Best Sempiternal Poems


A Sempiternal Legacy

~they embraced in their dalliance~
her appetency held a depth so deep he just couldn’t 
resist placing his hands around her barren waste
(she reaches for him with ardor)

for tonight was auspicious and ebullience showered 
them with the twinkles only stardust spreads;
forever scattering allure and passion with strength 
and hankering devotion,
sowing their love with intentions of...
savoring each emotion

they conflated as if they were always predestined 
to celebrate marriage different from the rest-
the assuage erased the anguish;
what was once atrocious is now emollient 
(softer than ivory silk)

when hope goes awry they stand tall side by side, 
each wearing pride-
the crookedness of life transformed into candor and 
honesty
she decided to absolve her demure nature;
feeding the emptiness with the nourishment of 
his reliability and fervency for her brilliant mind

two auras ~kaleidoscopic~
enveloped by heaven's cobalt hues,
desire for love prevails with affection

her felicity swathed his soul,
his serendipity ran through her veins as if she was 
sheathed by his charisma;
a sempiternal legacy was left for the coming 
generational bonds yet to be formed

    love in the making-
saved 
         two 
hearts from breaking

Sempiternal Sort of Love-Ten Word Challenge

 We had a sempiternal sort of love. We endured nightmares of broken glass and hours of pure bliss. It seemed strange how he loved me the way that he did. See, I was always his cynosure. His daylight focal point leading him into a realm of freedom and relief. When we met I was nothing but ingénue. Oh boy, how my eyes were closed and he opened them and brought my essence to a whole new dimension. I remember that night he held me as we danced. Body to body, hands around my waist and sweet kisses on my forehead. The tunes of “Lady in Red” were mellifluous and I still remember the smell of his cologne brushed gently on his neck. He thought I had glamour and walked with lissome while my delicacy screamed his name. When I was young I was so demure and humble. He always had raging thirst for my chatoyant opalescence. 

We had a sempiternal sort of love. I remember the day he came to me and told me the bad news. It seemed like yesterday we had just got married and started a romantic life full of love and gratitude. You were crying, I started crying and we both wept until the sun came up. For there were no ineffable words to describe our sorrow. He was dying…therefore, I too was dying… I didn’t know how I could live without him, my sweet man. For there was no panacea in the world to keep his organs from shutting down. There was nothing I could do to save the other half of my soul. For he would leave me unwillingly and I would have to spend the rest of my days alone and isolated. My safety was delivered when we met and now my fear lives in the core of my heart. 

We had a sempiternal sort of love. Now I am nothing but a solitary deserted widow without a reason to live.


This is a ten word challenge given to me by Silent One. The ten words are:

1. sempiternal  2. ineffable 3. lissome  4. chatoyant  5. ingénue
6. mellifluous  7. cynosure  8. Panacea  9. mellifluous  10. glamour

Premium Member Sempiternal Keeper of the Watch

Amid the grace of quiet stones,
a stroll down pebbled path.
There within a forgotten time,
behind an iron latch.

Stands now in aged seclusion,
of monuments to grief.
A countenance in marble cast,
beautiful Angel in soft relief.

Heavenly comfort emanates,
a coronal healing swath.
Winged guardian to souls now passed,
sempiternal keepers of the watch.

Vacant Perdition

Vacant Perdition


Reeling listless
Empty story
Gazing, endless
Mandatory
Purgatory
Muted motion
Thinking sorely
Null devotion

Sudden urges
Fleeting feelings
Will emerges
Sailing ceilings
Disused dealings
Mislaid purpose
Broken meanings
Without service

It’s insipid
Bouncing bluster
Wisdom wicked
Nothing mustered
Lacking luster
Sempiternal
Filibuster
Silence vernal

Sempiternal Philia

It started day 1, and I don't want it to end
I wanna be your man, I don't wanna be your 
friend
you got plenty of friends, 
but I wanna be your 
soul mate
we don't have to debate, say no more
your feelings are what I adore
God gave me you, and gave you me
It felt like, to heaven, GOD gave me the key
until now, love never felt so strong
It seems like we've been together so long
Together, this is a Sempiternal love from 
God's will
From before to now, my dreams have never been 
so fulfilled

Sempiternal Kiss

Late at night, in the secret chamber far apart
A valiant knight, stands there, put his hand on his heart:
“With this ring, I plight unto thee my troth till death!”
She’s slumbering, the damsel in distress. Her breath
Divinely lovely, her rosy lips, they beguile
The fiery lordly, leave him, with the sweetest guile.
Deep within his bosom, dulcet sounds beat quicker,
Lambent eyes blossom, red face betrays his fever:

“Fair lady, why sleepest thou? Rise out of thy sleep
O deary, cast me not away, nor let me weep.
Awake thee, beauteous maiden! Awake! Arise!
I prithee, let me see thine orbs, before sunrise!
In woe and pain, I suffer from like no other.
I ache all o'er again, and I can no longer
Tarry here, abashèd by thy fleshly body.
Harken ere I succumb to thy charming beauty…”

After months of waiting, I kneel beside the bed
And fingering, at the blonde hair about thine head:
“Princess, how dark the darkness of Abyss must be…
Blessed be my last favor! In love with none but thee”

Nigh to thy visage, my late outrage to the realm;
—Thy lips I kiss for ages!—Into Heaven’s whelms,
I fall apace… How long this fantasia will last?
Till my Grace behold mine eyes, for a long time past.

In mine arms, thou shall awake or remain this way!
If thou fallest under the charm, avarice pays…
From ecstasy to agony—The deathly kiss—
There rests no heavier calamity, than this…

Countless minutes goes by, since my lips are on thine
Thus, I die! In death my lips thou sealest… decline…
But I care not… Thou art mine! How happy I am!
Thy tongue is so hot… what a delectable jam…

My lips are sealèd on thine!—Sempiternal kiss!—

On the morrow, after and beyond, I beseech:
“Fantasy not about the others! I’ll never
Let them slake their thirst, drink thine heavenly water…
Thy sole lover I am! Forever and ever!
And ‘till never sever, our link for another.”

I wish that somewhere, in the far distant future
I could meet with her, go back on an adventure.
My shape may change may be, but be sure, by my troth:
“My love will never cease to be.” I pray for both…
