I stare unto the line between
The earth and sun’s effulgent gleam
light teeters through the curve of space
cascading to the floor with grace
vibrant tails and tongues of breath
lap up the stains of ancient death
whose darkness in the woods recede
as dawn begins to slowly bleed
O God, the chime of aubades cry
and sear the clouds and burnished skies
their luster thrown upon the ground
in waves congruous with morning’s sound
And thus a day is born anew
but still I am in love with you
O pity angel from above
whose wings beat softly, like a dove’s
O make birds cry with ardent glee
and stay immersed right here with me
a ballad of agrestal passion sings
from music birthed from young mornings
stay dear one right in my arms
in these woods that shall not harm
and watch dawn flicker from afar
a blazing, jaundiced sinless star
whom burns forever a coral hue
just like my endless love for you

A poem written so beautifully is never meant for no one. Do you mind if I ask who this was directed to?
A user who used to visit this site actually. I fell in love with her over a year ago and I planned to meet her in May, we only lived 3 hours apart. We had an on and off relationship, she was a little fickle. After much hardship and rough roads throughout our relationship it’s finally over and I don’t think I’ll ever speak to her again. I sent this to her a very long time ago and posting this was my tribute to her.
I think I know who it’s for. I like it. I think you could write professionally if you had the inclination to try it.
If it means anything to you I would have loved to receive a poem like this from someone who I carried feelings for. Your brilliance and your passion in your words are very sincere and beautiful. Im sure she was delighted to read this from you. Although things didnt turn out the way you wish they did at least you got to experience the rush of love, which is clearly demonstrated in this poem. Beautiful.
This is beautiful, SB. 🙂
I asked myself if I could write this for my wife, and the answer came up “NO fuckin way” lol
Apologies, I forgot to reply before SB: Your poem deserves a better title! Keep writing!
