Mysteries Of Love (A Sestina)

Your beautiful face, an illusion from a lost dream
which awoke my soul to the desire for your love.
From that moment in time you stole my very heart
placing deep inside it a yearning for your caress.
My mind wondering of your intriguing mystery,
could it be that it was you who was my destiny?

Silently your soul pondered if I was your destiny,
as many dark nights you wished for me in dreams.
Masking your feelings behind a cloud of mystery
but alas, your eyes could not conceal your love.
So softly pleading, quietly longing for my caress
calling me to capture and forever keep your heart.

Winds of fate brought together two lonely hearts
showing them the pathway to their shared destiny.
A lifetime filled with warm love and tender caresses,
an unsaid knowing of each other's thoughts, dreams.
Across eons of time fate has given us a lifetime love
to explore and nurture a soul mate's deepest mystery.

Together we unravel each other's intimate mysteries,
reaching into the farthest depths of the other's heart.
Both of us so fully aware of passion and desired love,
that was wished for on a star and granted by destiny.
No longer roaming through the darkness of a dream,
a long lost search for completion gone with just a caress.

Intensely two souls embraced, as two bodies caressed
both euphorically lost in a world of exquisite mystery.
An everlasting union of devotion together we dreamt,
a beauty that will forever reside within the other's heart.
Stars twinkled passionately with what they had destined
reveling in their triumph and the merriment of lovers.

Silent, but not gone is what has become of that love
a desperate, aching need for that not forgotten caress.
Searching through the vast darkness for a lost destiny
drowning in a sea of screams, a madness of mystery.
Still there is a knowing that one day these two hearts
will reunite, until then they wander through the dream.

True love is merely a lasting beautiful mystery
a caress so intense as it falls upon ones heart
destined never to fade in the darkness of dreams.

    This poem is amazing! The last stanza surprised me! Not the ending I expected, but I think it made the poem even better! The way you showed the need to touch and be touched was simply beautiful. Your poem carry the feelings and emotions very well. Not corny or sappy, just perfect for the feel of this poem. An excellent Sestina in my humble opinion!

    This is a very difficult form to write, perhaps the hardest of any I've tried except for the pairing of an Acrostic and a Sestina ( what I fondly refer to as hell in poetry ) You've done well with this form and the poem is very suiting for the form itself. Beautiful

    just the word destiny enraptured me to your poem. Can this love be fate some ask, or is it just pretend, it is hard in the day and age to decifer, only if we truly open our hearts will we find out.

    True love is merely a lasting beautiful mystery
    a caress so intense as it falls upon ones heart
    destined never to fade in the darkness of dreams

    These lines ring the voice of truth in my ear. This was an amazing poem filled with powerdul emotions and carefully chosen words. good job and keep penning.
