Lover's Quest

It is a magic what a lover can do.

I'll bring you a poem on sleepless nights,
one you'd giggle at masking the blush on your face
and would ease, eventually
like I had seen your fist uncurl in your sleep,
a flower bud too defensive of her tendrils,
now, would you believe me
when I say you're the most nascent?
You remind me of every divine possession
of delicate kind as such
my knees bend with honour, or affection likely,
turning my hands as gentle as you need it to be.

To accompany you in your sleep, the dreams
I shall sow sprouts of them in your heart
to yield smiles of hope at every waking dawn,
to keep your steps moving forward
for I know I may not be there always
I'm often too ugly in my scars, like moon
I hide once those nights I show up for you,
but I've found you look for me
in my absence the most,
we are broken together, at our worst when parted,
with only our stars to console us.

I'm demon on days I fail to be the angel
I promise myself to be,
I collapse as my tattered wings
their root, my spine tired to keep me standing,
one hopeless mess of every sinking dream
in depths of past filled with failures,
I await songs, some stolen wishes,
a drawn breath, the becoming of a long sigh,
I wake with your hums beside me,
a brush of your warm flesh
over where my heart is, behind heavy lungs,
you're music untamed of any note
evading my laboured breaths
as petals of spring born flowers,
ripe with sweetness of their scents,
the tips of your finger smoothing bumps
of my rippled skin meet like fireflies
through my darkened core,
and no butterflies were heard
in my stomach anymore,
no louder than these flickers
drawing my wholly to you.

Author's Note

Being there for each other, a simple implication. Grateful for giving it time!

We are all broken in some form or another and being able to find a person that understands or is willing to accept that the brokenness is there is an amazing feat indeed.

I whole heartedly loved each line penned in this poem from start to finish and it conveys the unconditional love that is ever present. Well done

[Poetic_Vixen]

I like to know that my words evoked deep thinking. Grateful for reading and taking time.

Vixen,
These kinds of love, the ones that require description are at the same time the most intimate and the most in need of telling. This could be that guy who always looks clean and cool skinned and wears loose white cotton for Santorini nights, or it could be the new-born child whose very existence is too amazing to even contemplate... Either way, it works...
You remind me of a friend who was a student and now is a presence on Instagram... Her name is Michelle Awad, her handle is "The Constant Poet." Check her out... You could be friends.

I'm too much about all those extraordinary details that would be too tempting to be skipped away. So grateful to for dropping by and taking time to read it!
I'm assuming it is her Instagram profile?

[Vol]

Vixen,
yes... She was writing at a very young age; I took her o a school competition when she was only 15 and she won... She's been a friend since before she was a studen.

I'd truly be glad to meet her! It makes me happy and feel honoured that I reminded you of someone talented like that.

The butterflies landed, and departed in quick, metered decent.
Demons and angels wrapped in wholly unwholesome flickers.
I am not sure this poem would put me to sleep so much imply the simple sickening sweet tell of gloom.
Yet with the morning sun peeking through the blinds...

""I'm often too ugly in my scars, like moon
I hide once those nights I show up for you,
but I've found you look for me
in my absence the most,""

[Poetic_Vixen]

I'm glad to be assured by your review that it has an effect on you, one that it was written with, hence I'm grateful for this review. Have a lovely day!

great writting very moving sweet and spiritual

[Poetic_Vixen]

I'm glad to hear that

[JessyJacob]

Hi hope you are doing good.

There was nice flow of lines one after the other exceeding its emotional feelings that flew through like river. I really liked all the lines how you expressed and i think thoughts were flowing Very painful feelings that are real and touching. I can see how much you feel and miss. This is one of your best poem.

Thank you for sharing.

When real feelings emerge you dont need mind to think how to write or express but just heart to let it feel and think and how much you feel and need and want to express all feelings which errupt as you miss the love.

With love
Jessy Jacob.

[Poetic_Vixen]

Appreciate it.

Two flawed souls but when togther the physical and emotional desire intense so much more enduring each connect, their two hearts beat, imperfections gradually wither like grapes on the vine, the juice of love tastes ever so sweetly refreshing..

A beautifully penned, romantic, prose poem that conveys the sumptious, intoxicating delights of true love between this couple!!

[Poetic_Vixen]

I appreciate you to acknowledge my poem with this meaning and poetry in your words, very grateful to receive this review from you my friend! Wishing you warmth.

I love this wondrous poem, dear P. V. There is nothing can be compared to dreaming our dreams with someone so special! Each human being is an Angel with a little demon on their shoulder whispering to them and I love how you say this so eloquently in the poem:
"I'm demon on days I fail to be the angel". I think some days we listen to the little devil on our shoulder, but that does not make us a demon, but perhaps a misguided Angel? It is so true that we never miss the water until the well runs dry and once more you have very poetically expressed that in the following lines:
"but I've found you look for me
in my absence the most,
we are broken together, at our worst when parted,
with only our stars to console us".
When two people love each other so deeply, they are truly broken when they are apart and alone with only the stars for company and the "I miss you!" is so painful for both. Differences can be sorted out and over come together. It is our differences which draw us together like magnets.
A very evocative and emotive poem, dear P. V. Sublimely penned, feelings finely expressed too. SO happy I have found a poem I haven't commented on, my dear friend! Will be back later in search of another. Wishing you a very happy, blessed and pleasant day to enjoy, dear P. V... and thank you for sharing your wonderful poetry. I so enjoyed reading...

[Poetic_Vixen]

I wish you a beautiful weekend ahead, may you enjoy yourselves a lot with peace and joy with your loved ones! Wishing you warmth dear Marie ❤️

[Marie]
