and Love


And how
have these faultless prisms
become my eyes, my soul
a place where nothing dies,

and doubts like diamonds
find weariness and their own dust
in time,consumed in fires
of pure passion within.

Eternity is within the core of life
a place as existence began, a stream
wet with breath and struggle
where thought and Love
will watch mountains and evil
pass away.

    I have often thought of entering my own contests. I think I posted them as much for my own inspiration as for other.

    Anyway, fantastic gorgeous sexy poetry full of love!

      well Zayra your words have always inspired me, so i'd hope the same for others... so many of my poems have begun with a word or comment or a line of verse from a voice I enjoy...PK

    I'm happy to see you adhered the 'enter your own contest' idea. You really let yourself be inspired by Bandeira. I like how you kept your thoughts clear, yet you used words that bring the minds to wander, in a lovely space.
    Prism and diamond, made me think of purity of love and how transparent we can be when we are in love.

    Beautiful poem
