Past forever

You asked
if I would always
care...

As long as leaves
still curl to base
in season,
shooting stars
are lost in space,
past reason,

fleet rivers
flush to seas
so wild,
narcotic pollen
succours bees
beguiled,

as long as moon
lights lover's face
so bright,
and climber
fears not task
nor height,

while flowers bloom,
so strong
their scent,
true love's words
so sweet
are meant,

while Death
it blows not me
its kiss,
and dark
does not
embrace abyss,

till then my heart
for you
shall swell,
till last
is heard of
lone church bell.

    ...This I promise you.

    Fantastic

    Such soft passion and melodic whispers... And yes, that powerful promise at the end, for all the beautiful things that commenced. A heart-swelling piece, filled with the kind of love in harlequin novels, and voices of olde. You've captured a splendour not many can begin to describe, and so eloquently. I'm sure that my endless rambling has told you by now that I quite thoroughly enjoyed this, lol. Congratulations on the honorable winner trophy. A diamond of a write.

    God, I hate love poetry so goddamn much. Though the way you put this and your other love poem I read quite a while ago just makes me fall in love with the poem itself - what more can be said?

    Never ♥

    Ooh...this is splendid! It just draws you in, from the first words...very nice.
    I absolutely adore the comparisons to nature, playing on the innocence of a flower, or the dependence we have for the Sun...
    Yes, this spoke to me, as I'm sure it did for whom it was written..
    Thank you so much for entering my competition. Best of luck to you,
    Jin

    Beautiful

    your poem is superb but what really made me to read your thoughts is your poetry ID, CAMUS...I am A Great fan of him and when I read on your page, "Religion means nothing to me and I totally and utterly disbelieve in God. "...I want to say, hello brother..you are really Camus.

    Well done! This is the first of your poems that I have read so I don’t know your style yet. This poem is a lovely read and is different in the respect that it is an emotional and passionate piece yet the structure makes it a fast read and a hard hitting poem. It has a staccato meter and flows very rapidly.

    Love,
    Amera♥

    I loved the images. They're so gentle and yet so powerful at the same time. I loved the last bit especially. That was amazing. The devotion and love pours over this piece like so few...poems of emotion. I can't bring myself to call this a love poem b/c to me the term 'love poem' evokes corny and hoaky images and this piece is anything but. As always and excellent poem that I will come back to and enjoy repeatedly

    Beautiful images.


    >>as long as moon
    >>lights lover's face
    >>so bright,
    >>as long as climber
    >>fears no task
    >>nor height,

    The verses in this stanza seem too long, too wordy. It interrupts the flow you had going.


    Overall it's very pretty. You have very nice imagery and it really makes you think. Thanks for sharing.
