After Death Knocks

inspired by a special man

 

 

 

Beyond brazen sun

Dwells violet moon

Dreams occur in crystal ball

As omniscience reveals sight

I taste your pain

Longing to escape reality,

You become preoccupation

Kissing lips soft and sincere,

For you I unfold

I will die with you

 Beside you

Arms surround you

We shall become dust together

Miles separate

Yet you're inside my mind

Could my touch heal wounds

Of inescapable destructive forces?

Submission of body and soul

Left without choice

Your desires are mine

We build a bridge to Transcendence

Feel the heartbeat of my spirit

Contour of bodies intertwine

Love conquers all

Through sickness and health

Loyalty abides

Wherever destiny finds us

Remember...

My Love for you is timeless

And more powerful...

Than death.

The end of this poem was very powerful. Your words create a maze of thought and emotion and this poem is a unique quality. I can't say that I believe the words of this to be true for anyone but I believe that the hope that it is and the possibility is what is necessary to human life. Everyone wishes to be loved to such an extent when it is no longer conditional but unconditional and timeless. Though it happens rarely and perhaps never at all it is the hope and the wonder of that keeps our faith in love and life. Nice work.

Your poems always transport me to another plane, if only briefly, and challenge me to think and reflect...an escape for my senses...your words and tales become preoccupation. As always, I enjoy and appreciate your attention to detail, your precise selection and application of words, your visual presentation, your capacity to evoke feeling. This is a wonderful piece, Apollonia...thank you for sharing it with me.

very beautiful piece Apollonia. I really like how you brought it to life. Sometimes we do take things for granted, I mean most of the times. I like your wakeup call.

[Nicholas Hallows]

Powerful and passionate tale of immortal love.
It's a nice idea to believe love for a person can transcend death.
Perhaps through the consequences of our actions while we're alive our love can live on after us.
Thanks for sending this my way.

I like these three lines best............

Feel the heartbeat of my spirit

Contour of bodies intertwine

Love conquers all

..............................the poem is passionate and the feeling behind it is evident and strong.

Oh, I loved it! Now this is a very good piece, like your others too, but I can tell you spoke through words with all your heart and soul (as you do always). It flowed, and written in a simple poetic form, a piece about love that is so strong it transcends death. And I truly believe that people on this earth can be together forever. More to it, of course, but that's just my belief.

This poem transcends the ordinary and becomes something extraordinary. Thanks for sharing.
