Love Displayed

An attempt to describe the love of a couple who came together in uncertain circumstances as friends only to discover the purest love together.

Within these windows ~ cometh our souls,

Entering forth one ~ to another,

Softer than a touch ~ of lip’s exquisite fold

Heavens body above ~ a stardust’s hover 

Romance on a stage; in songs of love and rage,

Turning presently a thin and delicate page

Discovering a deeper more splendid, and sacred space

Of trusting integrity ~ honesty and spectacular grace 

For these gifts of life anointed, as the entire world of god’s appointed

This smallest of miracles ~ purest in form

 As we adore, lust and mourn;

A most unexpected pair ~ from friendships thought-filled lair

And to this our love still grows… connecting strings of living clay,

Yet, I ask you to pause here my love, for this is not nearly the end,

This path divides; continues to flow and bend,

And what I must say is beyond this place,

Revealed in mystery ~ a lover’s true face

This love I must explain; no words, nor emotions remain

Neither past, nor future can claim

For grasping a cloud, or reaching your hand for a star,

 To touch the sun or dance with the moon

Is far more possible and would only happen to soon,

To say "this is our love today"

Our Love, I dare say ~ Powerful and Strong

Stands alone

We can only enter separately

You ~ Me

Family

Realized guests in a full array,

Participating joyfully in a peace-filled way

Wondrous awe inspired experiences and splendor

Light born in dark, no time, no space,

Only Love ~ Displayed.

Hi Todd. You have made magic here! The tune is as haunting as the words and the whole melds together at a truly sublime level. I read, read as I listened, then went back to read for a third time. There is an almost mystic theme to the poem, enhanced by the music, sure, but still there without the accompaniment. Love this, and it tells me the depth of your love for your wife. thank you for sharing this with me, alf

Alf thank you very much for your kind and meaningful review, I am honored. I am proud of this piece, and yet feel the need to strive more towards the love I feel; the love I wish to always express to my wife, and the love I genuinely feel for life itself; art is my avenue and I hope to continue to develop and grow in my expression and craft.

~peace, Todd

For those who truly aspire, a time will be made for them in the universe. I wish you good luck, my friend, though I believe luck has little to do with your future success!

This is a beautiful poem my friend. Mom is the most important woman in our life and there is no stronger bond than that of a mother and child. Good work!

[modtoddinc]

Appreciate it. In truth I hope more comes through than only the love of a mother for her child... but beauty and meaning is in the eye of the beholder... Thank you for visiting and reviewing.

~peace, Todd
