Way of Love

When love arose in your heart Like a potent wave of a turbulent sea, I remained in the seashore Being the strongest boulders and pebbles, Then people around praised my vigour, My adamantine quality, and I made love to you; in every minute Twice you kissed me, twice you Fell in love with my virility. At every night, in the midst of seclusion, You would fill me with your brackish essence, Did I love your fragrance. But I knew not what dire love resided In your heart, I knew not Ephemeral was my strength. When your waves pounced upon me, Receiving untold pleasure was I ravished, I dwindled, I broke, Day by day I have been reduced to Infinitesimal sand. Still you are as mighty as earlier, And drown me with your torrents, Dead.

Your poem reminds me of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's love poems, the essence is present here very much. It captures the passion of love with intricately woven lines that adorn your piece. Keep writing. Love Jhinuk.
