My Path to Paradise Begins in Hell

Teddy.15

 

You’re the king of my universe
your poetry ignites my gentle heart
where the river was born to a peaceful flow
we stand together as one sweet soul

In this the tempestuous ocean of life
our paths have never crossed
there is no greater sorrow
than knowing our hands will never touch
but you are deep within me

from my love of poetry
you’ve led me to your great wisdom


“Love which absolves no one is beloved from loving”

you’ve captured me with your charm

my love for you will bring me to my tragic death

and in eternity of hell…

we shall finally ignite this great love affair

and yes, burn we shall.

      The first line got me in my feelings! "You’re the king of my universe
      your poetry ignites my gentle heart
      where the river was born to a peaceful flow we stand together as one sweet soul" 🥺 "There is no greater sorrow
      than knowing our hands will never touch but you are deep within me"- ah but there's always poetry, right? And you never know, maybe you'll get to burn before it all goes to hell!!! I guess I'm a hopeless romantic! Very beautiful!!

        Dearest Liz thank you and yes I'm afraid he died in 1321 so you certainly are a hopeless romantic in this case, never the less Dante's poetry makes my heart burn for sure. Thank you dear poetess. 💖

          Ah! It had to be Dante! My brother and I have a profound love for his work. It's always our number one topic. Even in death, love is felt! 🙂

            Pity he is gone
            I'm sure he would love your writing just as much
            Take 2nd best if he's not a corpse also
            You know dante would want you to
            A great talent

            • Teddy.15

              Awe dear Peto, I am actually married to my very own beautiful Italian, who has a heart just like Dante, thank you so much for your very kind words 💖

                Beatrice has some serious competition!
                lol
                beautifully realised and rendered from art to last syllable
                that we're passionate about
                makes it so easy for us to write
                I find
                a lovely dedication dear Poetess
                (hope you have a lovely weekend)

                • Teddy.15

                  Oh yes Beatrice is one of my muse you know! I adore their love that was never meant to be. Happy weekend my dear poet. Thank you ❤️
