Paloma P Poet Romanticism

What Love Is

'Tween Sensibilities' Splendor 

You speak adamantly of gentle courage
     and sharing spring's flourished nectar,
the swooning rhythm of swaying trees
   and the easeful breezes that flow
     'tween endearment's sensibilities,
misty moonbows 'neath dusk's stormy skies
     & lavender sunsets amidst rosy horizons,
affectation surging betwixt life's turmoils
     wallowing in self indulgence & indecision,
the harmony of olive branch surrender
    as thrumming heart's string patience,
it was then I comprehended, darkness doesn't
   last a lifetime whence lit by love's fortitude
