Sotto Poet Poet Free verse

Trapeze - Medusa Inspired from Glenn Hughes Song

Written: July 2nd, 2024 For Robert James Liguori Contest

                  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Patience has been my companion 
Through endless days and nights 
In the sweep of love
A gentle caress upon my essence
Emotions stir within
Rise with the sun, my dear 
May you never stray. 

You've been evading me for years
Spinning in endless circles 
Forever spinning outward
I have a love that fills my heart
An unspoken love, concealed within
Patience has been my companion 
Farewell. 

In anticipation of my love's arrival
Oh, longing to embrace my scope
Emotions stir within
You've been fleeing, always on the move
Caress the depths of my being
Pause for a moment.

thriveni c mysore July 16, 2024 at 1:28 AM Ah, what a way to express! this is better than a song. 'Emotions stir within/ Rise with the sun, my dear' gives beautiful meanings too. 'pause for a moment' so well written. congratulations dear poet.

Valsa George July 5, 2024 at 10:43 PM A very passionate plea to the loved one to pause at least for a moment to ease your love laden heart and caress the depths of your being. Unrequited love is a nagging pain. You waited patiently all these days and months to get a positive response. But as there is only silence from the other side, you have to bid farewell. Such a soul stirring poem, powerfully unraveling the frustration and pain of unreciprocated love. All the Best dear friend. I am sure this will be placed high.

Daniel Henry Rodgers July 5, 2024 at 8:04 AM Hey Sotto, Well, to start off, I would say I love how you've captured the bittersweet feeling. It takes a lot to wait for love, with such patience as a constant companion primarily through the ups and downs. Your wonderful imagery really brings home the emotional journey you're describing. – Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Silent One July 2, 2024 at 12:48 PM After my very long pantoum with lots of song titles, I don't think I can write for this contest... But, will see if I have a brainwave.. Your poem is a tender and introspective exploration of love's enduring, often painful, presence in one's life. The use of lyrical language and evocative imagery effectively conveys the depth of the speaker's feelings, making it a touching and relatable piece.
