Unexpected

Written: May 14, 2023 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your dewdrops are bedazzling on dunes, Hides enticing sparks so haphazardly fumes. Your eyes, akin to honey, exude an inner charm, Love embraced your fragility with supple calm. My love, time has tainted your obsession, Captivating every pulse is magnetic affection. Your aesthetic evokes divine Greek magic, Dazzling draws blithely on peaks, ecstatic. Enduring aromas soothe my random fondness, Pushily puzzled by odd bond built by oddness. Magic is real yet scary as seconds tick by. Fear incites harm as sharp shards cry. Prayers to all those trapped in this maze. No one is or is meant to be scathe or graze. Mist emitted by crashing waves may stay. "It is only me," I whisper as tears of hope dry.

SP, I like something bad happened to this beautiful person, and we are feeling strange about the remnants that remind us of what was. You have a very kind and tender way of expressing these feelings.

I was totally engaged with your poem, lost in the words, imagery, and rhymes. Your poem had an almost timeless quality and flow to it that was captivating. The last line, though, grabbed my heart filling me with twinges of sadness. You have such versatility as a poet--a versatility that's inspiring. Have a pleasant evening, dear Sotto.
