The Elegant Universe

Written for Emma's contest. :) What a beautiful image to be inspired by. I do hope you enjoy!

 

The Elegant Universe

 

If I could but give up my view

 to tell you,

thus that I behold...

 

I gazed upon a firefly masquerade,

a vivid tableau of swirling grace.

And with a penetrating thirst for life,

the swelling of nebulous wisps flickered,

in cadence with the affinity of your shimmering eyes,

silently bending to the music of endless time.

 

And I…
beneath the starry firmament,

collide,

in sight,

with duality streaming,

stirring in distant,
far-off light,

with serpentine beams ~in twilight~ complete---

to linger,

fiercely,

through intrinsic dreams.

And if I could trace constellations,

anew,

what wonders would be on the surface of you?

 

So…

How could I blink where utopia lies,

romancing me

with the sway of the night?

When fool’s dissuasion
fades like deep wine,

no longer does gravity rule this sweep.

If only the scent

were lent one last time,

and you could peer through the portal,

sublime...

 

Then I would do nothing but softly sigh

where in your eyes...

eternity shines.

Your thoughts of life and love are permeated with the unlimited cosmos; stellar light, planetary musings and boundless reaches are all touched upon.

Very nice work...

Beautifully written Amber. You paint such sweet pictures with your words. I still have yet to find another who uses words so perfectly as you do. Another nice work my friend.

The one moment of clarity and universe paused amidst the change we all inevitably go through. Eternity in the blink of an eye to be seen from your point of view.
A rather pleasant thought for this time of year :)

What vivid images that lay a soft shimmer of hope that love is all around us if we just look... you really mesmerize me with such powerfully hypnotic thoughts put into graceful wording. To sum it up AMAZING!!
