The soul within the Soul cannot be sought
its wisdom neither bought and never taught
its clarity of Light is never fake
its adoration purely for Love's sake
Enlightenment a tender gift Divine
it weaves upon the heart its soft design
the soul endowed with such is kept in hope
and faith the powerful rope on life's steep slope
No crudeness falls from lips touched by his Lips
no fear within the hearts in wait's ... ellipse
and wisdom spills itself in soft divide
it never hides: cannot be kept inside
Enlightenment's the joyous moment shared
the sparkle in all turbulence declared
sheer wisdom within Love sets souls apart
from those who seek to wound the tender Heart
Core's Light of Love does not seek to debate
its line is straight: it neutralizes hate
no fragmentation of the soul in lust
it merges with the one in One in trust

“YES !”
this is what I feel when I read your verse …
and it is not only the perfect iambic pentameter that
seduces me here … or the elegant vocabulary … nor
the creative rhymes …
although here, the beauty of the form reflects the beauty of the core …
it is often said that the mind is like scissors : it separates
while the heart is like a needle that unites
when you speak of “Core's Light of Love does not seek to debate”,
you offer us such a precious message …
I thank you from my heart for this nectar-filled jewel of poetry …

lovely
I could not choose between wisdom and love, and went straight for light. We see it in others, reflecting from ourselves. I love this idea, true for me, "faith the joyous rope on life's steep slope".
There could be some tweaks to the meter here and there, but you have defined the gentleness of enlightened souls.

a good piece of form poetry penned - let the light shine and spill smiles in the heart of all. love and hate are very closely related i think, but love always comes on top
