sans chimera

Forever painstakingly hoped,

forever waited for words to pour,

forever finally inclined to lend itself.

Clung surely to anchored faith;

forever vow advertised whispers upon evening.

Forever never reticence

as the blessing of such smile escaped

into threads manifesting

our saga.

Once surreal unreachable apparition,

waxed existential,

sans surreal,

sans illusion,

sans chimera...

love therefore withstanding.

Reviews

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

I've always wondered....if we throw open the door and release love with our whole being does it frighten us more or the being on the other side ....

[Claire in VA]

love therefore withstanding
Those are powerful words.

[Vidya Bacchus]

As always your mastery leaves me in awe X.This is lovely :)

[BlackRose]

Great sounding word. Worded so well, practically amazing. A superb write as always.

[Lyn Anderson]

Chimera is one of my favourite words. A wonderful write as always, with great images and masterful wordage.

[Rita L. Sev]

I hear echoes of the biblical "love never fails"; this is an equally inspiring verse, Xavier. How we search, and find, and hold on to love - and only know its true depth at the end of forever... Wonderful piece!

Powerful words and images from start to finish...you're definitely on my shortlist of favourite poets on the site...I'm kind of speechless trying to convey my emotions when it comes to specific lines...you say so much in a relatively small piece...great work as always x :)

I was always taught that good things come to those that wait...forever fits into that category, doesn't it? :) Your words are always ardent...AMAZING as always.
