A common miracle

L. B. Mek


Notice of absence from L. B. Mek
'fare ye well' kind friends


 

 

shimmering reflections

                   of the warmth, that wrapped him tight

dance, along the curves

                   of his angel, dressed all in white

 

every stride

                a twirl

in the heat of love's embrace,

every word

                a serenade

to their guiding light of fate;

 

dimming shine

                of a late summer’s night

unable, to dim the glow

                draping them, from head to toe

 

earthquakes planted

in the depths of strangers

                                passing-by

as yearning green eyes, fixated

at the unbridled joy

                               they coveted;

 

entrancing flames, emanating

                               from her guardian’s, chest

highlighting, the binding path

                               illuminated: by their drunken hearts

              yeah, found it by chance
              and it just went so well with the words
              I guess that's a serendipity matching, of sorts
              between a painting and poetry..
              thanks for highlighting the artwork Andy

              • SureshG

                Loved the crescendo ending “drunken hearts”

                • L. B. Mek

                  you too? how kind,
                  sometimes a little clichéd wordplay
                  just can't be avoided, lol

                  Master piece, i understand the earthquakes it s jelousea, i like the metafoa ''planted''
                  dimming shine

                  of a late summer’s night

                  unable, to dim the glow

                  draping them, from head to toe
                  this is flawless verses
                  but why ''green eyes'' ?
                  entrancing flames, emanating

                  from her guardian’s, chest

                  highlighting, the binding path

                  illuminated: by their drunken hearts
                  how much beauty hides in those final verses.
                  i also compared drunkenness with love in an old poem

                • Albert Elod

                  wow it s so insane did you mean that
                  the stars the lights in the night are reflections of his love for her, almost like he could light the wat using his love like a lantern

                • Albert Elod

                  you compare light with love right ?

                  • L. B. Mek

                    I did make that imagery alignment
                    and I am so sorry for this belated reply
                    for some reason I never received a notification of your comments
                    forgive my tardiness in replying, kind poet
                    so glad you enjoyed the read
                    I'm truly sorry if my lack of response disappointed or annoyed you
                    thank you!

                    The format of this piece is wonderful.
                    "dimming shine

                    of a late summer’s night

                    unable, to dim the glow

                    draping them, from head to toe"
                    Such poetic imagry so well written.
                    "entrancing flames, emanating

                    from her guardian’s, chest

                    highlighting, the binding path

                    illuminated: by their drunken hearts"
                    This passage struck me the most in that there is an inexplicable poetic ring to it that reverberates in the mind and soul.

                    • L. B. Mek

                      ah kind friend
                      how to repay all these moments you invest
                      in my humble scribbles
                      always unearthing my personal favourites
                      I am so thankful..
                      (and yes, those who have sipped
                      from true love's pulsing nectar
                      will be drawn to those dreamy verses)
                      we are lucky, to be counted in that number
