Always in Our Sanctuary

They meet in between.

Sometimes, he’s an electric blue-eyed eagle with a searing stare and a laid-back stance

A gentle and gracious flamingo would shed feathers and change in a glance

Rising from the ground, a savage, flaring phoenix appears

They ascend and swirl the sky, embodying the gods’ greatest fears

 

More often than not, he’s the gallant, vigorous archer

Running from the humid forest while stretching his course, oak wood bow to tigers with eagerness

Until he hears the murmuring waves, he slows down and goes to the sea

He rests with the fish, embracing her cool tranquility

 

Rarely, she’s the radiant bumblebee, fluttering in the fragrant yard

Even on a rainy day, she spreads grains of joy with regard

Seeing the pale, withering wildflower, she showers him with fulfillment

They stay awake as the warm daylight comes, surrounded in the sweet-scented element

 

He’s the diver, who went to the depths of the clear, salty ocean

The most lustrous and elegant pearl was obtained because of devotion

He’s satisfied so he keeps her and caresses her fair face,

Reminds her that she’ll be safe here with him always

Your opening stanza is mind-blowing in originality & freshness . . . I love character portraits drawn in words, & this is the crux of how that can be done with high imagination. Also, I love it when a writer describes a loving relationship from a million fresh new angles (I'm sick of typical romantic sentiments). Your way of expressing yourself is uninhibited & a little abstract, but easy to follow & understand (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I really like the words you used in this poem! There are many words that aren't commonly used to describe, and I like how some of them rhyme at the end. It was obvious that you put a lot of thought into this! Keep it up :)

It is a well-structured poem. It is the best example of a Creative Writing work.
