Love Birds

Love Birds                     by Sami Khalil

 

Dismal are the days of wither and wilt

When you bloom like a blazing petalled rose

A true eye candy sweet, a sun-kissed guilt

Undressing love, breathing life in lore’s throes.

 

As I bare my soul, contrast to known fear

While you sit silent by, holding your breath

We feel the quiet burden lifted near

Hanging over bleary eyes and fire’s death.

 

We are two birds flying in painted skies

Set to flight through night dreams and reveries

Where we abide in Nature’s finest drives

Fiddling with things, beholding memories.

 

Darling! I cherish that whispered answer

Both joy and pain and the pouring laughter.

This is what I call a ripe piece of poetry, full flavoured, full of the best of what's offered, especially in your penultimate stanza. Seems you have it all, Sami for real or in the planning of.. ..

Set to flight through night dreams and reveries'

"Love Birds" revolves around the complex emotions associated with love, including joy, longing, vulnerability, and the interplay between pain and happiness.

A very beautiful romantic poem. Language is very rich and imagery beautiful.
The use of nature (roses, birds, skies) creates a rich tapestry that enhances the emotional landscape.

Phrases like "quiet burden" and "fiddling with things" create a musical quality.

"Sun-kissed guilt" juxtaposes contrasting emotions, reflecting the complexity of love. (oxymoron)

You seek to capture the essence of love's duality, making it relatable and poignant for us readers.

THANK U FOR SHARING.

joy, pain and pouring laughter, all a part of true love that is deep enough to make
hearts fly steadily...in the azure sky of union.
