Where, if not my love tangled
would I be?
standing upon my very own inferno
in misery
how could I forsake love
that is burning in flames
should I put it in a jar suffocating it with closure?
the air frozen in an untimely death?
my ever aching wish to
spread my fire onto you
leaves my soul and my heart
in a world without sense
there will never be a place
I could cherish more
in life or death
than to be in your arms
therefore, I could only be truly satisfied
in paradise or inferno
as long as I am with you.

A really powerful poem, Teddy. Love the last lines.
Thank you dear Tom if you have ever read Dante's work both Inferno and paradiso are truly inspiring. 🌹
So inspiring to read dear Teddy. 😊👍
So very kind a bit of romanticism never hurts just before the big day, thank you dear A.P 🌹
aah yes, THE BIG DAY. ❤️ I' embarrassed to say I don't have a poem ready for tomorrow, but I'll have to see what I can do about that. Here's to an early Happy Valentine's Day to you my dearest of poetic hearts. ❤️🌹
Looking forward to it my dear A.P. you have a wonderful romantic muse. 🌹 🌹 ❤️
Yes, she's always served me well. 👍🌹
Here the image of flames spreads from love to hell and even heaven where the image of burning in eternal glory comes to mind. This thread that unites this piece is like a wick in a candle conducting the reader from beginning to end. Brilliant !
Wow such kind words dear sorenbarret, I just love Dante's passion on the pages and I'm so very proud to say I can read in both English and Italian. Thank you so much for this absolutely gorgeous review. 🌹
I feel I should know Dante's work (which I don't) in order to fully appreciate the depth of your? passion here, Teddy. but in the meantime.....ooh aha.......
Dave another gorgeous thing to say from you. If you ever wants some links I'd happily send them via pm anytime. Thank you 😊
Please send the links, Teddy - it would be kindness itself.
Having read both his best known works albeit a long time ago now ..
I can see why and where and how you contracted such an infatuation .. remarkably well penned my friend ..🌹
Thank you dear Nev, so very kind. 🌹 You have been to my beloved Tuscany he is spread far a wide. I always say this but it's never hard to find the inspiration around here , the cobbled streets of Florence are haunted by him in the most pleasant of ways. 🌹
That is what love does. Brilliant, Teddy.
Thank you dear Thomas. 🌹
Wonderful words Teddy, those last three lines mean so much to me and my life at the moment.
Andy
