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 admiration for you
will bring me to my tragic death
and my dead torso will fall
onto the very cobbles
in which you were born
igniting
this, the great fire I have from within.

So very kind dear Andy, thank you. 🌹
A beautiful tribute to not only a city but in metaphor a person.. This write filled with near rhymes, irregular stanzas that fit so well still carrying the flow and meter are a triumph in and of themselves, but more than this is the poetic form of the piece itself that has a feel so enchanting and well written that it takes me to the location itself. Charming and very professionally written.
I am always overwhelmed with joy to see you dear sorrenbarret your exquisite eye can see that although I am capable of rhyming, I also like to be different by mixing it up with free verse, thank you from the bottom of my heart Sir. Florence is where I live and it's never difficult to find such inspiration from the streets that Dante himself once walked. 🌹
some of my favourite poetry came out of Italy in the fifteenth century .. and one of my old travelling companions came out in La Spezia in 19 .. something I can't writely remember but I do know that Florence is my favourite city in the whole of the world and boy have I travelled .. Oh' and what a smashing poem you have produced and posted this very day .. Neville 🌹
Awe Nev, it's certainly a beautiful City isn't it. Much like my beloved London different type of beauty. Thank you dear friend. 🌹
A passionate write dear Teddy. Rich with description and metaphor. I haven’t visited Florence but I have been invited. We have friends living there, so it is on my bucket list. Such an inspiring write and your posted image of Florence, so appealing. Wonderful read. Have a happy weekend.
Dear Cassie58 Thank you for your very kind words, if you ever come to Florence send me a message and we could meet up, it's a city that is unimaginable until you habe seen it for yourself. 🌹
You just reminded me of my trip to Florence some years ago (thanks for that), very inspiring poem!
Ah, what a magical city , I hope the weather was kind. Thank you so much it's very kind of you to come by and say. 🌹
The sweetness of your words soothes the soul, and creates beautiful images in the mind. The second stanza begs to be read again, and again. A true work of art, dedicated to the capital of arts.
