YET

Free Verse

I may weigh a ton
yet afloat, as a feather around you
i drift, till I settle in your heart

i dream of things unreal
yet never letting go of our reality
a beauty, no dreams can inspire

I soar and dazzle many eyes
a colourful kite in the skies
yet I fly with my strings in your hands

Yes, life is bursting with colours
yet I love our grays, our rainy days
blending us in perfect monochrome

I love the light in you
yet I long for the darkness too
so you can glow in my thoughts always

i know we can dwell in the stars
yet find our bliss right here on earth
our heaven surrounds us where we fall

What to say about this one, Monsieur P? It just goes to show that when you are not calling out all the fakery and BS on this site, you can sure write an eloquent poem! Your 'Yet' is a wonderful piece of romantic writing, lovingly describing the union of two souls in both heart and mind. All the weight of the world and even heaven itself is not enough to keep these two from celebrating the love they share. It is the kind of relationship that we all aspire to be a part of. The simplicity of your words is in direct contrast to the complexity of the emotions described and that takes this poem on a journey to a higher plane of poesy. Its an awesome declaration of love and so well conveyed on the page. Fabulous and much enjoyed! And not a collab in sight! :)))

😎 Well well Madame...careful or all thie praise could go to my head and I am quite a Pest already! Thanks a ton already.
Love is an emotion I dabble with often and I must say it's one of the most puzzling, perplexing and demanding subjects to write on. The good thing is that there are an infinite ways of expressing it.
I am glad you appreciated this one 😊 and appreciation is always a great motivator so I'll think about staying on and posting on. Thanks again!
Stay safe and keep writing too 😊👍

A wonderful poem shared my friend.
"I love the light in you
yet I long for the darkness too
so you can glow in my thoughts always"

Gloriously romantic words in this one. When you can embrace the good times and the difficult times, you know it is going to last. Wonderful work. Lydi**

There is so much one can say in love. Fine expression and writing style. I love free verse.

I can totally hold an image of your poem in my mind, it's beyond all the dwindling, tilting love tales and raising the authentic thoughts in my core. Light and Yet are now situated among the most favourite poems of mine. I don't know if you think this review is over optimistic or not but I will say what I felt! From the very first line, no words are confusing rather are in the mainstream still how magnificently they're put together! That's what my teacher had said, keep it simple cause a tangled piece is wanted by none.
The third stanza is full of sweet smiles! Only a true lover can be so resistant to other flirty wannabes. Glorious love poems are alive in the minds like you, hence we're grateful! If one reads your poems keeping all the scrap aside, the air about you will be clear.
You're safe right? I know😅

Wow Tahsin! I am blushing and smiling away there! It feels fantastic to be appreciated so much. If you can brush away the scrap and dirt and see the human underneath, it's a victory I will cherish and try to live up to with more poetry that you may like. It will certainly be an incentive for me to stay around when I I your appreciation. Thank you, tons and tons my dearest friend and keep honing your art too. You have brilliance lurking in you. You're a right gem. Pestonjee swears by you! ❤💐

"I fly with my strings in your hands"
love that line...quite the romantic write here, the imagery takes flight...
something needed these days...an nice diversion from what has taken over our lives in recent months.
The black and white of it is, we may still feel the colors, even when we don't see them.

The great thing about this emotion is that it seems acceptable to us in every hue or even no hues at all! Thank you sir, for appreciating this effort.

Aha!So you can write on stuff other than fakery and bs! And quite seriously too. I like this attempt of yours. I only hope you mean what you write so zealously. For now, I'll give you the credit. Meow. :)
