very well and what a wonderful addition you are to this community!

My goshh, such an outstanding pantoum carved with brilliant poetic skills, imageries, alliterations, descriptions, flower-references, colours and what not! I'm blown away by this write.. The rhymes maintain a mellifluous rhythm throughout and I just can't help but swirl in the gardens of these 'timeless tulips'.. Wow! With pure love's embrace, one's soul definitely glides in cosmic spaces and our grief gets erased by a magical spell..."even the moon envies twin flames" Ahh, that's breathtaking!

"In your unwritten absence, my peace knows no tranquility" So heartfelt and deep.. "Where love is a thornless red rose" I would love to be in such a whimsical world, "sunless mountains" Such ingenuity and creativity has been scribbled by your artistic quill!
