Reciprocity

Reciprocity

A Poem by Linda Marie Van Tassell
"

The language of love is written on air.

"
A faithful whisper from the heart that hides
falls between the cresting of ocean tides.
On wings of prayer, a mystical birth,
sunlight flashes a smile across the earth.

The moss-green meadow with her daffodils
runs into the distance across the hills;
and her perfume lingers, fragrant and sweet.
I nestle in her cloud-pavilioned seat.

In a sky-swirled skirt of lace filigree,
with sparkles of copper-green verdigris,
I dream of the future - lovely, divine.
A balmy breeze kisses the crescent vine.

O! Maker of earth and heavenly spheres,
whose Love is mightier than mortal fears!
Bring the ecstasy, the hope, and the bliss,
bouquets that blossom in every kiss.

The language of love is written on air.
It sings in the sunshine and starry square.
A verdurous vision, as yet unseen,
love sways in the branches in groves of green.

Love is the deep kiss that kisses our hearts.
It may be shattered, but it never parts.
For, love is eternal, ever abides,
a faithful whisper from the heart that hides.

The writer has made a beautiful description of the resonance between love and nature.

But in verse four, she expresses the ways in which love triumphs, by being "mightier than mortal fears!" It also brings "ecstasy", "hope" and "bliss".

The wording and imagery are brilliant.

In the last verse, the great passion and ongoing power of love is suggested. Indeed, as the writer expresses it, "love is eternal".

oh dear linda .i like your work
you speak much of love heavenly love
come and flourish on mother earth
the world has gone so cruel and heartless
we need much of you,we need lots of you
yes i wonder if lie down and wake one day
and find smiles and love and harmony all around
how nice it would be to live then ,life would be so alive
we are dead walking ..now,we need warm,th ,much love in our lives

O! Maker of earth and heavenly spheres,
whose Love is mightier than mortal fears!
Bring the ecstasy, the hope, and the bliss,
bouquets that blossom in every kiss.

The language of love is written on air.
It sings in the sunshine and starry square.
A verdurous vision, as yet unseen,
love sways in the branches in groves of green.

Love is the deep kiss that kisses our hearts.
It may be shattered, but it never parts.
For, love is eternal, ever abides,
a faithful whisper from the heart that hides.

Poetry has been my passion since I was about fifteen years old, and I love the structure of rhyme and meter moreso than just randomly throwing words upon a page without any form whatsoever. Whi.. more..
