Ethereal Love

Written 4-10-21

Wrapped in an ethereal curtain
Shimmering with an astral glow
City lights extinguished far away
Leaving untouched natural beauty
Drifting within the cosmic gateway

A lone figure waiting silently
Stars illuminating his outline
Mystical sight to clearly behold
Surrounded by desert’s midnight
Chasing away the dry arid cold

An otherworldly sight to embrace
Patiently waiting with open arms
Silently calling out my name
As the Universe pulls it’s tight strings
This rhythmic beating heart you claim

Shadowed rock formation stand tall
Stoic guardians of the moment
Adding a violet mystical feel
Celestial orbs streaking freely
Eternally this love is real

This certainly a dream-like vision... The images of stars, of other dimensions, of communication through the ether are strong and powerful. The poem creates a sense of connecting with eternity... and when someone comes into our thoughts in a dream... it happens. Like much of your poetry, tightly constructed and woven through with half-rhymes and subtle rhythms.

Dreams of real person and location

Do you know, i was a bit unsure of wether this was about a real actual live persin type thing, or maybe perhaps because i am feeling more positive about life after being a bit unwell, but it could kinda read, if you squint at the right angle be about more thsn that, like being in awe and love and wonder about the magic that is being and knowing within our place of that universe.
I think ill opt for it being a human type person thing though, considering what day it is today... Yeah thats right, its almost easter and that lovely chocolate egg day! 😊

vivid images and very ethereal to me; just flows like a calm river; your potential lover waiting for you some where in the cosmos...astral glows illuminate the sky and sensuality pops right at you; mystical sights of mountains and desert somewhere in the universe....lovely and soft, i can the scene in my mind's eye...
Warmly, B

Have returned here for a second read PB. This is a most beautiful write, with a dreamy mystical quality. Coming before me in hues of violet speaking to me of eternal love. Now that is something well worth aiming for.

When I reread this one I can close my eyes and picture exactly what I was picturing when I wrote this one.

[Chris Shaw]

It painted a wonderful soft canvas for me. So it must have been pleasing for you to see it all before you for a second time. Poetry can do that, has such special qualities to make you travel in time and space.

[Poetic Beauty]

Anytime I write about, my Beasty aka Jesse, it is like that. We are forever connected.

[Chris Shaw]

That must be a comfort to you. A strong bond of connection separating time and distance.

[Poetic Beauty]

It is a blessing and a curse for he is in Arizona and I’m in Illinois. We’ve been separated by 1200 miles give or take a few for 13 years. I need to get down there and hopefully by October

[Chris Shaw]

Something lovely for you to look forward too. Time for me to start my day. Probably time for you to sleep :)

[Poetic Beauty]

I am definitely hoping and who knows maybe I won’t come back 😉

[Chris Shaw]

Now that would be a life changer :))

[Poetic Beauty]

It would but he’s had my heart since the day I met him. lots of history there with us

[Chris Shaw]

Better being with him then, rather than separated by the miles. You must be wishing the time away till October :)

[Poetic Beauty]

It’s more about saving the funds to go down. Like me he lives at home. Him because he has a young daughter and his parent watch her while he works long days. He’s pretty much a single dad.

You know money does have a habit of putting a dampener sometimes on our plans. I am thinking of that saying. All good things come to those who wait :) Don:t forget that one or act in haste repent at leisure.

I love your way of packing a poem with a ton of sparkling sensory observations that pop! This sounds like it's been written about a human companion, but also it could be any imaginary connection we may long for . . . a missing angel, or God, or self-love (which most are lacking some) Fondly, Margie

[Poetic Beauty]

It is about someone special. But I did write it with little to of imagery so it has a ethereal feel to it.

[Unspoken poet]

This is such a wonderful and beautiful write

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you. I write a lot of poems from my dreams.

[Unspoken poet]

my dreams would run people off, mine are very life like scary

[Poetic Beauty]

Mine can be but fortunately most of mine are sensual and loving

[Neville]

........................... Dont you just love an astral glow .. a delightful poem my friend .. write on :)

[Poetic Beauty]

Astral glow is amazing...
I’m glad you enjoyed this poem. I write a lot of sappy poetry these days but it’s what my inner muse screams at the top of her lungs lol

[Fanicia E.]

Such a beautiful piece. I look forward to reading more of your work.

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you for the kind words

[Re-Pete]

out of this world. so beautiful. mesmerizing as love is. i sense the longing of that separation between the lines. we wait patiently, our hearts skipping beats until wrapped together again in those arms ... :)

[Poetic Beauty]

You have definitely got the feeling right in this poem
