Midnight Sonata

Whispering kisses, sparkling tears,

The radiance of your eyes,

Keys on the floor, where we met before,

The bliss of beautiful lies,

 

The fragrance flows

Form a sullen rose,

And whom does it dignify,

The breeze, it shall show,

Smile at the things you know

And none will it deny,

 

There was an ocean of noise

That we couldn’t hear the voice

Of nostalgia

Bringing us together,

 

Perfection was relative term

Or there was no term at all

To speak of the dreams

We desired together,

 

The midnight sonata of your peace,

Whence I lived to see the Sun,

Innocent touch and silent craving

Let us surf in a cloud of reveries,

 

In words we lived, in words we died,

In words we caressed, in words we cried,

In ink we’d swim, in pages breathe,

When the world slept, we’d rise from beneath,

 

For lost causes and love our lives entwined,

As life unfurls, we seem to have outgrown,

The broken hourglass rhymed in time,

 

The bridges we have created, the seeds we have sown,

My love,

Are we in love with the unknown?

[Adelia Alighieri]

some of the words were used very finely, pretty much the entire poem stands out on its own. How magical are these lines:

The midnight sonata of your peace,
Whence I lived to see the Sun,
Innocent touch and silent craving
Let us surf in a cloud of reveries.

Well done.

[Coyote Poetry]

A beautiful and positive poem of love. I like the desire and the emotion of the beautiful written poem. I had to read a few times. Such hope and desire for love in the outstanding poem.

Beuatiful and touching and sad all at the same time. I like how it touched me the most. Splendid write.
