Loving thee is like loving time;
embracing blindly elusive shadows;
sealing daily a vow sublime;
dancing wildly as liberty endows.
Promises are graved in marble;
muses are sculpted by my dreams;
senses are purified of all garble
roses buds ageless as moonbeams…

Hey Massy, you are missed and there is no reason for you to be jealous. My english is more a myth than reality

Oh Joao..your poetry are getting so great that it is hard to believe your main language is not English *jealous*
I like your ppoetry especially when you add rhyme spices to it,too
it is so new to me to talk about Love as you did..your imagination is so powerful “Promises are graved in marble” we call it “Jan bakhshi” in Persion..I’m so sad,too because I’m pressed with the time and couldn’t get online more.Your page will be one of my the most favorites on AP in the summer inshallah.
Thanks for sharing this with us

Outstanding work!
An outstanding Lento with wonderful imagery and word choice! I am impressed with how well you've pulled this one off. I love the words you've used and they rhyme so very brilliantly. My favourite line is "muses are sculpted by my dreams"! I also like how you've made L1 and L3 in each stanza rhyme. Very well done.
All the best in the contest!
