A deserved homage

Romance...

A deserved homage        by Sami Khalil

A prose poem

The day I saw you

was an instant “Valentine’s Day”

a rivalry of emotions

a smorgasbord of thoughts

a legacy of love to stay

tucked away in my heart’s emporium shelves

calling jazz quartets regular guests on the show

a smooth, grandiose experiment in fancy delights

like Mistletoes over the head

past the hapless dread of endless lonely nights.

The day I saw you

I showed signs of new life

Thus, began energy and purpose

A new gallant man or soldier

to who service was a gift

a counter-thinker of impressions ready to be molded

and ripe for picking a different palaver of veracity in action 

a verdant, green paradise.

The day I saw you

was born to die; now born to live

and pay love a deserved homage.

there are few things that can make a man feel more alive than those moments aptly described in this piece.
despite the countless love songs, poems, books, movies, despite the scientific explanations about hormones and neurotransmitters, love remains a powerful, elusive mystery.

Sami Khalil,
This was inspiring! To find that romance is alive and happy is just the thing. The instant I sae you was an instant "valentine's day". thoughts, emotions, love....tucked away in my heart's emporium shelves. These just a few of the lovely sentiments within this very meaningful and clever poem.
Beautifully done to a special one.
Blessings,
Kathy

How lovely! A born to die is now born to live. Love can do that. It sounds like you met someone truly special and are honoring them in poetry. I can respect and honor that!

So true and well articulated dear poet and friend.
Enjoy the trappings of love in your kingdom; that is your Harems.
