Beyond Boundaries

Missing image
 

I've had visions of wonderful purity
    ones of love,
      of passion,
              of joy
    reaching endlessly towards a future
        unknown; unseen,
            by the naked eye


Dreams of perpetual fulfillment
          ones past physical limitations,
    beyond all boundaries,
                transient in it’s powerful essence,
permeating the woven fabric that is
                  the tapestry of our lives


Voices raised in perfect harmony,
  heartstrings oscillate into
    chords of pure beauty


Priceless gifts of deep-felt emotion,
        kissed by grace
  and by endless devotion


Enfolded in embraces of warmth-filled sighs
    a single heartbeat
                  shared,
            through lovers’ eyes

    Lovely and uplifting

    "Voices raised in perfect harmony, / heartstrings oscillate into / chords of pure beauty"

    *sigh* A truly wonderful poem! An excellently penned example of the potential to which free verse an reach. One understands why so many trophies were garnered for this work. Thank you for sharing it with me.

    "transient in it’s powerful essence," -> its
    "unknown; unseen," perhaps remove the comma? (I don't think it's needed, due to the line break)

  • Wow. amazing. This was beautiful
    in ever which way even if you
    turned it upside down and
    inside out this was just breath-taking
    and so passionate.

    Loved this

    Thanks for entering & best of luck

    These words echo a soft whisper cross the seas, from within two hearts that sing to one tune. I can appreciate every word of this one, and on reading again, would gladly embrace all warmth-filled sigh.

    Absolutely perfect in stirring the emotions.

    Full of cliche's and a grammatical error on the possessive pronoun but otherwise it's stellar

    What a wonderful ideal you have woven into these words. If it is obtained the two people you speak of have the most blissfull relationship of all time. It is an ideal to strive for. Many would be thankful for a relationship with this kind of devotion shared by both parteners. All your words are absolutely beautiful in this and I feel that they are meant from your heart. Your title and the poem are just right for each other and your poem is true to the propmt. I wish you well in the contest.

    *claps* Beautiful. Simply beautiful. I really love this. This is an amazing poem. It has excellant flow and is beautifully written. Love is an amazing feeling. Physical things in a relationship ahould NOT be put first. That isn't what love is about. I DO believe though that only two people that truly love eachother should have any kind of physical relationship. But it's not everything. Again I'll say it, beautiful. On a scale of one to ten I'm giving this a 10. Hands down. Thank you for entering my contest and good luck!!!
