Notes to a Lover

https://artandthoughts.fr/2013/07/10/suleiman-the-magnificient-and-roxelane-hurrem/

You are my sugar, my salt, my bread

My Godhead, my watershed

My love, my life

My every poem born and dead

 

You are the Babel in me that needs

No words, the color of my doom

That sonic boom in me

Which goes forever unheard

 

You are my Osun, my Ganges

In you I take eternal, unholy dips

You are every absinthal cup

I dread but never fail to sip

 

You are my submission

My every reason, my perdition

My Dante’s Leopard

The perfect beast of my ruination

 

You are my rapture, my rupture

My fatal breath sweet

The renewal of all my glands

My every mortal defeat

 

You are my ruin, the skin

Of my sin, my Maat, My Min

My Gin, my every rabid grin

My every peeve and chagrin

 

You are my rite, my ritual

My crawl space spiritual

My every spasm, my paroxysm perpetual

You are my end always 

Unspoken and eventual...

[John the Baptist]

Very imaginative imagery and splendid rhyming here. The exalted wording could be directed to Krishna, but the note concerning Min with his erect phallus may mean the subject is one more mortal.

[DIVYA]

Thank you dear John...I'll be happy and smiling all day thinking of your kind words of praise. A big thanks for the Krishna refernce. He's the ultimate in romance for me. The deity of romance and love. Sometimes, I have immersed myself in his blue aura, his mystical beauty for days and months. A legend of legend for sure! So inspiring your words today!

[Gee]

"You to me are everything the sweetest song that I could sing on baby, oh baby.."
Your words bring the words of a song by The Real Thing to mind...do.you know it ??( You to me are everything)
Enjoyed your words Divya
Hope you are keeping well

[DIVYA]

Thank you so much dear Gee! I enjoyed the song. Just what I had in mind today. Keeping well, thanks and hoping the same for you.... Have a great evening...👋😊

[Gee]

Thank you, you too :)

I loved the poem dear Divya. You made the reader believe every word.
"You are my ruin, the skin
Of my sin, my Maat, My Min
My Gin, my every rabid grin
My every peeve and chagrin"
The above lines. I loved. Thank you for sharing the amazing chapter.

Just dreamt of and thought of love today, dear Coyote....We get so wrapped in these emotions sometimes....Thank you so much my dear friend for appreciating this poem.....Your words are treasured by me always.....🙏❤

[Coyote Poetry]

I loved the poem my dear friend and you are welcome.

[Haley]

This piece is stunning, I found myself getting lost and wrapped in the beauty of the words before me. You are able to make such great comparisons that fit with ease into the lines, I don't know how to say this the right way but sometimes comparisons to Gods can sound stuffy or pretentious, while this is still comfortable and warm. It's a really great piece!

[DIVYA]

Thank you so much, dear Haley....Just was overcome by these thoughts....they had to be penned and here they are....I suppose when we flow with the feelings then the lines just flow from us....Your review is so appreciated and treasured ⚘🙏

[Robert Trakofler]

Oh Divvy, the recipient of this grace will be among the luckiest of creatures that ever walked upon this earth! what unfettered passion you placed within these lines... it reads like pure love in its most ego abandoned form... open and vulnerable and yet unafraid! Lightsong sent me the link to this... this morning so it was the first thing I saw upon waking and as I reread it just now, it still resonates so sublimely :) I can't help but smile and sigh

[DIVYA]

Lightsong is my most kind and wonderful friend, dear Robert. I can't thank her enough for being of such a great support and encouragement to me always.
When love rises in the spirit, it dwarfs all else, doesn't it...? Indeed, we're so helpless in front of it.
I'm so grateful for your smiles, your sigh and your kind words today. Thank you so much my friend 🙏🌼

[Chris Shaw]

How inspired you were when you wrote these lines DIVYA and I truly hope you will have someone in your life that is truly that special. This is an awesome write and I don't often use that choice of vocabulary. Thank you for providing your detailed notes. A fine poem to read on a beautiful February morning and one that will stay in my memory bank.

Chris

[DIVYA]

Dear Chris ❤
You truly made my day! To be able to feel love is a blessing in itself. The idea of love in itself is so fantabulous, so great. Sitting by myself, I just got into that spirit today morning....wish it happened more often....
Coming from a beyond beautiful poet as you, such praise humbles me, my friend. I have no worthy enough words to thank you but thank you so much from my heart! ♥️🙏

[lightsong]

with or without your author's note, I am completely stunned and no words I can say to this masterpiece, my dearest Divya You sometimes fly byoned the world, without limits or boundaries... Oh I wish I wrote this* billions of billions of 100 stars ✨✨✨✨

[DIVYA]

Omg....God bless you my dearest of dear friends Ghounwah ❤ 😘
Been away in unsettling things and times....I hope you're very well and safe and ofcourse very happy!
Thank you so much for being so loving and kind to this poem. Poetry and love go so together don't they? Sultan Suleiman showed us that centuries ago... I pray that you have such love and joy always in your life ❤

[lightsong]

when I'm touched deeply and stunned to such sublime beauty I become speechless, and that's exactly what You do to me sometimes, You are without doubt gifted and talented but sometimes You even soar byoned this to places where I can't speak to You with words but with my heart ❤️

I pray your unsettling things and times be settled calmly so soon✨💞✨

[DIVYA]

Always here for you my friend. To care and share our thoughts and feelings. Stay blessed and joyful always. I pray you get all your heart's fondest wishes fulfilled today and everyday.

[lightsong]

May the same and more be filled in your heart and life my fine dearest DIVYA ✨💕✨
