Like spring-time plant
love perfumes everything
with buoyant hope
Love as though a dancer
in the dust
listening ever so intently
to bay of sighs
I long to enrich
my longing and pain
in desperate gulphs of love
Love blossoms
unexpectedly
as though magnolia dusk
painted on azure sky
Love pays no attention
to either doubt or reason
rather profusely gives
like a thoughtless prodigal
Poetry
flows from the heart
that has plunged itself
in love
Love as though
a glass full of wine
emotion, whim, desire
become pellucid
Dreams unfurl
round minds of lovers
nurturing their vision
with fervor
Love kisses us
unexpectedly with words
draining our senses
of calm
Observe as love plays
along the curves of mouth
defining our day

I love this, especially:
“listening ever so intently
to bay of sighs”
Thank you so much, De ❤️ so glad you liked it 😀
Splendid Sanaa… really one of your best… I think a poem that makes you stretch makes it even better… it had to be very late in KL writing this.
Thanks Bjorn 😀 yeah but I just couldn’t resist ❤️ thank you for such a fabulous prompt.
I liked the part about poetry flowing from a heart that has plunged itself in love.
Thank you kindly, Frank 🙂
Love, such a great object to explore from many facets. Wonderful stanzas all leaping from one to the other in exuberance.

I think I would have guessed you would write about love Sanaa.. this is so you. Nicely done.

Love the “magnolia dusk.” Lovely imagery.

You are such a romantic, Sanaa! I love the final stanza:
‘Observe as love plays
along the curves of mouth
defining our day’.

It’s like a wondrous bouquet of love!
Thank you Marilyn ❤️ so good to see you 🙂
Love the bit about the prodigal, and how we give to love without regard to doubt or reason.
Definitely 😀 thank you kindly, Bryan
You describe so well what it’s like to be immersed in love, Sanaa!
Thank you kindly, Gayle ❤️
Why am I not surprised that you chose love, something almost impossible…yes, impossible to dissect, observe objectively. It’s only at 73 that I’m really beginning to understand (a little). You have made good points.
Thank you so much, Victoria ❤️ good to see you 🙂
Lovely, delightful, and romantic. A very uplifting read Sanaa.
Thank you so much, so glad you liked it 🙂

How can one deny for love to be extending its most buoyant self to help the young lovers. Very true Sanaa!
