The Velocity of Love
The velocity of love
Is straight, as starlight flies
From the breath of dying embers,
From the whispers of a sigh.
Creation's incantation
Of mind, into the ether,
Is blessing; curse divine,
Upon this life's thin tether.
Far flung fields of quasars
Transmute the code of being,
And change to nascent light
The inborn soul we're breathing.

Superb use of figurative language, from the seductive title, to the aural delight of 'Creation's incantation', to the alliterative allure of 'Far flung fields' - magnificent!

Ah! You are the master of the opening lines. 'The velocity of love is straight as starlight flies..' I can only admire the beauty of those words and wish they had been mine.

Wow, this poem is amazing! You have come up with such a unique take on such a common theme! The last stanza is so breathtaking, I wanted to re-read the poem over and over. Fabulous!
