Return To Me

Those two souls who lived
even longer than some stars
will meet time and time again.
Each would beg the archangel
who guards the gates
for the other’s arcane hearthstone.

A little higher than mortals
in this lifetime of neoteric barbarians
they would possess the regency
that outshines princes,
and the dazzle that their last deaths
only intensified.

I know the signs to this
most awaited rarefied collision,
the ones I were oblivious of
only when your arrival
wasn’t yet revealed:
the upheavals in my chest
akin to impending sunblasts,
the phrensy in my brain
like meteors swarming
a newborn cosmos.

I reclaim you from
the long slumber of your memory,
my love…
walking past the boundaries of
time and space
I shall remind you of
what used to be,
what used to be…

Penelope

yummy! Okay, maybe that isn't all that profound but this poem is wonderful. I love the dreamy quality you are so expert in conveying.

Interesting theme. Had me thinking of old Adam and Eve two starcrossed soul mates who both hold the memory of a perfect time.

What use to be can maybe one day again be. A soulfull peice. Nice Work.


warm regards,
bob

Penelope, Bob and Renae!

Oh, from time to time I could pop in, and you three are all wonderful giving me warm hugs through your comments. That's why I love you all.

i enjoyed the poetry of this free-verse piece. there was some good imagery and you have a feel for language. the first two verses, especially are well written, and contain the flair of a true poet...

Coming from a published poet like you, a praise is very much valuable! I should be contented but if you'll expound more 'feel for language' (how and which in this piece? not that I doubt what I've just done but that will help me more in the ones I'm going to write in the future) I'll be very happy as English language is just a second language to me. I usually become exhilarated when people comment such on my writings. Thank you very much.
