Falling Into an Eternity of Endless Love With You. A free-style Sonnet

Not being able to gaze at Thy sweet face,

My Heart suffocates in the chill of winter’s mists.

Now words are left unspoken, hidden in the tablet of my soul.

This unforgotten agony, like thorns,

Have clung unto my blossoming flower for

Eons, tearing up the redolence of sweet memories.

I do not wish to leave the trace that says:

“He retreated.” Nor to miss that special moment,

Holding hands; walking through the ancient

Corridors, in the Temple of the sun.

Seasons fade, but sooner or later, the rose

Will blossom anew. I long for Your flawless mirror,

Keeping me falling; keeping me falling … falling,

Into an eternity of endless Love, with You.

The Rapturous Ecstasy of Thy Love. A free-verse Sonnet

The Rapturous Ecstasy of Thy Love

You kiss the sweetness of my longing,

And even in the uncomely hours of this night,

You shine excels the resplendence of shooting stars.

The breath of Thy lips whispers to my cheeks,

As the Heart glows in Silence.

One glance at Your hazel-blue gaze,

And my core flutters like a butterfly in flight.

I remember Your previous wooing, but I was young

And impetuous, unable then to appreciate Thy elegance;

The naked intimacy and grandeur of Thy allure.

I knew naught of the beauty of sunset; how to savour the rapturous

Ecstasy of Thy Love. Today I have blossomed fully, like a flower,

Unfurling its petals in the Heart of Spring; I smile in agony, striving

To withstand Love’s million bow-strings, delivering sugar to my Soul.

Manatita, The Lantern Carrier. 29^th September, 2019

Wisdom from the Masters

"I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty;

I laugh when I hear, that people go on pilgrimage to find God." -Kabir

"When you really look for Me, you will see me instantly -

You will find Me in the tiniest house of time. Kabir says:

"Student, tell me. What is God? He is the breath inside the breath." -Kabir

Peggy

I told a fiend recently, that she is a dark horse. I was talking about her exquisite poetry.

Now I will say that you are a dark horse and i'm talking about the spirituality I feel from you.

So many of us are holding on to books and Masters, forgetting the Interior Castle. Thank you for such a fine sentiment. God bless you and family.

Peggy Woods from Houston, Texas on February 17, 2020:

That first image and the message portrayed is still a work in progress. Too many people in this world seek power, and love seemingly is a lower priority. If love took the first place the world could have peace. What a wonderful world that would be! Thanks for always sharing your message of love.

You show yourself to be a discerning poet, one who appreciates love and beauty. My gratitude for an exquisitely beautiful sentiment, Trooly.

p.s. I will dedicate two sublime pieces to you soon as a token of my gratitude.

Yes, Manatita the poems are all based on understanding love. Love is the single most strongest vibrational force on this mighty earth. Without it nothing can be conquered nor can victory be earned.
