Somewhere out there
Lies thy elsewhere
For thy beauty to glare
Thy miracles to share
Nowhere else but there
A universe lays bare
For you to ensnare
Seek for thy gem to flare
Somewhere in between
A love for you to preen
Splendor for a life unseen
Save for eyes ever green
Hearts from hate to wean
Majesties for you to glean
Completing the soul’s cuisine
Crave no more, precious queen

Some outstanding rhyming in this exciting verse - - I love the final stanza with its "soul's cuisine". A great read Seek.
Thank you Fay. Very nice of you to read and comment.
Awesome rhyming, great choice of words. I do like it, Seek!
I am flattered FredP. Thank you.
Way to go seek cool poem 😎
Thanks for commenting.
Way over my head is this. I'm still at jack and jill went up the hill level.
Your modesty is remarkable. After reading "Kat and Santita" and "Tower", I am much closer to the J&J level, I must admit. You write some really marvelous stuff. Had to slow down and reread to get a fuller understanding of your very accomplished work. I say that with all sincerity. I am honored by your visit.
In all sincerity i feel the other way sir. You use of metaphor is something beyond me. Same applies to many poets on here, i am no student of literature just a lay poet. I admire the use of metaphor but it goes way over my head. We are two differing styles i guess. Thank you for your kind compliment sir.
