DEAR POETRY!

DEAR POETRY

By Mphatso Kaphwiyo and Mike Kaupembe

In a blurr
engulfed with vicseral uncertainty
you lighten the path to my inspiration
Only to awaken an urge so aesthetic
In a flash where the celestial bodies bear witness

Tossed back and forth
In a wave of muddled emotions
Propelled by a muse so Devine
Lost in a reality of ink that quells the imagination so strong
You nourish my insatiable curiosity

Trapped in an ambiance of a writer's block
You inspire the un-imaginable imaginations
Always rendering me speechless
Your tranquility calms my rowdiest passions
Like a fire scorching to consume the most serene minds
To a compelling quest for an indelible verse on their psyche

On this peculiar day
We consecrate our utmost solemn vows
That should rejuvenate inhumed endearments
Of the olden days and those to come
For you and I
Entwined in this elegant tapestry
Forever, inseparable we shall remain engrossed in verse so unique yet fragile!

HAPPY WORLD POETRY DAY EVERYONE

Congratulations for "Poem of the week" on StoryStar! I had no idea it was Poetry Day. Or that Poetry even had its own day. And since yours was a love poem, I would like to share a short love poem I memorized as a child. I don't know the Author (sadly) but here is the poem:
"Love is born like an infant,
without any fear of death.
It is the rain that nourishes me
Or, the wind which bends me."

Loved it back then, still love it now.

Smiles, Kevin
